> The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI)
> is the international environmental agency for local governments. We
> know from concrete experience that local actions can have a global
> impact. Global consumption and waste production is increasingly
> concentrated in urban areas. The concentration of people in cities
> provides unparalleled opportunities to both meet human needs and
> reduce and manage wastes. Meanwhile, by strengthening rural
> communities we can reduce the pattern of ecological destruction and
> population migration which is often a result of rural poverty and
> desperation.
>
> Local governments, in partnership with their residents and local
> businesses, are taking action. ICLEI was established in 1990 through a
> partnership of the United Nations Environment Programme, the
> International Union of Local Authorities (IULA), and the Center for
> Innovative Diplomacy. ICLEI maintains a formal association with IULA.
> We welcome you to join and support our movement!
