Mission

ICLEI is the world’s leading network of 12 mega-cities, 100 super-cities and urban regions,
450 large cities, and 450 small and medium-sized cities and towns in 84 countries. ICLEI helps cities become sustainable, resilient, resource-efficient, low-carbon, and
biodiverse; to develop a green urban economy with smart infrastructure; and ultimately,
it’s all about a planet with healthy & happy communities.

Disaster Reduction Goal

Cities must be low-risk and resilient if they want to be sustainable: resilient to disaster,
climate change, unforeseen events and economic shocks.

Policies and Programmes in DRR

Resilient City is one of ICLEI agendas focusing on helping cities to become more resilient to disaster,
climate change, unforeseen events and economic shocks.
Every year ICLEI organizes a Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation - Resilient Cities. Resilient Cities 2013 will take place from 31 May to 2 June 2013 in Bonn, Germany.

ICLEILocal Governments for Sustainability, founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, is an international association of local governments and national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development.

The association was established when more than 200 local governments from 43 countries convened at its inaugural conference, the World Congress of Local Governments for a Sustainable Future, at the United Nations in New York in September 1990.[1] Today, more than 1200 cities, towns, counties, and their associations in 84 countries comprise ICLEI's growing membership.[2] ICLEI works with these and hundreds of other local governments through international performance-based, results-oriented campaigns and programs. It provides technical consulting, training, and information services to build capacity, share knowledge, and support local government in the implementation of sustainable development at the local level. ICLEI's basic premise is that locally designed initiatives can provide an effective and cost-efficient way to achieve local, national, and global sustainability objectives.[3]
