Subnational Governments and Next Generations Address the Climate Emergency Together
Today, facing the global climate emergency which is closely interlinked with the global acts crisis, it is clear that accelerating action across the board is the need of the hour. With several ongoing global crises, ICLEI - Local Government for Sustainability (ICLEI) takes action by supporting local and regional governments in 125 countries around the globe to accelerate localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to foster resilient, net-zero emission, nature-based, circular, equitable and inclusive development.
