ABOUT ICLEI-LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability is an international membership association of local governments committed to climate protection, clean en- ergy, and sustainability. Since its inception in 1990, ICLEI has grown to in- clude more than 1,200 local governments worldwide, with more than 600 in the United States. ICLEI USA’s mission is to build, serve, and drive a movement of local
governments to advance deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and achieve tangible improvements in local sustainability. We empower local governments with tools, resources, and technical support to meet their self- defined goals. Learn more at

ABOUT PLANET EARTH MAGAZINE
The mission of Planet Earth magazine is to highlight today’s environmental challenges and innovative solutions around the globe, but at the local level. Never has the phrase, “think global, act local” been more relevant or more true. Local governments recognize that their communities are often the first to feel the impacts of worldwide issues such as climate change, and thus it is their responsibility to tackle them head on. Cities, towns, and counties have taken the lead to address climate
change, energy independence, and long-term sustainability. And they have turned these challenges into opportunities: Their pioneering solutions are helping to make their communities cleaner, more economically prosper- ous, and more livable. Planet Earth captures the ideas, best practices, and success stories of ICLEI’s U.S. local government members—more than 600 strong—and highlights the work that ICLEI and its partner organizations are doing to empower this local, global revolution. The theme that Planet Earth conveys in stories and images: Local Action Moves the World.
