This is THE chance to be part of a global group of cities that are laying the foundations for a sustainable future! ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability has now more than 1055 member cities and organizations in 66 countries, representing 400.000.000 people. ICLEI members are leading the path towards sustainability: you can be part of this group of sustainable leaders by joining us at the World Congress 2009!

Policy makers, city planners, councillors and mayors will come together with experts from business, academia and NGOs to exchange information and to find practical local solutions for a sustainable future. In the presence of the most advanced cities in field of sustainability and outstanding world-wide experts, you will discuss best practice case studies, effective strategies and innovative solutions.

Climate change, the economic crisis, and much more have combined to form a complex challenge to local governments around the world, making your work towards sustainability more challenging than ever. Our cities should become carbon-neutral, climate-resilient, eco-efficient - but how can this be done? Come to Edmonton and find out!

The program will touch upon many areas of urban environmental sustainability, from Climate & Energy to Biodiversity and from Resilience & Adaptation to Water. Speakers from UNEP, the Global Footprint Network, the International Energy Agency, the International Centre for Sustainable Cities, and many more, will be represented at the Congress.
