The triennial ICLEI World Congress is the foremost assembly of
local governments, and their partners, committed to sustainable
urban development.
The ICLEI World Congress 2015 will convene local sustainability
leaders in one of the largest metropolitan areas of the world.
Challenged by rapid urbanization, air pollution and growing
motorization, Seoul Metropolitan Government is among the
world’s most ambitious cities to reduce its CO2 emissions,
carbon footprint and resource consumption. Strong civic
engagement combined with ambitious local leadership guides
decision making in Seoul, setting a high standard for many other
cities in East Asia and across the globe to follow.
Over five days of exchange and networking, the ICLEI World
Congress 2015 will provide strong contributions to the global
debates on the Urban Sustainable Development Goal, global
climate governance, and the increasing roles of local
governments in tackling global challenges. The ICLEI World
Congress 2015 will strengthen the bridges between local
governments and their partners in international organizations,
NGOs and business, while empowering urban decision makers
with effective, viable solutions for improved local sustainability. .
.
Some 1,500 expected participants can look forward to a diverse
program of high-level plenaries, sub-plenaries, parallel sessions,
mobile workshops, and trainings. The five-day program of
networking and exchange will focus on delivering tangible city
solutions across areas including low-carbon development;
resilience and adaptation; biodiversity; water; EcoMobility; green
urban economy; smart urban infrastructure, and many more. . .
A highlight of the ICLEI World Congress 2015 Exhibition is the
City Poster Exhibition, which offers local governments the
opportunity to publicly exhibit their local actions on sizable
posters. Local governments will just need to supply information
and the ICLEI World Congress 2015 Team will create, print, and
display your poster at the Exhibition. For more information, as
well as to submit a City Poster, please visit our City Poster page
on our website.
