ICLEI World Congress 2021 will showcase how local and regional governments across the ICLEI network, together with their partners, are advancing sustainable urban development worldwide.

Participants will learn about and exchange on cutting edge issues and challenges in the field of sustainable urban development. The thematic framework for the congress program will be constructed around ICLEI’s five development pathways: Low emission development, nature-based development, circular development, resilient development, equitable and people-centered development.

Various session formats from high level plenaries to workshops and networking offerings will be part of the congress program.
