Consultants and Third-Party Partners

We recognize that many local governments rely on qualified third-party partners to support their climate planning. As part of the ClearPath 2.0 launch, we’ve introduced the Trained Professionals Program for consultants, academic institutions, and other external partners. If you’re interested in participating, please fill out the Eligibility Form to get started.

Please note: This form is intended only for third-party consultants and partners who work in support of local governments. It is not for local government staff. If you are a local government representative, please contact ICLEI USA to learn more about membership or to request a non-member license.

ClearPath 2.0 Trained Professionals Program

The Trained Professionals Program equips consultants and service providers with the training and recognition needed to deliver ClearPath 2.0 services effectively. Participants gain national visibility, access to training and platform tools, and discounted Add-Ons — while giving local governments an easy way to connect with trusted partners who can support their climate action planning.

Explore the brochure below to learn more, and don’t miss the webinar for a deeper dive into the program.
