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.
