On the occasion of the ICLEI World Congress São Paulo Summit; ICLEI USA and ClimateView announced their intention to partner to create next-generation technology solutions for city climate action planning, investment, and implementation. This partnership harnesses the potential of integrating the capabilities of ICLEI USA’s Climate Planner tool (ClearPath) with the innovative ClimateView Platform.
Released to California local governments in 2013 and nationally in 2014, ICLEI’s ClearPath software is the industry-leading climate inventory and modeling tool used by more than 900 U.S. local and regional governments. It provides end-to-end emissions-management support, including greenhouse gas inventorying, forecasting, planning, and monitoring. ClearPath is bolstered by ICLEI USA’s technical advisory services, and aligned to both ICLEI-authored U.S. and global emissions-accounting protocols.
“We developed the ClearPath platform, because we recognized the need to provide affordable, easy-to-use software, supported by technical experts who understand local climate action. That didn’t exist a decade ago. A partnership with ClimateView allows us to develop a platform 2.0 with an improved user interface and access to new features, including public dashboards for stakeholder engagement, as well as the potential to leverage artificial intelligence. Working together, ICLEI USA and ClimateView will unlock new potential in helping cities with their climate actions and securing the necessary investments and public support for these transitions. That is what makes this opportunity so exciting.”
– Angie Fyfe, ICLEI USA Executive Director
The partnership will start with a two-month feasibility pilot. The software platform that ClimateView provides enables systematic and integrated modeling of economic, policy and energy shifts for cities to manage, and report with unified metrics based on IPCC mitigation options. The platform allows all stakeholders to adopt a data-driven approach to the climate transition, capitalize on opportunities from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG), and maintain transparency, particularly in reporting to CDP. As of 2024, ClimateView is used by over 135 cities.
“ICLEI is a global force in local climate action. By combining the expertise and network of ICLEI USA with the technology of ClimateView, we’re making data-informed climate planning structured, measurable and accessible, laying the foundation for financing. This cross-pollination of knowledge and solutions between cities will help local governments in the United States and beyond to reach their targets.”
– Einar Bodström, CEO of ClimateView
