Letter from Our Executive Director

Fully emerging from our Covid cocoons, we managed to network, collaborate, learn from and share aspirations and knowledge at in-person events. We were fortunate to take the ICLEI USA staff and Board to the ICLEI World Congress to share signature projects, see the many sustainability sites of Malmö, Sweden, and connect our members across continents. Our delegations of leaders at the climate COP27 and biodiversity COP15 continued to raise the alarm for people and nature.

Launching the ICLEI USA Action Fund, supported by Google.org, the applicant pool amplified the need and opportunity to address housing affordability, efficiency and electrification.

Thank you to the communities in which we are privileged to work. Your daily dose of inspiration keeps all of us pressing forward.

– Angie Fyfe, Executive Director, ICLEI USA
