ICLEI World Congress 2021: Call for bids

ICLEI announced a call for applications to host the World Congress, which is held every three years in cities around the world.

The first founding congress took place in New York (USA) in 1990. Last June Montreal (Canada) welcomed participants from around the globe at the recent ICLEI World Congress.
Now, ICLEI is preparing for ICLEI World Congress 2021, and is calling for bids from Members interested in hosting the event.

Prospective host cities should be prepared to host a core event of 3.5-4 days in length, augmented with additional pre- and post-event meetings and workshops, and receive well over a thousand attendees as they engage in both ICLEI’s governance and a wide range of thematic events.

Benefits for the ICLEI World Congress host city include:

Positioning the city as a committed leader that supports the local government movement world-wide.
International exposure among the local government community and international organizations.
Opportunities to showcase its sustainable development activities to local, national and global audiences.
Opportunities to build local capacity by connecting city staff with experts and organizations from around the globe.

If you represent an ICLEI Member and you are interested in hosting the ICLEI World Congress 2021, please write to events@iclei.org to receive the bidding package, which includes more details on the event and what is needed to submit a proposal.

Please note that only ICLEI Members are eligible to host the ICLEI World Congress. If you are interested in exploring ICLEI Membership, please write to membership@iclei.org.

ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, is a global network of cities, towns and regions committed to building a sustainable future.
