Warsaw to join ICLEI local governments club

Warsaw City Council decided  on Thursday that the city will join ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) associating over 1,300 cities, towns and metropolises in around 70 countries.

"The organization is an influential partner for supporting our initiatives. It has been obtaining funds successfully not only from the EU budget, but from the UN as well," said Leszek Drogosz, director of the infrastructure department at city hall. The annual due amounts to $6,000.

ICLEI is an international association of local governments and national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development.
