ICLEI USA's standards, tools, and programs credibly, transparently, and robustly reduce g reenhouse gas emissions, improve lives and livelihoods and protect natural resources in the U.S. communities we ser ve. Since 1995, ICLEI has ser ved as the global focal point for local and regional governments at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. ICLEI established the first global platfor m for urban resilience and climate change adaptation, the Resilient Cities Cong ress in 2010. From 2010 to 2019, the Congress ser ved as a space for discussion on urban resilience across major global sustainability agendas: The transition from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Ag reement on Climate Change, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015- 2030, and the New Urban Agenda.

CCP introduced the Five Milestones of Emissions Management framework to manage GHG emissions through inventories, targets, and climate action plans, creating a standard of practice for U.S. cities. Building on experience delivering the Five Milestones, ICLEI USA developed the emissions accounting protocols that are now industry standards for U.S. local governments: ● U.S. Community Protocol (USCP) for Accounting and Reporting GHG Emissions ● Local Government Operations Protocol for Measuring GHG Emissions ● Recycling and Composting Protocol ● Forestr y and Land Use Update (Appendix J) to the U.S. Community Protocol ICLEI’s ClearPath GHG emissions-management software platfor m, developed in 2013, provides the automated application of these protocols. More than 660 U.S. jurisdictions have collectively created 1,069 community-scale inventories and climate action plan scenarios (targets and forecasts) as of 2021 - demonstrating ClearPath’s ability to support emissions accounting at a significant scale. ICLEI USA uses ClearPath inventory data to calculate city and county 2030 science-based targets (SBTs) and related high-impact actions, putting communities on track to achieve zero emissions by 2050. The SBT methodology is one of many global initiatives of the ICLEI world Secretariat, who co-developed the Global Protocol for Community Scale GHG emissions (GPC); the Covenant of Mayors’ Common Reporting Framework; and SBT methodologies.
