The ICLEI World Congress 2021 - 2022 is now a year-long experience, hosted by ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability and the City of Malmö, Sweden

ICLEI’s triennial gathering offers multiple opportunities to connect throughout 2021 – 2022.

Every three years, ICLEI holds their World Congress to showcase how local and regional governments across our network are advancing sustainable urban development worldwide. The ICLEI World Congress connects them with their peers and strategic partners, and provides a platform for discussions that will inform and enhance their work.

ICLEI will gather in person in Malmö, Sweden, for The Malmö Summit, on 11-13 May 2022 to exchange with and inspire one another on the best practices in local sustainable development, and learn firsthand from the City of Malmö’s wealth of sustainability initiatives. 

The Malmö Summit will feature three days of rich and engaging sessions, each of them divided into the following overarching categories:

• Strategies towards a climate neutral future
• Strategies towards resilient and healthy communities in harmony with nature
• Strategies towards equitable and inclusive communities

In order for cities, towns and regions to achieve these objectives, key enablers for action need to be leveraged. The Malmö Summit will give special attention to two of those enablers: Sustainable finance and Innovation.
