Cool Mayors

 Were you looking for the Cool Mayors website, www.coolmayors.org?

With the launch of the new ICLEI website in the Spring of 2008, we have refocused our efforts on promoting local government leadership on climate and sustainability here.

If you are looking for resources (formerly housed in the Mayor’s Tool Room on the Cool Mayors site), please visit our Action Center. Myriad Success Stories are also available here.

A Legacy of Leadership 

A Cool Mayor is about climate and leadership. A Cool Mayor is about a can-do attitude and a solutions-oriented approach. A Cool Mayor is prepared to take on a difficult issue piece by piece and bring the community along. A Cool Mayor acts to promote energy efficiency, pioneer renewable energy, recycle waste, plant trees, plan smart growth, reduce traffic congestion – whatever it takes to bring about climate protection, piece by piece, solution by solution.

To qualify as a Cool Mayor, you have signed the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement and/or have joined ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability.
