About Ambitious City Promises

In a rapidly urbanizing world, local governments and their communities play a pivotal role in tackling climate change and advancing sustainability in cities. The Ambitious City Promises project, led by ICLEI, was designed to advance this work by capacitating local governments, engaging citizens and driving climate action through Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS).

The ICLEI World Secretariat was responsible for project management and coordination. ICLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat and ICLEI East Asia Secretariat were also implementing partners. The Seoul Metropolitan Government was a supporting partner.
