EcoLogistics promotes the transportation of goods by giving priority to health, safety, low emission, and people-centered urban development. It encourages circular and regional economies while limiting the impact of freight transport.
Through the EcoLogistics initiative, ICLEI aims to transform the urban logistics scene in cities through effective regulatory, planning, and administrative instruments at all levels of government. By highlighting urban freight as a priority area for local, regional, and national governments, ICLEI strengthens institutional capacity through multi-stakeholder participation and encourages a multilevel governance approach to urban freight policies.
In 2021, the ICLEI World Secretariat and the East Asia Secretariat co-produced the publication EcoLogistics in East Asia: The Frontier for Sustainable Urban Mobility.

The overarching goal of the “CitiesSHIFT: Capacity building and networking for climate- and people-friendly mobility” project was to support cities to identify challenges and opportunities of urban mobility system in the hope that the city could shift towards more ecomobile modes of travel, i.e., walking, cycling, shared and public transport. The two-year project (2018 to […]
The overarching goal of the “CitiesSHIFT: Capacity building and networking for climate- and people-friendly mobility” project was to support cities to identify challenges and opportunities of urban mobility system in the hope that the city could shift towards more ecomobile modes of travel, i.e., walking, cycling, shared and public transport.
The two-year project (2018 to 2020) was funded by the Hewlett Foundation and the EcoMobility Alliance. The final project report demonstrates how the EcoMobility SHIFT+ tool can be adopted to assess and measure the transportation system of six cities in China, India, and Uganda.

The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) is the largest global alliance for city climate leadership across the globe.
Through participating in working groups of GCoM, ICLEI provides technical guidance which addresses mitigation and adaptation in specific data-related sub-groups, including Emissions and Targets; Climate Action Planning; Resilience; and Access to Energy. ICLEI also participates in non-data-related groups, including Access to Finance; Governance and Regional Coherence; Research; and Communications.
ICLEI has a representative in each group and sub-group, submits written comments, and attends calls and in-person meetings. The goal is to unify and centralize how data are reported, using which channels, and how is it communicated to global stakeholders. ICLEI also provides data revision toward GCoM requirements for ICLEI Members and network of cities.

ecoBUDGET, developed by ICLEI for and with local authorities, is founded on the concept that our natural resources, such as air, potable water, biodiversity, etc. can and should be managed with the same level of care and preciseness as our financial resources.

ecoBUDGET, developed by ICLEI for and with local authorities, is founded on the concept that our natural resources, such as air, potable water, biodiversity, etc. can and should be managed with the same level of care and preciseness as our financial resources.
The tool enables environmental values to be budgeted in the same way a local authority would construct a financial budget. Through the creation of an environmental “Master Budget” local authorities can keep track of, and set goals for, their scarce natural resources in the coming years.
