Information Clearinghouse

One of ICLEI's fundamental "core" services to its Members is to serve as an information clearinghouse on local environmental initiatives. ICLEI has performed this service through the publication of newsletters, a case study series, and a variety of technical manuals on topics ranging from financing energy efficiency projects to solid waste management to the use of municipal economic instruments to increase environmental performance. Much of this information is available on-line.
