ICLEI: Local Governments for Sustainability and the U.N. Connection

ICLEI: Local Governments for Sustainability and the U.N. Connection,,, A true fascist connection between the new world order's agenda of the UN and the environazi's agenda to eliminate private property!


ICLEI, now known as Local Governments for Sustainability is in the process of purging their website of United Nations references despite an abundant history of association. There are now over 600 cities and counties within the United States that have contracts with ICLEI.

"During the Local Government Session at the World Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa (August 2002), local government leaders from around the world, as well as representatives from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), UN-HABITAT and the World Health Organization (WHO), joined ICLEI in launching Local Action 21 as the next phase of Local Agenda 21 (LA21)."

The above quotation existed on the ICLEI.org website up until at least 2009, when Freedom Advocates took a screen shot of it and linked to it in the ICLEI Primer. Since the ICLEI.org link is no longer working, we have included the screen shot at the end of this article. Be sure to read it!

Before ICLEI changed their name to Local Governments for Sustainability, they called themselves the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). ICLEI is specifically endorsed on page 55 of the United Nations Agenda 21 document. Here is what it says in the "Promoting Sustainable Human Settlement Development" Section 1.7.21 of the original document.

"7.21 Cities of all countries should reinforce cooperation among themselves and cities of developed countries, under the aegis of non-governmental organizations active in this field, such as the International Union of Local Authorities (IULA), the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) and the World Federation of Twin Cities."

Maurice Strong, a Canadian oil billionaire, was the United Nation's Secretary General at the U.N.'s 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. This is when Agenda 21 was unleashed on the world. Since then, he was implicated in the oil for food scandal and now lives as a fugitive in China where he directs that country's implementation of Agenda 21. Maurice Strong had this to say in the forward to ICLEI's published document, The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide: AN INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING:

"When this mandate was set out in 1992, there was little information available on how to proceed. It therefore gives me particular satisfaction to report that, since 1992, more than 1,300 local authorities from 31 countries have responded to the Agenda 21 mandate by developing their own Local Agenda 21 action plans for sustainable development.

The task of mobilizing and technically supporting Local Agenda 21 planning in these communities has been led by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) and national associations of local government. Now, with the further support of the International Development Research Centre and the United Nations Environment Programme, ICLEI is able to present the first worldwide documentation of Local Agenda 21 planning approaches, methods, and tools in this Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide."

In ICLEI's own annual report they openly advertise their relationship with the United Nations:

"To this end, we formed a strong partnership with local government associations, national governments, and international organizations including various United Nations agencies."
--Konrad Otto-Zimmermann, Secretary General and Kaarin Taipale, Chair

And more from ICLEI's older website pages that have subsequently been changed (we have noted where they originally were found):

"ICLEI coordinates Local Government advocacy towards the United Nations, especially: Commission on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD) and Environment Programme (UNEP)." (www.iclei.org/partners)

"ICLEI coordinates the representation of local governments in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, ensuring municipalities are part of the global climate negotiations." (www.cilei.org/ccp)

"An association of over 1100 local governments that represents the interests of local authorities within the United Nations and at international policy forums." (www.iclei.org/about)

"ICLEI is part of the Global Partnership on Cities and Biodiversity and organizes advocacy by local governments at the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity." (www.iclei.org/biodiversity)

The United Nations certainly loves them:

"UNEP has been supporting ICLEI since its foundation."
--Achim Steiner, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme (Intro to ICLEI 2009)

"ICLEI is a strong partner for UN-HABITAT in the endeavour to bridge the gap between thinking and practice regarding sustainable urban development."
--Mrs. Anna Tiabijuka, Executive Director, UN-HABITAT, UN Under-Secretary General (Intro to ICLEI 2009)

This 2009 ICLEI web page showing the connection between ICLEI and the U.N. has since been removed from the http://www.iclei.org
