Network for Climate Action

This network brings together municipal partnerships with a focus on climate and local democracy.

Municipalities and regions play a key role in climate adaptation—by creating sustainable local solutions and engaging citizens, civil society, and businesses. By involving diverse stakeholders, it becomes easier to identify effective solutions and measures to combat climate change.

The Climate Network includes six partnership collaborations between Swedish municipalities and partners from Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, or Zambia. These partnerships work on themes related to local climate action, such as citizen dialogue, waste management, water supply, public transport, or urban planning. Each municipality determines its own theme, which may be linked to a pressing issue, an ongoing multi-year initiative, or a development strategy.

Selected participants from the municipalities are also offered the opportunity to take part in ICLD’s training programmes. The training component in this network is designed and implemented in collaboration with UNCDF and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).
