October 22nd, 2008: Urban Climate Solutions
Tackling global climate change is one of the most serious and complex issues of the twenty-first century; a task that has no simple answers and requires innovative solutions.
Local governments around the world are demonstrating commitment in climate mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in their operations and acting as leaders in their communities. However, to be effective they cannot act alone. They must engage with other sectors to broaden and deepen their impact.
Urban Climate Solutions provides a venue for local governments from around the world to engage in dialogue with leaders from business and academia.
Academic specialists are conducting leading edge research; business leaders are developing new technological solutions to mitigate climate change; and municipal decision makers are putting these theories and applications into practice at the local level. Together these three sectors are providing Urban Climate Solutions.

June 14th, 2009: ICLEI World Congress 2009
The ICLEI World Congress 2009, June 14 - 18, 2009 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada will be a five-day event filled with insightful presentations and discussions, study tours and celebrations, sharing and learning.
Join mayors, local governments, and colleagues, as more than 800 delegates worldwide come together in Edmonton. This is a key event for all ICLEI Members and a golden opportunity for partners to gain a better understanding of the achievements of ICLEI and its Members. Delegates will be able to learn from each other and interact beyond regional boundaries, and watch the ICLEI network strengthen and grow. We invite each municipality to reach out to neighbouring communities, sister cities, and other partner municipalities to encourage them to join ICLEI and participate in the inspiring World Congress.
The program will showcase the vast work of ICLEI members on advancing sustainability, for and about local governments. It will be enriched by global strategists sharing their vision on the opportunities and challenges for local governments in the coming decade. The discussions around ICLEI’s Strategic Plan shall be a milestone for the organisation, looking back at 18 years of activities to determine ICLEI’s role in the coming future.

September 5th, 2008: 2008 NNECAPA Conference - Day 2
Join us for the Annual NNECAPA Conference at the beautiful Woodstock Inn in Woodstock Vermont on September 4 and 5, 2008.
PLANNING FOR THE NET GENERATION
In twenty years, the last of the baby-boomers will be eligible for retirement, and the Net Generation will be middle-aged. What will their world look like? What will "community" mean in a society influenced by the internet and cell phones? What effect will global warming and the energy situation have on the way people live and get around? How do we engage the Net Generation in identifying and planning for their needs? What can we learn from educators to help us better engage today's youth in planning for their future?
For AICP members, CM credits will be available for certain sessions.
Join us for this informative and thought provoking topic. Share your ideas and help us brainstorm new ones. Catch up with your peers in Woodstock Village or the Inn's own golf course.
A limited number of rooms have been reserved at the Inn for conference attendees. Register now for your hotel room - mention NNECAPA to receive the discounted rate of $160 per night.
