Again from Co-Pilot AI: It sounds like you’re questioning whether ICLEI’s name or mission contains a contradiction. Some critics argue that the phrase "Local Governments for Sustainability" could be contradictory if local governments end up committing to international climate initiatives without significant local debate or economic review.
The article you're viewing discusses how municipalities join the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program, which is run by ICLEI and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). According to the article, the process for a town to join involves signing a resolution without requiring public consultation or an economic impact assessment. Critics see this as a contradiction because it involves local governments aligning with global climate goals—like the UN’s Paris Agreement—without extensive local input.
