Evidence snapshot for Bonn
ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability was founded in Bonn in 1990 and now links over 2,500 local and regional governments across 125+ countries in a peer-learning network for climate action. Bonn is Germany's official 'UN City' and hosts ICLEI's World Secretariat. A quantitative study of 257 US member cities found that length of ICLEI membership was the strongest predictor of climate-milestone attainment, stronger than local socioeconomic or political conditions, though the evidence does not demonstrate Bonn's own climate performance or outcomes from the city itself.
