Green Cross Australia helps people adapt to our changing climate, in ways that foster a global values shift towards a secure and sustainable future
We are proud members of an international heritage with a distinctive history. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mikhail Gorbachev became deeply engaged with the Rio Earth Summit.
In1993 Gorbachev founded Green Cross International in order to create a new approach to solving the world's most pressing environmental challenges by reconnecting humanity to the environment.
Over 30 Green Cross offices around the world work towards this
vision.
In Australia we work with respected business, research, community and government partners to deliver world class digital projects that foster a global values shift towards a secure and sustainable future.
