Green Cross Projects
Australians face a dilemma. We contribute the most to greenhouse emissions and yet we stand to lose the most. Our projects expose the human suffering that environmental destruction causes. Through compassion and education Green Cross is turning concern into action. Find out more about the projects:
 | A National People's AssemblySea levels are rising dramatically due to climate change and millions of lives and livelihoods are at risk. The National People’s Assembly gives everyday Australians a chance to have their say and confront the risks we face.  |
 | Extreme Weather HeroesEmergency service workers are Extreme Weather Heroes, bravely stepping up to the frontline in the fight against climate change. Green Cross is working with our brave volunteers to create a force for change. |
 | UN Rivers ConventionPoor and uncoordinated river management is degrading many of the massive river systems that span continents. This is devastating ecosystems and also provoking conflicts. |
 | Water TreatyAccess to water isn’t a privilege. It is a right. But 1.2 billion people do not have access to drinking water. 2.4 billion lack basic sanitation. Thirst kills. So does dirty water. To halt the global water crisis, we need an international law on the right to water. |
 | Agent Orange LegacyWar can devastate ecosystems. Vietnam suffers widespread contamination from the defoliant Agent Orange. Thousands of severely handicapped children are born every year. Destroy the environment and we destroy ourselves. |
 | Solar FutureThe planet's population is expected to grow from 6 billion to 9 billion over the next 50 years. By 2050, we will need twice as much power as we use today. Unless this power comes from renewable sources, the planet’s climate could get much hotter. |
 | Food for ThoughtGreen Cross explores the link between peak oil, food and climate change with Cuban Permaculture Environmentalist Roberto Perez and finds out what this means for Australia and Australian policy with Ian Dunlop. |
