We are not here to lead infrastructure projects—we're here to connect, equip, and support others to take informed, meaningful action. By focusing on education, knowledge sharing, cross-sector collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making, we help build capacity for a more sustainable and resilient future. Our work is delivered through three interconnected focus areas: - Nature-Based Solutions – Restoring and integrating ecosystems to strengthen community resilience. - Sustainable Built Environment – Promoting climate-adaptive, people-centred, and circular design principles. - Empowered Communities – Providing the tools, skills, and networks to help people shape their own resilient futures. We invite you to explore our full Strategic Intent for more detail on our goals, focus areas, and how we work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1622037028704-DWU7UYVT4T1KXU5R5UH4/about-1.jpg About Us - Why does Green Cross international exist? In 1989 USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev addressed the Global Forum for the Survival of Humanity and proposed the formation of an organisation which would apply the medical emergency response model of Red Cross International to ecological issues and expedite solutions to environmental problems that transcend national boundaries. Green Cross International was formally launched in Kyoto, on 18 April 1993 with many renowned personalities on its Board of Directors and Honorary Board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1622048906299-BS4HBOGHMYZ4GDNYD7GV/about-2.jpg About Us Green Cross International sought to establish national affiliates, which would enjoy autonomy in conducting their own projects but would also participate in at least one international programme. Green Cross International is now represented in 30 countries around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624376022344-CYA6UIHO2FFZC28R6QTP/Untitled+design+%281%29.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624525748827-HPXWLHDSXTLOSADXQWE9/icon-5.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624525737469-7PWZAWNQQRP0XWXVIXV4/icon-4.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624525768235-VZB4MRDQMIYZ04YPGC6H/icon-2.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624525805284-ZD3XNRJXF604GO5X26Y0/icon-3.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624525819085-23HHVL0N3TX61IY2MCCE/icon-6.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.greencrossaustralia.org/our-work daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624524233335-M48WDAY626P2OQV31RV5/community-meeting.jpg Our Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624526103905-ZRGLGABFYH5Z3EOJM5WD/collaboration.jpg Our Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1625144369781-XPQHWANFTBCM2DSR1J93/windmill.jpg Our Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a9016464aece2ab4c93142/1624542190692-NBS3Y2UTGGJC3LGZDCEK/unsplash-image-mKwBMtDSZes.jpg Our Work - Home Ownership Exposure to Climate Risk - Hypothetical #1 On 3 May 2018 a panel of industry experts explored some of the most challenging long-term issues facing home owners and the broader property sector at the Home Ownership Exposure in a Climate Risk Future Hypothetical forum.
