Green Cross Australia aims to empower communities to act on disaster risk in the face of the cascading impacts of climate change. Our role is to support the difficult discussions that help communities to balance risk and opportunity, and to support action to prepare for and thrive in an uncertain future.
Who we want to partner with?
+ We want to partner with local councils, other levels of government and communities who recognise the work to be done to understand their exposure risk and enhance their resilience.
+ We will work with proactive and passionate leaders in communities to establish peer-to-peer networks and other forums that stimulate discussion, raise awareness of potential exposure and generate actions that could be taken at individual, community or sector level.
We are leaders in delivering innovative award winning digital projects.
We are a respected organisation, with strong connections to industry, research and government sectors nationally and internationally.
Our people are thought-leaders, policy-shapers and influencers in resilience and sustainability.
We are not-for-profit and non-advocacy - our focus is building resilient communities.
We are a values based organisation that aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Our mantra is key to every project we deliver. The power of these projects is motivating Australians to take practical, informed action. So we don’t just focus on awareness, we encourage people to take action, and then give them the tools via social and digital media to share their actions with their friends.
