We empower a resilient Australia by partnering with communities, businesses and government to proactively mitigate climate-related disruptions.
At Green Cross Australia, we work with communities, businesses, and governments to build a more resilient Australia—one that is sustainable, inclusive, and ready for the challenges of a changing climate.
Founded under the international Green Cross movement, our legacy is rooted in a global mission of peace, sustainability, and equity. Today, we focus on delivering practical solutions that help prevent and mitigate climate-related disruptions, while empowering others to act.
Our Focus Areas
Nature-Based Solutions
We advocate for nature-focused approaches that protect ecosystems, strengthen disaster resilience, and improve well-being. By integrating natural systems into planning and design, we help communities adapt and thrive.
Sustainable Infrastructure and
Urban Planning
We promote infrastructure and built environments that are people-focused, resource-efficient, and responsive to climate risks. Our aim is to support circular economy practices and scalable, climate-resilient designs.
Empowered Communities
We equip individuals, organisations, and local leaders with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to participate in resilience-building, lead local solutions, and shape a sustainable future.
“We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise.”
— Mikhail Gorbachev, Founder of Green Cross International
