Green Cross Australia

Mission

Green Cross Australia helps people adapt to our changing climate, in ways that embrace sustainability and community resilience. We are motivated by our understanding of a resource-constrained, warming planet and our belief that this challenge presents opportunities for a bright future.

Our mantra, Think + Act + Share = Change, is key to every project we deliver. We believe the power of our projects is empowering 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.

Green Cross Australia is helping to build stronger communities as we confront the realities of our changing climate. We encourage communities to learn about the history of severe weather and what climate scientists project for coming decades. We encourage a culture of disaster preparedness and self relience given that, when major weather events occur, families and entire communities can be without power or clean drinking water for many days.

In addition to supporting preparedness, we offer tools and inspiring case studies that encourage people who have been impacted by natural disasters to rebuild in sustainable and resilient ways. We help people to build back green.
