GLOBAL GREEN USA
Our mission is to foster a global value shift in the transition to a just, sustainable and secure future, by reconnecting humanity with the environment. We bring holistic sustainable solutions for people, places and a planetary future.
Global Green USA is a non-profit organization established in 1994 by Diane Meyer Simon, and headquartered in Los Angeles. For 25 years, Global Green USA has been a national leader in advancing smart solutions to address climate change, and environmental protection.
We create transformative model projects and advance new policies that build sustainable and resilient communities and affordable housing. We help local governments, schools, and public agencies integrate sustainable design, clean energy, and water reduction measures. Our goal is to improve lives, protect environmental health and the Earth’s natural systems.
Global Green USA is on a calling to lead a global response to keep humanity within planetary boundaries. Our legacy includes working for the elimination of weapons of mass destruction that threaten lives and the environment, and to provide communities with clean and safe drinking water. We work with empowering people through education for sustainable development.
We work in alignment of the holistic international frameworks of the Earth Charter Declaration, the UN the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals, and Net Zero commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Global Green USA is a national organization of Green Cross International founded by Nobel Peace Laurette Mikhail Gorbachev in 1993, to promote global cooperation for environmental security. It is a non-political, non-religious and non-governmental organization headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. We work holistically through the Green Cross International program pillars: I. Water for Life and Peace, II. Environmental Security and Sustainability, III. Social and Medical Care Health, IV. Smart Energy and Climate, V. Value Change, VI. Reforestation.
Our global mission is to respond to the combined challenges of security, poverty and environmental degradation to ensure a sustainable future.

MEET THE CAMPAIGN TEAM FOR GLOBAL GREEN COMMUNITY
The City of
New Orleans
THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS has experienced the Katrina hurricane first hand and seen the damages not only in material and financial losses, but how it has severely affected our people and created environmental injustice.
The City of New Orleans fully supports the Global Green Community initiative in support of the Lower 9th Ward.
We are not only getting the community back, we are getting a green community, which is the future of New Orleans. It is our hope this project to bring environmental justice will expand to other communities in need across the US.
