Global Green is an environmental nonprofit organization working to address some of the greatest challenges facing humanity, with a focus on climate change. In the United States, our work is primarily focused on stemming global climate change by creating green buildings and cities. Founded in 1994 by activist and philanthropist Diane Meyer Simon, Global Green is the American Arm of Green Cross International (GCI), which was created by President Mikhail S. Gorbachev to foster a global value shift toward a sustainable and secure future by reconnecting humanity with the environment.
