Vision

The Dutch branch of Green Cross International, to be called Green Cross Nederland, aims to raise awareness on the overlap between sustainable development and security in the Netherlands and worldwide.

Taking the holistic message of the Earth Charter as point of reference, Green Cross Nederland aims to provide tools for the betterment of the living environment, to combat poverty and to improve the standards of safety and peace worldwide, recognized as the challenges of humankind in the 21st century.

Initially Green Cross Nederland shall target Energy, Water, Legacy (the effects of armament for human life and the environment) and Climate.

Mission

By the end of 2006 Floor van der Wateren, Bastiaan Prak and Mark Lambregts have taken up the initiative to restart, rejuvenate and relive Green Cross Nederland. In close cooperation with Green Cross International, Green Cross Schweiz and Global Green USA , Green Cross Nederland aspires to develop into a solid organization based on donorship, subsidies and direct funds from partners.  

Green Cross Nederland will gather an informal but influential group of well-known Dutch, public officials, academics and entrepreneurs that work together with and supervise a paid secretariat to tackle the programs of Energy, Water, Legacy and Climate. Based on the principles of self-development, the Millennium Goals and the Earth Charter we will be able to form an alliance with strong partners that will make a difference.
