Does your community want greener, more cohesive, and more vibrant neighborhoods?
Is your community interested in increasing resilience in the face of extreme weather events?
Are there significant projects on the horizon that your community wants to make sustainable?
The Global Green Resilient Neighborhood Initiative is bringing technical assistance to disadvantaged communities in four (4) cities this year to improve their resilience to the impacts of climate change, and support local capacity building for climate mitigation. The project is co-led by participating community groups and/or city agencies. Global Green takes a community-based approach to neighborhood planning, aimed at educating and empowering local residents on how to take action to help their communities adapt and respond to local climate change impacts.
Here's more on the program:

Mission Statement
Global Green USA is the American affiliate of Green Cross International. For 25 years, Global Green USA has been a national leader in advancing smart solutions to climate change that improve lives and protect our planet. 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 and we help people reduce waste, live better, and act more sustainably today--and in the future.
Description
Global Green has influenced more than $20 billion dollars worth of building construction by encouraging the integration of green building and sustainability practices, and we’ve educated millions of people about climate-friendly solutions through our five annual events, including the green event of the year, our Pre-Oscar Party. Our impact has been felt across the country, particularly in areas affected by disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans where we led green rebuilding efforts and continue to provide assistance and resources to local residents.
