Ecological problems are becoming more and more urgent every day. The ecological situation in the world leaves much to be desired. The future of the planet is in the hands of mankind, therefore, in order to somehow improve the situation, special organizations are being created to protect the environment. One such organization is Green Cross International. Its tasks include monitoring the ecological state of the planet, preventing disasters. How long has the Green Cross existed in Russia and what does it do, we will consider in this article.
A bit of history
The idea to create an organization similar to the International Red Cross came to the mind of Soviet President Gorbachev in 1990.
He brought it up for public discussion. Topics on ecology and its protection were clear to the majority, so the idea resonated. And so the organization was born. It was established in Kyoto. A number of different countries joined in the following yearsInternational Green Cross.
Goals and directions of the organization
Like any other organization, the Green Cross International has its work direction and purpose, otherwise the activity of the organization would be simply useless. Several goals can be singled out at once, but the main goal is one - this is a safe future for the planet. This can also include education and education in a person of a sense of responsibility for the environment in which he lives.
Several directions of the organization stand out at once. Firstly, this includes the resolution of conflicts that have arisen because of the deterioration of the environmental situation. Secondly, assistance to people who have suffered from environmental consequences due to conflicts. Well, the third direction of their work is the creation of those norms that would motivate humanity to activities whose conditions ensure a safe and sustainable future for our planet. Both the purpose and directions of the organization of the International Green Cross seem to be clear. However, this activity is presented as a mission. It does not lead to an end result. You can do something for the planet indefinitely, but the ecological situation will never be perfect. But our task is to prevent the situation from worsening and to somehow correct and maintain it. Green Cross International is doing just that. So, how does the organization operate today and what are its challenges?
Green Cross Contemporary Work
The main activity of the Green Cross International is aimed at protectingenvironment, its conservation and available resources. There are a lot of problems put forward by the organization at the moment. Among them is the development of methods to involve people in the work of environmental protection. There are more than 20 organizations in Russia that are members of the International Green Cross. Among other numerous activities, the work of the organization includes the development of such important projects as "Prevention of the negative impact of the arms race", "Medical support to the population", "Clean Water" and many others. In addition to the Russian Federation, this global organization includes 28 more countries, including Germany, France, Argentina, the USA, Italy, Brazil and many others.
The main principle to which the International Green Cross is subject is the cooperation of public initiatives in order to resolve global problems, the main of which are the problems of resources, ecology and world conflicts. Today, the chairman of the Green Cross is Baranovsky Sergey Igorevich. During the existence of the organization, it was based on a huge number of world famous figures. Some of them have left, while others continue to work for the good of the planet.
