Mikhail Gorbachev founded Green Cross International (GCI) in 1993, as prompted by the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio
de Janeiro and Agenda 21. GCI is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland; the 21 GCI affiliates are located in
Argentina, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy,
Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United
States, and Venezuela. The mission of GCI is to create a sustainable future by cultivating harmonious relationships
between humans and the environment. GCI concentrates its efforts on five main programs to promote a significant
change in human values toward greater respect for Earth's community of life in all its diversity. The programs,
stemming from the initiatives of 21 National Organizations, seek to combine global thinking and local action through
the vehicle of international programs tailored to local needs.
