The Green Institute is a forum
for education, exchange, research
and debate about green ideas.
It is founded on the principles of environment, social justice, nonviolence and democracy and aims to promote these ideals through training, networking, research and policy development. It acknowledges that progress towards this comprehensive concept of sustainability depends on awareness and action at every level from local to global. Accordingly, it aims to help build the capacity of like-minded individuals, community groups, political movements and parties, focusing particularly in Australia and across Asia and the Pacific.
The Green Institute Inc is a non-profit organisation, based in Australia, formally established in October 2008. Board members are: Roland Browne, Bob Hale, Elissa Jenkins, Sue Lewis, Nikki Mortier, Chris Tucker, Chris Twomey. Director: Margaret Blakers.
