History and Accomplishments
In 1993, Mikhail Gorbachev devoted his attention to what he rightly foresaw as the greatest challenge to the 21st century, the environment, through Green Cross international (GCI). In 1993, Global Green USA (GG USA) was created by activist and philanthropist Diane Meyer Simon after President Mikhail S. Gorbachev invited her to join his global environmental movement, Green Cross International (GCI). Global Green is the only national environmental group headquartered in the Los Angeles area.

Today, GCI has 26 affiliate countries with several more in early stages of development. Global Green USA is the only national environmental organization headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Washington DC and San Francisco.
