Global Green Legacy Forum | Green Cross National Dialogue Forum

To foster dialogue on weapons of mass destruction, nonproliferation, and threat reduction issues, Global Green USA and its Green Cross affiliates bring together U.S. and foreign military and government officials, experts and private citizens in a variety of formats, from high-level meetings between senior policymakers to expert seminars to public forums. Known as “Track II” or backchannel diplomacy, these initiatives complement official government channels and are essential to real progress.

The Global Green Legacy Forum, created in 1994, was designed to facilitate dialogue on key military-environmental issues and encourage networking at the local, regional, national, and international levels. Recent Legacy Forums have taken place on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and spotlighted chemical weapons and threat reduction challenges. Congressional Members and staff, senior U.S. and foreign officials, leading experts on weapons of mass destruction, and citizens from weapons stockpile communities have all taken part in these open discussions.

The Green Cross National Dialogue Forum on chemical weapons destruction in Russia is held annually in Moscow around the November 5 anniversary of the Russian Duma’s ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1997. The forum brings together citizen and elected representatives of chemical weapons stockpile regions, federal agencies responsible for chemical weapons destruction, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, countries providing assistance to Russian chemical weapons destruction, Russian and foreign non-governmental organizations, academia, and mass media.
