The global challenge of eliminating and cleaning up Cold War weapons requires a response that is global in scope.
The Legacy Program is an international effort by Global Green USA, the US affiliate of Green Cross International, and Green Cross affiliates in Belarus, Canada, Germany, Italy, Russia, Switzerland and the Ukraine. Operating on the principle of “cooperation, not confrontation,” the Legacy Program facilitates the complex process of demilitarization through education, outreach and dialogue across local, state and national borders.
The Legacy Program maintains a strong commitment to transparency, accountability, and communication as the foundation for successful threat reduction and engages all parties, from high-level policymakers to experts to local communities, in the search for the safest and most responsible road to peace.
Specifically, the Legacy Program implements public outreach and education programs on issues related to demilitarization, threat reduction and nonproliferation, including military base cleanup and conversion, emergency-preparedness, protection of public health and environment, and the socio-economic stability of communities impacted by weapons stockpiles.
