Who We Are
Green Convergence for Safe Food, Healthy Environment, and Sustainable Economy
GC is a broad coalition of environmental advocates, guided by our Principles of Unity, collaborating critically with and influencing government, civil society, churches, and business by providing a platform for knowledge sharing for awareness raising and enabling national transformation towards ecological development.
It began with environmentalists drawn together by related interests and advocacies, forming an alliance to hold a yearly State of Nature Assessment (Green SONA) that began in 2007. The group decided to formally incorporate and register its coalition with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2011.
