To facilitate overcoming consequential damages caused by industrial and military disasters and the clean-up of contaminated sites from the period of the Cold War.

Green Cross Switzerland facilitates overcoming consequential damages caused by industrial and military disasters and the clean-up of contaminated sites from the period of the Cold War. Central issues are the improvement of the living quality of people affected by chemical, radioactive and other types of contamination, as well as the promotion of a sustainable development in the spirit of co-operation instead of confrontation. We facilitate the disarmament of chemical and conventional weapons through the operation of public outreach and information offices, mediation and confidence-building measures. The consequences of the military use of nuclear materials on the environment and health are examined. Pilot projects exemplify possibilities for the clean-up and conversion of military bases. We implement medical and social projects for children, young people and mothers. Therapy camps as well as training and nutrition programmes contribute towards improving the living situation of the population in contaminated areas.
