GENEVA, CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
FOR LASTING DEVELOPMENT

pictureThe spirit of the Red Cross has inspired others : in June 1993 the headquarters of the International Green Cross (IGC) was inaugurated in the Geneva suburb of Conches, with the aim of promoting the wellbeing of peoples and protection of the environment based on the long-term outlook and on lasting development. Nature in all its varied and fruitful aspects is a permanent concern in Geneva, which is also proud to host the European Office of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and several essential secretariats dealing with toxic substances and circulation of waste materials, and the safeguarding of wild fauna and flora. And as regards cooperation, while the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is the most important organization located in Geneva, the United Nations Social Development Research Institute (UNSDRI) and the Panafrican Development Institute are pursuing the same aims.
