The infrastructure and dissemenation of Information Communication Technology can have a profound affect on how to worlds’ poor learn about the science of sustainability, engage in ecological restoration, produce permaculture communities and engage in the green/fair trade economy.

GCI is developing a strategic plan around Sustainable ICT in it’s role of informing, training, educating, connecting and entertaining the global population in their own native languages.

Our first project is the EcoStrata Database Project which is being developed in cooperation with the International Free and Open Source Software Foundation.

Green Cities Institute (GCI) will organize Eco Strata Database which introduces a multi-language accessible digital dashboard connecting biogeophysical databases around the world.

  2. Repurpose the knowledge base for curricula, media and live education opportunities in partnership with leading local and global organizations by syndication, license and alliance building
  3. Develop new the ICMT (Information Communication & Media Technology) to deliver sustainability training based on Web 3.0 methods (virtual and live experience integration) leveraging a financially viable business strategy.
