LEADING THROUGH ACTION

Green VI is a BVI not-for-profit organisation established in 2009 to further the greater good and combat Climate Change through environmental improvements.

VISION

A green, clean, healthy BVI that demonstrates a viable balance between the conservation of natural resources & development.

MISSION

To demonstrate, facilitate and catalyse resilient, environmentally friendly systems through practical projects, education and innovation, with focus on waste, energy, food and water.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Charlotte McDevitt, Executive Director, came to the BVI in 2006 with her husband and young son, having lived “down island” for two years. She arrived with broad experience in reducing waste, litter and illegal dumping from her work with the Waste Management Department in Cape Town, South Africa, and earned a Master’s Degree based on her study of BVI waste reduction and resource management. Since founding Green VI in 2009, Charlotte has devoted her expertise to establishing best practices in BVI waste/materials management and building a model system that other small-island states can adopt. Guided by her belief that people can learn to care more, consume less and actively help mitigate the very real impacts of climate change. Pursuing her PhD, Charlotte remains steadfast in her commitment to building collaborative resilience.
