GAIA is a global nonprofit network of grassroots groups, non-governmental organizations, and individuals focused on preventing pollution and unsafe disposal methods linked to production. It envisions a just, zero-waste world that respects ecological limits and community rights, with resources conserved rather than burned or dumped. The organization is based in Berkeley, California, and operates as a mid-sized nonprofit with worldwide reach. GAIA connects partners to share best practices, advocate for safer, more sustainable waste management, and oppose incineration and toxic pollution. Its activities include international collaborations and education initiatives, such as the Zero Waste Academy in the Asia Pacific region and governance work around events like COP29 side discussions on waste methane reduction and just transition.
