The Cordillera Green Network, Inc. (CGN) is an environmental Non-Government Organization (NGO) based in Baguio City, Philippines.

Since 2001, CGN has been working with the indigenous people in the Cordillera Administrative Region to transform their communities into models of sustainable resource management.

CGN helps preserve the environment as well as helping improve the lives of people.

The word "Cordillera" in the organization's name refers to the mountain ranges in the northern part of Luzon island. Various indigenous people live in the Cordillera Region, most of which live at high altitudes of nearly 2,000 meters. Its rugged terrain makes this area one of the least developed in the Philippines. But the people in the Cordillera preserved their unique culture with rituals honoring nature spirits.

However, in recent decades, a wave of the global economy has pushed people to modify some of their traditional ways. It resulted in environmental degradation brought about by deforestation and mismanagement of the natural resouces. Indigenous people's lifestyle is gradually changing. CGN addresses these problems to preserve and protect the environment while providing alternative livelihoods for the people.

• to promote a clean and green environment
• to promote sustainable farming
• to create income-generating activities to alleviate the economic condition of the Indigenous people
• to help mold future leaders for the preservation of mother earth 
• to help preserve the cultural tradition of the Cordillera people
• to help install renewable energy systems (biogas, micro hydropower plant, etc.)
• to promote local and international linkages

CGN was established in September 2001 to help address the pervading environmental and socioeconomic problems in the Cordillera region. It is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a non-stock, non-profit, and non-government organization (NGO) and is based in Baguio City, Philippines.

CGN was founded by Mariko Sorimachi, a Japanese resident of Baguio City and a group of indigenous people passionate about environmental conservation.

CGN has engaged in community-based, environmentally friendly development and education for over two decades. Its advocacies are realized and sustained primarily through linkages, partnerships, and fund grants and donations from generous individuals and organizations. 

As of 2024, Aida Pagtan was appointed president. The staff and volunteers consist mainly of indigenous foresters and other professionals. CGN collaborates with environmental educators, academic researchers, freelance artists, writers, and environmental activists.
