O plano de ação do C4G foca-se na integração através de disciplinas e instituições, construindo uma relação próspera na comunidade C4G e com os seus stakeholders e na criação de uma cultura de prestação de serviço. Para este fim, a Comunidade ativa do C4G está estruturada em Grupos de Trabalho (GTs) e em Linhas de Ação (LAs), sendo que os GTs funcionam como agentes pilares de toda a estrutura uma vez que são estes que geram e consequentemente partilham dados e equipamento científico. Transversalmente, as LAs integram os vários GTs no sentido de prestarem serviços mais abrangentes e societais e assim garantir uma melhor resolução de questões complexas em Ciências da Terra Sólida.
