Morphology
The meaning of 'global organization' is directly compositional: 'global' (pertaining to all countries/regions) modifies 'organization' (a collective with a shared purpose), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer an organization operating worldwide. This modifier+noun pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English composition rules, making the phrase transparent.
Etymology
Global organization comes from the simple idea that global means the whole world and an organization is a group that works together, so imagine people from many countries working as one team. So, it now means 'a group made of people or countries from many places that work together on world problems'.
