Global Greens Charter - Definition and Overview

The Global Greens Charter is a document that 800 delegates from the Green parties of 70 countries decided upon a first gathering of the Global Greens in Canberra, Australia in April 2001.

The signatory parties and political movements of the Global Greens Charter commit themselves to global partnership and to six guiding principles. These principles are:

• Ecological Wisdom
• Social Justice
• Participatory Democracy
• Nonviolence
• Sustainability
• Respect for Diversity

The charter document describes these principles and proposes ten key fields of political action following from the principles.
