The Global Greens Charter is a document that 800 delegates from the Green parties of 72 countries decided upon a first gathering of the Global Greens in Canberra, Australia in April 2001.[1] The first part contains six guiding principles, whereas the second part specifies what political action should be taken. The second part of the charter was modified in Dakar, Senegal in 2012 at the third Global Greens Congress.[2]
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 builds on earlier Greens statements including in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit,[2] the Millennium Declaration made at Oaxaca in 1999 and the Accord between the Green Parties of the Americas and the Ecologist Parties of Africa.
