Urgency for a transformative future
The world is changing and becoming more insecure for our future generations yet to arrive, our current generation, and our generations before us, and the ancestors that we pay homage to. We need a transformative theory of change, we need it now! Greens is the best alternative to invest in for your respective peoples!
APGF’s vision is the full enactment of the Global Greens Charter. It is a unique and inspiring document which sets out our core values of ecological wisdom, social justice, equality, freedom, participatory democracy, non-violence, sustainability and respect for diversity.
Background of Charter
The Global Greens Charter was adopted by consensus at the 1st Global Greens Congress in Canberra in 2001. The core of the document sets out the principles that bind together Greens from around the world: ecological wisdom, social justice, participatory democracy, nonviolence, sustainability and respect for diversity. The second section is a ‘political action’ plan covering some of the most pressing problems facing the world. This section was reviewed and updated at the 3rd Global Greens Congress in Dakar, Senegal in 2012.
The Charter is the foundational Greens’ document. It draws upon the charters and constitutions of Green parties around the world, as well as some ideas from the Earth Charter and from the 1st Planetary Gathering of Greens at Rio in 1992. Over two years in the making, the original 2001 version went through numerous revisions as comments and amendments were incorporated. In Canberra, hundreds more amendments were proposed. Debates and negotiations culminated on the final afternoon of the Congress in a riveting session where contentious clauses were decided one by one on the floor. The finished Charter was adopted by acclamation, a truly momentous accomplishment.
