Green politics – political ideology that aims for the creation of an ecologically sustainable society rooted in environmentalism, social liberalism, and grassroots democracy.[1] It began taking shape in the western world in the 1970s; since then Green parties have developed and established themselves in many countries across the globe, and have achieved some electoral success.

Policy issues
A few issues affect most of the green parties around the world, and can often inhibit global cooperation. Some affect structure, and others affect policy:
- Anti-nuclear
- Bioregionalism
- Biosafety
- Biosecurity
- Electoral reform
- Fundamentalism vs. Realism
- Greenwashing
- Indigenous peoples
- Land reform
- Natural capitalism
- Primate extinction
- Prometheanism
- Rainforest destruction
- Safe trade
On matters of ecology, extinction, biosafety, biosecurity, safe trade and health security, "Greens" generally agree. There are very substantial policy differences between and among Green Parties in various countries and cultures, and a continuing debate about the degree to which natural ecology and human needs align. Agreement on particular issues is often reached using a consensus decision making process.
