Green Party

The Swiss Green Party, known in Switzerland as Grüne Partei der Schweiz (GPS) in German, Parti écologiste suisse in French, and Partito ecologista svizzero in Italian, is a political party that emphasizes environmental protection, sustainability,…   and social justice. Founded in the early 1980s, the party emerged from the growing environmental movement and public concern over nuclear energy, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources. The Swiss Green Party advocates for policies that aim to address climate change, promote renewable energy sources, and conserve natural habitats and biodiversity.<br /><br />The values of the Swiss Green Party are deeply rooted in ecological principles, advocating for a society that lives within the planet's ecological limits. They believe in reducing the environmental impact of human activities, transitioning to a sustainable economy that prioritizes renewable over fossil fuels, and ensuring that economic development does not come at the expense of the environment. The party also champions social justice, arguing for fair distribution of resources, equal opportunities, and policies that support marginalized and disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, the Greens advocate for a participatory democracy, where citizens have a direct say in decision-making processes, especially on issues that affect the environment and their communities.<br /><br />In addition to environmental and social issues, the Swiss Green Party supports a foreign policy based on peace, human rights, and global justice. They argue for Switzerland to play an active role in international efforts to tackle climate change, protect human rights, and promote peace and stability. The party's commitment to these values reflects a holistic approach to politics, where environmental sustainability, social equity, and democratic participation are seen as interconnected and essential for a just and sustainable future.Lue lisää
