context_page_description: The Global Greens is an international network of political parties and movements which work to implement the Global Greens Charter. It consists of various national Green political parties, partner networks, and other organizations associated with green politics.
  Formed in 2001 at the First Global Greens Congress, the network has grown to include 80 full member parties and 18 observers and associate parties as of February 2019. It is governed by a 12-member steering committee called the Global Greens Coordination, and each member party falls under the umbrella of one of four affiliated regional green federations. The day-to-day operations of the Global Greens are managed by the Secretariat, led by Global Greens Convenor Keli Yen since 2015.
context_section_description: The Global Greens have five networks designed to enable global collaboration, communication and community among member parties and organizations:
  Friends of Global Greens
  This network is composed of Green parties, parliamentarians and activists who make recurring donations of any amount to the Global Greens.
  Global Greens LGBT+ Network
  This network aims to:
  "Support LGBT+ groups within Green Parties around the world to work together and support each other;
  Support Green Parties looking to set-up LGBT+ groups, and;
  Promote LGBT+ equality as outlined in the Global Greens Charter."
  Global Greens Parliamentarians Network
  This network is composed of Green Members of Parliament from Global Greens member parties and works to fulfill the following objectives:
  "To be active, in a coordinated manner, in our parliaments on issues of identified global concern, in order to influence the governments of our countries, and the public whom we represent, to the goals specifically identified by the Global Greens;
  To develop a mutually-reinforcing and mutually-supportive network of MPs, as individuals, to help us each to become most effective in our parliamentary action, and realise our potential as movers of positive global change, and;
  To achieve positive change for Green goals at the global and regional levels through the strengthening of international institutions, including more parliamentarian representation and decision-making influence in those bodies."
  Global Greens Women's Network
  This network supports the participation of Green women worldwide in democratic political processes, by focusing on:
  "Capacity building and empowerment: training and developing skills, such as public speaking and leadership;
  Governance and participation: confronting inequalities at the organizational level and exchanging best practices to tackle them and promote participation;
  Campaigning about major topics relevant to women: such as gender justice and climate change, and;
  Carrying out formal functions as part of global Greens governance: e.g. nominating women to the Asia-Pacific Greens Federation (APGF) Council."
  Global Young Greens
  This network is a "youth-led organization supporting and uniting the efforts of young people from a green-alternative spectrum around the world. It works towards (1) ecological sustainability, (2) social justice, (3) grassroots democracy and (4) peace."
