Green Politics Globally

Focusing on Two Existential Threats: Nuclear Weapons and Climate Change


The Cold War of the 20th Century shifted in the 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed and a "peace dividend" seemed possible. It was not to be, although a U.S. 1992 Presidential campaign made a peace dividend and nuclear weapons drawdown a centerpiece of the campaign.


Jerry Brown 92 Presidential Platform We the People.jpg

* https://greenpolicy360.net/w/File:Jerry_Brown_92_Presidential_Platform_We_the_People.jpg


Steven Schmidt/GreenPolicy360 Founder: In the early days of the Brown for President campaign I referred to our upstart campaign and the positions we put forward in our "We the People" platform as a chance for the Democratic Party to change direction, to seriously change direction... The 1992 campaign was, in my expressed opinion, a "fork in the road". It was the third time I worked on on Jerry's presidential effort ('76, '80, then '92). It would be the last time as my work with the Governor on a platform we called a "platform in progress" came up against intransigent politics-as-usual. I wrote about my meetings on behalf of the Brown campaign with the head of the Clinton campaign and the failure of the Democratic Party to accept the platform planks we put forward at the Democratic platform hearings, even as we finished a strong runner up in the primary campaign.

The foreign policy positions we put forward came amid unprecedented opportunity for a post Cold War realignment, as the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union gave way to a Russian Federation. The chance for cutbacks to nuclear arms and new treaties to advance mutual security in opposition to ever present nuclear weapons use and disaster was present and our campaign seized the moment. Look at the fork in the road, in the way we presented a serious, dramatic change in priorities. Look at how we moved spending from war time, and war time failures, to spending at home on infrastructure, investments, productivity, education, and opportunity economy. The moment was there to be taken, a road to choose, but it was not to be... Although the campaign won in a number of primary state votes, and the support for our campaign's positions and policies demonstrated wide support, the Democratic Party and Clinton campaign chose a path to push back and reject the main themes of Governor Jerry Brown's campaign.


🌎


After the 1992 US Presidential Campaign, the 'Peace Dividend' Opportunity Ended

History shows that the 1990s didn't deliver agreements with the new Russian Federation that would produce peaceful results


As GreenPolicy360's associate Strategic Demands has tracked, a new version of nuclear weapons escalation began and is now fully upon the world. Again, nuclear war has become a critical, existential political issue.


In a larger existential political context, with twin global threats to life posed by nuclear war and the rising threat of climate change, GreenPolicy360 renews a green politics of peace, environmental security, and a vision of global, national and local politics that brings shared "indivisible" security together with national and community security.

Green politics and our GreenPolicy360 network looks to new definitions of national and global security as a rising threat looms.

Green politics is contemplation, a 'vita contemplativa', then it's 'vita activa', planet citizen action that turn hope into a realization movement

Green politics is about hopeful vision, democratic participation, nonviolent action, and generational 'waves' of change

Join in, make a positive difference, ala Generation Green, being a planet citizen

Planet Citizen Action

Planet Citizen Vision of Living Earth


As environments change, we change, communities change in order to survive. 'Nature's strategy of survival is diversity' as it has been said by those who look ... and adaptation is a smart strategy to adopt when we face challenges that go beyond what is sometimes called 'quotidian', the day to day. When it comes to seeing the big picture, it's good to look out at an extended horizon -- a politics that concerns Quality of Life today and the well-being of future generations.

Today's human responsibility is to look to the future -- Earth is in our hands -- and politics, narrow or deep, will shape how our generation is judged today and in the future...

GreenPolicy360 speaks of a "politics of values" and "values-based politics". Ethics, eco-ethics, to preserve and protect a 'Living Earth' is at the forefront of green politics...

198 Methods of Nonviolent Action

Practitioners of nonviolent struggle have an entire arsenal of “nonviolent weapons” at their disposal. Listed below are 198 of them, classified into three broad categories: nonviolent protest and persuasion, noncooperation (social, economic, and political), and nonviolent intervention.

A description and historical examples of each can be found in volume two of The Politics of Nonviolent Action, by Gene Sharp

Green Political Parties International

Green parties are described often as politically "neither left nor right but out in front"

Green values on environmental, social justice and peace politics, and Green parties around the world are creating new and visionary ways to approach political issues and strive toward new definitions of environmental security...

Green parties are diverse in their political formations and are established and active in approximately 1/2 of the countries of the world...

Green Political Parties, Over 100 Globally

Green political parties are part of a much larger eco-, green-, forward-vision movement


In the US, a Green political party was formed in the 1990s, state by state then was taken over by a sectarian faction. The rise and collapse of Green party organizing in the US and the successful Green parties across nations of the world can be followed in the following links:

As I look back at the drafting of the U.S. Green Party's Key Values adopted formally as I presented them to the 2000 national Green Party Convention, along with the founding Green Party national platform, it remains for future greens, whether formally affiliated with the Green Party in the US or greens who share core values of Green parties to do their best in bringing the values and positions of green thought into reality.

The politics of the present era clearly demand the independent, future-oriented vision of green, environmentally focused 'planet citizens'...

The Founding US Green Party Platform Becomes a 'Common Ground' Model


SJS / GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: The formative U.S. Green Party, after the 1996 campaign, reached out to European Green parties and I worked via our new Platcom to draft a first-ever "Common Ground" document articulating core, shared U.S./European Green party values and positions. Following is what we presented as was approved and passed in Paris in 1999.


ASGP*/EFGP* GREEN COMMON GROUND STATEMENT

The Association of US State Green Parties* and European Federation of Green Parties Approve a First-Ever "Common Ground Platform"*

Presented by Steven Schmidt, US Green Platform Chairperson/Passed at the 2nd Congress of the European Federation of Green Parties - February 1999

US-EUROPEAN GREEN PARTIES 'COMMON GROUND PLATFORM' TEXT


INTRODUCTION

The evolving relationship of the U.S. Greens and European Federation of Green Parties is cause for great optimism. The partnership of the Association of U.S. Green Parties (ASGP) and Committee of the European Federation (EFGP) is in its initial formative stages. As we continue to grow in strength and numbers, we submit that the future of political thought will look to our Green ideas and values as a foundation for political action.

Our responsibility is to challenge conventional wisdom and create a climate of political change. As humankind approaches the beginning of a new millennium, Greens globally will continue to press for comprehensive expansion of rights, for social justice, peace and the protection of our common heritage and environment.

At this historic moment, with vision and purpose, we advance our first mutual platform document - a U.S./European "Green Common Ground Statement".


________________________


HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS

We believe that the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.

We recognize that clean air, clean water, fertile soil, diverse plant and animal life, and the ability to derive a living from the bounty of the earth is a birthright of all living beings.

We believe that all people have a right to food, housing, education, medical care, a living wage job and support in times of hardship.

We oppose all forms of discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, age, or sexual orientation. We support the rights of all individuals, regardless of ability, to strive for personal fulfillment and to live with dignity.

We support civil liberties that are the basis of individual freedom: freedom of speech and information; the right to peaceful assembly; freedom of religion; the right to vote in democratic elections; the right to fair public trial and open, humane and accountable legal processes.

We support a woman's right to full reproductive choice.

We support the right to asylum and refugee status.

We condemn the use of torture and the death penalty.

We condemn child labor and the oppression of women through forced prostitution and sterilization.


PEACE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

We believe the ever-growing expansion of unregulated, inappropriate-scale profit-making interests, the limits of the resource base that these interests are trying to control, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction pose a dire and imminent threat to world peace. As technology and commerce increase the depth and complexity of global relations, individual nations need to work together to develop multi-national responses to global issues that spring from shared values of peace, justice, community, democracy and ecological sustainability.

We call for international relations that favor cooperation and support over competition and exploitation. We believe that, as a matter of principle, considered diplomacy should always be favored over recourse to military intervention and violence.

We support the formation of international alliances and non-governmental organizations to work to find peaceful and sustainable solutions to the global problems of war, environmental degradation, oppression and poverty.

We support immediate decommissioning of all nuclear weapons production facilities, date-specific destruction of all nuclear weapons, and the signing of oversight treaties calling for drawing down of nuclear stockpiles.

We call for a ban on the development, production, sale and use of land mines, chemical and biological weapons, and other weapons that bring indiscriminate destruction to civilians and the environment.

We oppose the use of economic sanctions which bring suffering and death to innocent civilians.


THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

We call for benchmark social and environmental standards to be goals at all levels of economic decision-making -- local, national, and international.

We support the right of local governments to set higher social and environmental standards than those set by international trade organizations and treaties.

We support the right of workers to form collective bargaining units; the right to a fair living wage; and right to safe, healthy working conditions.

We reject agreements that negotiate downward our basic environmental, human rights, health, safety and labor standards, and prohibitions against child and forced labor.

We reject trade agreements negotiated in secret and/or unduly influenced by mega-corporate interests such as the Multilateral Agreement on Investments (MAI), the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Treaties such as these are threats to local autonomy, and limit the participation of citizens in decisions affecting the economic and environmental health of their communities. Increased mobility of capital and commodities is being coupled with decreased mobility of people. National and local authorities are losing power to an international "empire of wealth". We call for a vigorous international campaign for economic democracy -- political change that supports environmentally and socially sustainable economic systems.

It is our belief that the massive debt owed by the Third World is causing immense misery and environmental destruction. Foreign aid must be addressed in the context of retiring this debt and in this regard "structural adjustments" must not be forced on the economies of the underdeveloped world via the International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization and World Bank.

We demand that international loans be conditional on human and labor rights records, social and environmental impact statements, and the providing of basic health and education.

We believe in the right of self-determination of indigenous peoples. We recognize the essential importance of balancing economic development in the Third World with a respect for traditional culture and economies.

On the national, state and local levels, we call for a diverse economic system that is based on a combination of private businesses, decentralized democratic cooperatives, publicly owned enterprises, and alternative economic structures -- all of which put human and ecological needs alongside profits to measure success, and are accountable to the communities in which they function.

We advocate the use of "true cost pricing", which reflects the total cost of production based on its impact on the ecosystem.


ENERGY AND GLOBAL WARMING

Climate change is accelerating. The greenhouse effect is increasingly evident. The succession of record-breaking heat waves since 1980 and the increasing frequency of severe weather phenomena across the globe are strong indications that climatic disruption is already upon us. There is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now.

Greenhouse gases and the threat of global warming must be addressed by the international community in concert, through international treaties and conventions, with the industrial nations at the forefront of this effort.

The truly global agreement required to deal with global warming can be achieved only if based on genuine equity. A policy based on per capita emissions, with countries agreeing on a global limit and converging to meet that limit on a per capita basis, would allow developing countries to continue their necessary development while encouraging the use of clean technology. The industrialized world must cut emissions to realistically necessary levels.

The Greens propose a shift to renewable and sustainable energy production, together with industrial and domestic energy efficiency. One important instrument to reach this goal is a progressive tax on pollution and on resource use, particularly fossil fuels, and incentives for safe energy in industrial as well as private use.

We support the development of decentralized, non-polluting renewable energy technologies and the funding of energy research for alternative and sustainable energy use such as solar, wind and biomass.

We encourage the creation and design of energy-efficient human environments.


ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

The Greens call for a new definition of wealth that includes clean air, clean water, and diverse habitats as indicators of ecological and economic health.

We call for immediate decommissioning of all nuclear power plants without passing the cost on to ratepayers. We support permanent above-ground, locally based storage sites for nuclear waste to minimize the hazards of waste transport.

We call for the conversion of the chemical industry to biologically degradable substances, and the use of hazardous chemicals only in zero-emission pollution constructions.

We support a radical reduction in the volume of road transport and a shift to an integrated system of alternative forms of transport including energy-efficient public transportation, pedestrian friendly community design, bikeways, and rail and water shipping for industry.

We call for a halt to all current international funding policies that promote destruction of forest ecosystems and we call for an end to the trade in endangered hardwoods.

The Greens have long championed the development of organic farming to replace costly and unsustainable industrial production of foodstuffs using dangerous pesticides and fertilizers.

We call for a moratorium on the genetic manipulation of crops and animals used for foodstuffs; the strict labeling of products containing genetically modified organisms; and a ban on patenting forms of life.

We support legislative and land use policies that preserve and restore biodiversity (genetic, population, species, ecosystems) at the local, national and global levels.

We support the protection of endangered plant and animal species.

We oppose shipping of toxic/hazardous or radioactive wastes across national or political borders without regulation.

We believe that the mark of a humane and civilized society lies in how we treat the least protected among us. To extend rights to other sentient, living beings is our responsibility and a mark of our place among all of creation. We find cruelty to animals to be repugnant and criminal. We call for an intelligent, compassionate approach to the treatment of animals.

Far Beyond Green Party Politics, Green Politics Carries the Message

The green message goes well beyond political parties and, at its best moments, touches all of our lives. A authentic green politics is connected and makes connections across political parties. Green activism connects through a tapestry of political groups, coalitions, organizations and political actions. Going green is everyday politics, individual and global.

Fact Checking


Fact Checking, Facts Count


At GreenPolicy360 we continue to advocate for science and facts. Fact checking and fact finding increasingly have grown in importance as social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc) can exponentially multiply falsehoods and untruths.

In the era of the Internet, politics is taking on new powers to reach, engage, interact with, convert and motivate targeted audiences with calls to action.

Fact checking is essential in a fast changing and evolving Internet ....

Facts are essential for a functional, credible democratic government ....


Washington Post

By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.


Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims as president. Nearly half came in his final year.
