Save the Date! For the first time ever, the Global Greens and the European Green Party will hold their congresses together!

Join us for this unique event in Liverpool, UK, from 30 March to 02 April 2017.

Let us know your ideas, perspectives and how you want to be part of making this congress extraordinary by sending us your input on this form . Stay tuned for future updates including the upcoming event page with the program and registration.

We end 2015 optimistically! At long last there is momentum towards climate justice coming from COP21 in Paris. Paris was a perfect opportunity for Greens from all over the world to meet and exchange ideas on the sidelines and for the inaugural meeting of the Global Greens Parliamentarians Association. In 2016 let's continue to expand and strengthen our global political movement through networking, fundraising and collaboration on campaigns and issues. In January we will have information about the 2017 Congress; we hope lots of you will be there either in person or connected via the internet. T hank you to everyone who has contributed to the Global Greens in 2015; we look forward to connecting with you in 2016 somewhere around the Green world.

World leaders are going to Paris on 30 November. So are the Greens. We will be in the global climate marches on the weekend of 27 to 29 November, and we will be at COP21 in Paris. Whatever the outcome in Paris, this is just the beginning. Join an action near you and make your voice heard before, during, and after COP21. Looking forward to the future, there's one date you need to save: in March-April 2017 the Global Greens and European Greens will hold a combined Congress in Liverpool, UK! This will be the fourth Global Greens Congress and the first in Europe. In this climate themed November Global Greens newsletter, read more news from each Federation.

The next steps in the Greek crisis are unclear. What is clear is that the Greek people yesterday overwhelmingly voted against austerity and for democracy. Read the background in this Global Greens News. There are also reports on the Asia Pacific Greens Congress held three weeks ago in New Zealand, news of court challenges by the Rwandan Greens and the US Greens, and election success in Spain.

In this Global Greens News we're branching out to bring perspectives on global trade deals -- the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) -- starting with what lies behind this new rush to negotiate agreements (It's democracy stupid!). Greens globally are opposing these deals; some of the reasons are outlined in articles from the Japan, New Zealand, the US and Europe.

In election watch -- vote Green in the UK this Thursday and read about the Finnish Greens' successful result in their April election. And, are you are interested in working for the Global Greens? - applications for the position of Global Greens Coordinator close on Monday 11 May.

GG News in March 2015 includes a Global Greens statement for International Women's Day: Empower women. Empower humanity, the Lima Declaration by the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas and an invitation to the Asia Pacific Greens Congress in New Zealand in June. Also news and views from the Green world - Niger to Pakistan, Netherlands to Mexico - and links for elections coming up in Finland and the UK. Register to vote if you're eligible.

Our last Global Greens News for 2014, but first for 2015, comes soon after the disappointing - though not entirely disastrous - COP20 climate conference in Lima Peru; read the Greens' verdict below. There is also a link to the Global Greens statement condemning the Taliban's barbaric slaughter of the children in Peshawar. Plus - an interview with outgoing EGP Secretary-General Jacqueline Cremers, other news from the Green world and a look back at the year by Global Greens Convener Margaret Blakers.

Next year we plan to produce Global Greens News bi-monthly focusing on news by and about Greens. We welcome your suggestions for subjects and writers (send them to [email protected] ). Happy reading and best wishes to everyone for a Green 2015.

What a time! September saw the huge #PeoplesClimate mobilisations around the world change the story on climate change: people are standing up and fighting. 2646 events from 162 countries, including the biggest-ever climate marches in New York, Paris and plenty more places besides. You can see photos from Greens around the world here.

Just this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns again of 'severe, pervasive and irreversible effects on people and ecosystems' if climate change goes unchecked. The future can be brighter, but we need political will.

In other news, the Swedish Greens have entered government with 'a radical environmental agenda' (great!), the Australians are out campaigning for the climate in the lead up to the G20 meeting, and Greens from Togo to Florida are tackling dangerous waste. Greens have also contested elections in Brazil, New Zealand, Bolivia and Canada.

The Global Greens call for:

1. Phase out government support for fossil fuels

2. Stop deforestation and degradation of natural forests and other natural ecosystems

3. Energy and equity for all through shifting to 100% renewable energy so as to lift people out of energy poverty and to end nuclear power

4. Meet climate finance pledges urgently with new additional grants not loans

5. Provide locally appropriate adaptation measures through Green Economy policies to enable the systemic changes needed for a sustainable, resilient and prosperous society

6. Commit to a binding global post-2020 agreement in Paris in 2015 with targets based on science and consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.

C'est avec une grande stupéfaction et une profonde indignation que les responsables de la Fédération des Verts d'Afrique (FeVA), ont vu à travers les médias, des images choquantes et insoutenables des actes d'esclavagisme en Libye. Ces images mettent en exergue une vente aux enchères de ressortissants africains originaires des pays membres de la CEDEAO vendus comme du bétail par des nationaux Libyens. Un trafic d'être humain, ignoble et digne d'une époque révolue. Qualifiés de crime contre l'...

S'il est vrai que la vocation de tous les partis politiques légalement constitués est la conquête du pouvoir, les partis écologistes de l'Afrique de l'Ouest tiennent à rappeler que leur objectif premier reste l'émergence d'une conscience écologique dans chacun de nos pays. Pour se faire, les écologistes se disent prêts à collaborer avec les autres partis dans le respect des convictions des uns et des autres, à nouer des alliances à tous les niveaux pour concrétiser le caractère transversal de...

"Le combat pour la réhabilitation de la Ceinture verte de Niamey a toujours été l'une de nos priorités", disait M. Adamou Garba, Président du parti Rassemblement pour un Sahel Vert (RSV-NI'IMA). Nous pensons qu'il fallait vaille que vaille essayer de sauver ce patrimoine national pour son rôle essentiel dans la régulation du climat de la capitale.
