 Worldwide green parties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Parties are part of, but do not exclusively represent, a larger political movement to reform human governance to better fit the constraints of the biosphere — usually called the Green movement to contrast it from the electoral participation of the legally-registered Parties.
Many people also confuse Green Parties with Greenpeace, a global NGO prominent in the ecology movement, which like the Green political movement was founded in the 1970s, and shares some green goals and values, but works with different methods and is not organized as a political party.
Green Parties are often formed in a given jurisdiction by a coalition of scientific ecologists, community environmentalists, and local (or national) leftist groups or groups concerned with peace or citizens rights.

 Green Party of Canada - dKosopedia
In February 2004, the Green Party of Canada Living Platform was initiated by the Party's former Head of Platform and Research, Michael Pilling, to open the party's participatory democracy to the public to help validate its policies against broad public input.
Still, the party was somewhat embarrassed in 2004 to find Greenpeace and the Sierra Club of Canada ranking its environmental platform slightly below that of the NDP (a fact the NDP made much of in some closely-contested ridings in an attempt to encourage Greens and other environmentalists to vote for them strategically).
The GPC is a member of the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas and recognized by the Global Greens as representing Canadian Greens federally.

 S/R 36: Statement of the Ecology Caucus of the Green Party
Certainly this is true regarding Green parties in other countries, where Greens are often the lone voice for the environment heard in foreign parliaments and the media.
Ecology and the environment comprise the scientific foundations of the movements for social and economic justice.
Greens and Green Parties have no presence in the halls of congress nor have we made ourselves the public voice for the environment—the voice needed as a counterweight to disastrous government policies, corporations and despoilers of the earth.

 Global Greens -
Further, while Green parties were the first political parties to build their party platforms on an explicitly environmental plank, and the environmental dimension is certainly fundamental to them, the environmental plank is only one of four foundational principles common to Green parties.
The study of Green party politics to date, therefore, has been largely confined within the conventional boundaries and concepts of the discipline of political science, where the nation-state is taken as the prime organising structure for politics, and parties are studied chiefly as actors within that structure.
These parties were strongly nationalist in their approach to economic management, and the goal of their economic policies was to improve the standard of living of the majority of the citizens in the nation-states of which they were sometimes the government..

 Time for a new Ecology party
The Green Party's highest vote - 15 per cent - was achieved in the 1989 European parliamentary elections on the strength of appeals to 'soft' Tory voters instead of the 'hard' left.
The party's determination to position itself on the left has alienated large swathes of the population, both from the party itself and also, far more dangerously, from ecological consciousness in general.
Liberation from the left would enable the Greens to emerge as the party of genuine diversity and choice in real contrast to the post-Thatcherite Tories and New Labour and their pale imitations of these ideas.
