  Four Pillars of the Green Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The four pillars define a Green Party as a political movement that inherits its philosophy from four predecessors, the peace movement, the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and the labour movement.
The four pillars were originally defined by European Green Parties, from the foundation of the German Green Party in 1979-1980, and later adopted by the U.S. Green Party.
None of the four pillars can be regarded as a means to an end, as compared to "Respect for Diversity" in the Ten Key Values, which can be evaluated as a means to achieving both social justice and ecological wisdom.
