This version of the 21 points has been revised to make the language clearer. It does not differ substantively from the first version posted.

Climate change and peak oil have converged in this first decade of the 21st Century to challenge humanity to rethink how we live because we cannot continue to live beyond the Earth's ecological limits and at the same time avoid the collapse of human civilisation because of dangerous climate change and the war, famine, poverty, ecosystem destruction and species extinction that it will accompany it.

Declaration on Sustainable Cities Draft 24.4.2008 We, the representatives of the Global Greens at the Global Greens Congress 1-4 May 2008 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, agree the following declaration for the development of sustainable cities.

Ecological wisdom is a fundamental principle of the Global Greens Charter and protecting biodiversity, the variety of life on earth, is a central Green priority.

This is the draft declaration on 21 Points for the 21st Century, to be discussed, amended and agreed at Global Greens 2008. Please make your comments on this web page and in the workshops at the Congress.

This is an orientation paper presented by the Global Green Co-ordination to stimulate the debate in Sao Paulo on the Future of the Global Greens and to provide the basis for the Declaration to be adopted by Congress.
