About us: Green Party of Jordan / under-foundation
The Green Party of Jordan is an environmental party aiming to
deploy human rightsconcepts, democracy practices and green politics
in the Jordanian society. Today andmore than ever before, Jordan
needs urgent environmental policy, integrating allsegments of
society in a national agenda with specific targets and milestones.
The name Green Party is used by political parties who work for
sustainable and
democratic society. It is based on the principles of
sustainability, social justice,democracy, nonviolence, conservation
of diversity and ecological wisdom. We believethat these issues are
inherently related to one another as a foundation for world
peaceand world health. Therefore, such parties are normally part of
the Global GreenMovement. Examples of Greens from the globe are,
German Green Party, Swedishenvironmental Party, European Green
Party, Green Party of Egypt, Lebanon Green Partyand Green Party for
Progress of Tunisia.We believe that this was and is still one of
the best ideas raised in Jordan andtherefore, we are willing to
revive the Green Party of Jordan, which unfortunately wasdissolved
in 2008 for no logical reasons after being active for 8 years.Why
Green Party of Jordan now?We need the Green Party of Jordan at this
moment for many ressons such as:1 - Jordan suffers from
environmental problems such as lack of water and the spreadof
