Dear Friends Humanity is at a crossroads. We must act quickly to confront the global climate crisis that threatens our entire planet. While people around the world are willing to change their ways of living and consuming, major changes in public policy are also necessary to avoid catastrophe =96 from our energy policy, industrial processes and the use of technology, to the rules of commerce and international law. That=92s where the Green Party comes in. It is from this perspective that we invite you to take part in the most exhilarating, challenging and inspiring meeting of the decade: Global Greens 2008 in Brazil! The focus will be the political, social, economical and ecological aspects of the climate crisis, so that the Greens globally can play a leading role in helping make our planet healthy and safe =96 for Humanity and all of Nature. The Greens constitute a global, social-political movement without precedent. During Global Greens 2001, in Canberra, Australia, we formed a Global Greens Network and Coordination, based upon our Global Greens Charter. With over three decades of experience serving in local, state and national governments on six continents, we recognize that to achieve our goals, we must think and act globally and locally. Global Greens 2008 will offer the opportunity to meet Greens from around the world, who share similar goals and ideals, and to learn specifically about the spirit and diversity of Latin America. Our main objective will be to establish a joint Green climate crisis action plan for the next decade, on which Green parties and movements around the world can work cooperatively, showing the way for governments and communities alike. Your participation will be crucial in producing an effective, achievable plan. Brazil was unanimously proposed by the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas and was chosen because it has a key role to play in what will happen to the planet over the next few decades. The conference will be held in Sao Paulo, at the Memorial da America Latina. The most populous South American city, with more than 18 million inhabitants, Sao Paulo presents all the problems and ingenious solutions of a mega-city side-by-side. Greens are elected there, and overall have hundreds of elected representatives overall in city, state and national governments across the nation. Preparations for the conference are progressing well. The Global Steering Group met in Nairobi, Kenya, in November 2006, and, since then, has held monthly phone conferences. A Brazil-based organizing committee has also been established, led by Marco Antonio Mroz, and has an office in Sao Paulo, with Sergio Dialetachi in charge. A conference web page has also been created and is running (www.globalgreens.org.br <http://www.globalgreens.org.br/>). To make our meeting in Brazil a success, the message must reach every Green. To help make this happen, please make sure all your affiliated members and supporters are duly informed. Global Greens 2008 will be a springboard for Green politics around the world, positioning us to act effectively on the climate crisis. In addition to being a center of Green politics, Global Greens 2008 will be a wonderful festival of friendship, fun and optimism. We hope to see you here! With our best Green wishes, Jose Luiz Penna, President of the Brazilian Green Party = Marco Antonio Mroz, International Secretary, Brazilian Green Party Julia Willebrand and Jorge Gonzalez Torres Co-Chair of the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas Details for your calendar: Global Greens 2008 When: 1 - 4 May 2008 Where: Auditorio Simon Bolivar Memorial da America Latina Sao Paulo, Brazil Information: www.globalgreens.org.br <http://www.globalgreens.org.br/> or contact@globalgreens.org.br <mailto:contact@globalgreens.org.br> _______________________________________________ cal-forum mailing list cal-forum@cagreens.org http://lists.cagreens.org/mailman/listinfo/cal-forum ]
