About us: Green Party of Jordan / under-foundation

The Green Party of Jordan is an environmental party aiming to deploy human rights concepts, democracy practices and green politics in the Jordanian society. Today and more than ever before, Jordan needs urgent environmental policy, integrating all segments 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 believe that these issues are inherently related to one another as a foundation for ‘world peace’ and ‘world health’. Therefore, such parties are normally part of the ‘Global Green Movement’. Examples of ‘Greens’ from the globe are, German Green Party, Swedish environmental Party, European Green Party, Green Party of Egypt, Lebanon Green Party and Green Party for Progress of Tunisia.

We believe that this was and is still one of the best ideas raised in Jordan and therefore, we are willing to revive the Green Party of Jordan, which unfortunately was dissolved 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 spread of desertification and land erosion. Jordan needs to integrate the efforts of all its institutions and individuals to mitigate environmental problems by providing solutions and mechanisms and dissemination of awareness and knowledge to the public.

2 - calls for the urgent need in Jordan to adopt a green policy towards environmental issues and the role of the Green Party will be Jordan's assistant and partner with all community organizations to provide programs and environmental development in the adoption of guidelines and require that a green environmental policy in Jordan.
