The [[worldwide green parties]] are committed to the following '''Four Pillars''':
# [[Ecology]] (sometimes "Ecological Wisdom" or "Ecological Sustainability")
# [[social justice|Social Justice]] (sometimes "Social Equality and Economic Justice")
# [[Grassroots democracy|Grassroots Democracy]]
# [[Non-violence|Non-Violence]]

In German, it is known as ''Die Grünen: ökologisch, sozial, basisdemokratisch, gewaltfrei''.

These 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]]. The U.S. Green Party has expanded these into [[Ten Key Values of the Green Party]]. The Green Party of Canada has adopted the [http://www.greenparty.ca/index.php?module=article&view=24 Six Principles of the Global Greens].

The four pillars are generally considered interdependent, reinforcing each other in non-obvious ways e.g. [[Arundhati Roy]] describes the connectedness of Democracy, Peace and Non-Violence: "Where there is oppression, it will always be challenged... I don't believe that there can ever be peace without justice... The two go together. And there cannot be peace in the world with full-spectrum dominance."[http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s1219838.htm]. This approach arose from shared concerns of the [[peace movement]] and [[ecology movement]].
