Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen at a glance

Alliance 90 / The Greens G/EFA
Flag of Germany Germany Green Environment & Climate Europhile Founded 1993

Bündnis 90/The Greens is an eco-social party that emerged from the environmental, peace, and civil rights movements. It consistently combines robust climate protection with socially liberal values, strongly emphasizing global responsibility and social justice.

Values and Ideology
The party's foundation rests on the pillars of ecology, self-determination, justice, and non-violent politics. Its worldview is shaped by the recognition of ecological limits: economic activity must operate within planetary boundaries. Its understanding of humanity is emancipatory and progressive.

Political Priorities
The party's agenda focuses on the socio-ecological transformation of the economy, a massive expansion of renewable energy, and the preservation of biodiversity. Its target groups primarily include urban, educated demographics, young people, and environmentally conscious businesses. The party advocates for a modern sustainable mobility transition, robust consumer protection, and liberal social policies that foster diversity. In foreign policy, it champions values-based multilateralism and the strengthening of European institutions, often navigating the tension between its pacifist origins and the pragmatic responsibilities of security policy.

Role in the Political System
Strategically, the Greens have evolved from an oppositional protest movement into a pragmatic governing party, acting as a bridge-builder between various political camps. They assume the role of a moral advocate for sustainability, challenging the institutions of the rule of law to more firmly embed ecological rights. Tensions regularly arise from the conflict between radical ecological grassroots demands and the necessary compromises inherent in parliamentary power politics. Their relationship with the state is characterized by the will to transform it from within, making it more ecological and inclusive.
