Alterglobalisation - The 80 percent of people living in cities in the EU have enormous power to influence the process of globalisation, which is increasingly affecting every person’s life. We constantly hear about globalisation, the dominant model of which is one of corporate neoliberalism, which plays a part in the exploitation of people and the destruction of the natural environment. The Greens are not opposed to globalisation, but instead are proponents of an alternative model of globalisation – one of fair trade, the globalisation of human rights, the protection of the world’s natural resources etc. These values can be fought for not only internationally, but also at the city level. In promoting an alterglobal city, the Greens encourage You to:

| - Alterglobalisation - The 80 percent of people living in cities in the EU have enormous power to influence the process of globalisation, which is increasingly affecting every person’s life. We constantly hear about globalisation, the dominant model of which is one of corporate neoliberalism, which plays a part in the exploitation of people and the destruction of the natural environment. The Greens are not opposed to globalisation, but instead are proponents of an alternative model of globalisation – one of fair trade, the globalisation of human rights, the protection of the world’s natural resources etc. These values can be fought for not only internationally, but also at the city level. In promoting an alterglobal city, the Greens encourage You to:
* find out whether your city has adopted a local policy of protecting the global climate
* encourage your city to become twinned with less wealthy cities in Africa, Latin America or Asia. Europeans must show solidarity in the global village
* buy fair trade products (again put pressure on your city council to do the same). The producers are guaranteed a fair wage and are given the opportunity to improve their quality of life and to develop sustainably
* make contact with environmental groups and groups campaigning for human rights, peace or development policies. Support their international campaigns and encourage your city council to do the same
* show your city council that acting alterglobally will give them international prestige!
