It is vital to "think global, act local". Real security for all is achieved when
communities and countries work together to promote real justice, understanding and respect and to increase equality.

We oppose war as a way of resolving international conflicts. The US, aided by the UK, seeks world domination and is increasingly involved in conflicts
over scarce resources like oil. Dangerous business, industrial and agricultural practices create an unequal, unstable, and unhealthy world. We seek to solve problems that force people to migrate to other countries, and call for fair treatment locally and nationally for refugees. We are an international party, working with Green Parties throughout the world.

In Sheffield

We want to use Sheffield's position as the fourth largest city in England to influence all other local authorities, the UK Government and international
organisations like the European Union and the United Nation to tackle issues like climate change, and to promote peace and defend human rights. Where necessary we will take the lead on these and other key issues.

The Green Party will:

• Raise crucial issues of climate change and energy at full Council Meetings.
• Support the conversion of local manufacture and research connected to the arms trade to civilian contracts, possibly developing the new technologies needed to stop climate change.
• Promote learning about global issues, such as the links between North and South, through schools, the Sheffield International Committee, the Development Education Centre and the Multilingual City Forum

Our Green Councillors will:

• Support companies committed to providing local jobs, and oppose jobs being moved elsewhere.
• Press for Sheffield to re-join the Nuclear Free Local Authorities group.
• Promote an affordable housing policy which makes it easier for asylum seekers and local homeless people to find suitable accommodation.
