Canberra 2001

In April 2001, 800 people gathered in the Australian capital, Canberra, for Global Greens 2001, which created the Global Greens organisation. It was an emotional, exhilarating and exhausting meeting of Green parties and political movements from more than 70 countries, hosted by Australian Senator Bob Brown. The week before, hundreds of young people from 20 countries attended the first ever meeting of the Global Young Greens in Sydney.
