The Charter was updated in 2017 Congress in Liverpool and in the 2023 Congress in Korea.

The signatory parties and [[political movement]]s of the ''Global Greens Charter'' commit themselves to [[global partnership]] and to six guiding principles. These principles are:
* [[ecological wisdom]]
* [[social justice]]
* [[participatory democracy]]
* [[nonviolence]]
* [[sustainability]]
* respect for diversity

The Charter builds on earlier Greens statements including in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit,<ref name=globalgreens /> the Millennium Declaration made at Oaxaca in 1999 and the Accord between the Green Parties of the Americas and the Ecologist Parties of Africa.
