ACTION PLANNING NETWORK RESOLUTION
Global Greens 2001 - Canberra, Australia - 15 April 2001 

Bearing in mind that much progress has taken place in recent years to bring Green Parties in closer communication, and Noting that visible, concerted global actions of Green Parties would be an effective tool for mobilizing greater support for our principles in all countries, Be it resolved, that member parties of the Global Greens will undertake the following steps in the next six months: 

a. Form an Action Planning Network, constituted of voluntary representatives from each interested national Green party. 

b. Aside from sharing regular information, this Action Planning Network would be tasked to identify possible global actions to be undertaken by members of national parties, world-wide, on one specific date. 

c. By or before October 15, 2001, this Action Planning Network would be ready to recommend one or several specific global actions to be undertaken by members of national parties, world-wide. Such actions would be designed around issues of global importance but could also could support the plans of continental federations.
