Green Party of England and Wales
Manifesto for a Sustainable Society

The MfSS is a statement of the policies needed to fulfil the Green Vision and create a society based on ecological sustainability and social justice. It is not a programme for a single term of government, but an expression of what is necessary to achieve these long term goals.


MfSS is organised into chapters covering particular policy areas. These vary in size and complexity, but each chapter follows a broad structure of introduction & background, objectives, long and short term specific policies.

Each paragraph is numbered with a code consisting of the 2 letter identifier for the chapter followed by three digits. This provides a means for finding and cross-referencing between chapters. You can use the box on the left to preview or jump directly to a specific paragraph.


The MfSS undergoes a constant process of revision both through amendments passed by Conference and also periodic review of each chapter in turn as a full voting paper at conference.

In addition conference may pass motions which recommend specific policy responses to transient circumstances that are recorded as Records of Policy Statements (RoPS). These are collected under the same headings as the chapter titles and are referenced at the end of each chapter.

Some RoPS are now available as web pages and all can be downloaded as PDF files. RoPS are grouped under MfSS chapter headings although there is likely to be considerable overlap (eg between Peace & Defence and International) - improved indexing and cross-referencing is under development

More digestible summaries of policy covering particular areas are published as policy pointers and available for download in PDF format.
