The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand (Māori: Rōpū Kākāriki o Aotearoa, Niu Tireni),[15] commonly known as Green or the Greens, is a green political party in New Zealand.[1][10] Like many green parties around the world, it has four pillars (ecological wisdom, social justice, grassroots democracy, and nonviolence).[16] The party's ideology combines environmentalism with social democratic economic policies,[1] including well-funded and locally controlled public services within the confines of a steady-state economy.[17] Internationally, it is affiliated with the Global Greens.[13]
The Green Party traces its origins to the Values Party, founded in 1972 as the world's first national-level environmentalist party. The current Green Party was formed in 1990. From 1991 to 1997, the party participated in the Alliance, a grouping of five left-wing parties. It gained representation in Parliament at the 1996 election.
Historically, the Green Party had two co-leaders, one male and one female. In May 2022, Green Party members voted to change the co-leadership model, now requiring one female leader and one leader of any gender, and that one leader must be Māori.[18] Marama Davidson has been the female co-leader since 2018. Chlöe Swarbrick became co-leader in March 2024, succeeding James Shaw, who had been elected as male co-leader in 2015.
It is the third largest party in the House of Representatives, with 15 MPs.[19] In 2020, the party agreed to cooperate with the Sixth Labour Government and received two ministerial portfolios in return.[20] The Green Party contests many local government elections throughout New Zealand. Green Party representative Celia Wade-Brown served as Mayor of Wellington from 2010 to 2016, and in 2019, Aaron Hawkins was elected as the Mayor of Dunedin. In Auckland, the Green Party campaigns with the Labour Party, under the City Vision political banner.[21]
