Policy issues 
A few issues affect most of the green parties around the world, and can often inhibit global cooperation. Some affect structure, and others affect policy:
 Anti-nuclear
 Bioregionalism
 Biosafety
 Biosecurity
 Electoral reform
 Fundamentalism vs. Realism
 Green transport hierarchy
 Greenwashing
 Indigenous peoples
 Land reform
 Natural capitalism
 Primate extinction
 Prometheanism
 Rainforest destruction
 Safe trade
Sustainable transport
On matters of ecology, extinction, biosafety, biosecurity, safe trade and health security, "Greens" generally agree.  There are very substantial policy differences between and among Green Parties in various countries and cultures, and a continuing debate about the degree to which natural ecology and human needs align.  Agreement on particular issues is often reached using a consensus decision making process.
