Expand international partnerships and development policy
The Greens want Lower Saxony to enter new partnerships, including with a region in Ukraine and with countries in Latin America and Africa. The state's development policy is to be revised and fair trade promoted.
The Greens want more partnerships with other countries. Lower Saxony should get a partner region in Ukraine. The state should help rebuild there. It should also work with countries in Africa and Latin America. Fair trade should become better known.
The program aims for a partnership with a region in Ukraine, in which the state also helps with reconstruction and supports efforts by municipalities. Clear criteria are to apply when choosing partner countries and projects. The development policy guidelines are to be reviewed and updated. Critical engagement with the colonial legacy is to be advanced in schools, vocational and further training, and universities. One World promoters and global learning programs are to be put on a more secure long-term footing. A statewide fair trade campaign is also planned, along with help for municipalities that want to become a Fair Trade Town.
