AM-18-1 to R2: Green solutions for more crisis-prepared, resilient and safer societies

While other political movements propose turning inwards and slowing down
necessary reforms in the name of safety and security, the Green approach focuses
on renewal, cooperation, community and unity in ensuring civilian security and
the ability to manage crises. It ranges from ensuring timely processes and
resources for emergency response and assistance, effective measures for
preparing for crises and mitigating their impacts in advance, and building
societal resilience faced with longer-term trends that impact how our societies
function.

Resilience has a moral dimension. It means fighting back when we see our values being systematically disregarded. We, the European Greens, cannot afford to just outrage or protest, we have to take action. We have to turn moral distress into structured initiatives and effective actions aimed at expressing dissent while serving concrete and measurable goals. Our approach prioritises human security, environmental and social
sustainability, and democratic accountability, and shifts the focus beyond more
traditional hard security. Beyond responding to threats and crises, we also
focus on root causes, such as the climate crisis.

The Green approach has a strong emphasis on community-based safety strategies,
investing in local services and their resilience, and building the necessary
infrastructure capable of withstanding various shocks.
