The Greens are inter-ethnic and strive to improve relations between the three language groups of the Province: Italian-, German- and Ladin-speakers.

[5] Other than in the Landtag of South Tyrol since 1978, the party was successively represented in the European Parliament by long-time activist Langer (1989–1995), mountaineer Reinhold Messner (1999–2004) and theologian Sepp Kusstatscher (2004–2009).

In the 2013 general election, the Greens did not follow the national party into the Civil Revolution alliance and decided instead to support Left Ecology Freedom (SEL), whose regional slate included Green Florian Kronbichler,[7] who was the first German-speaker to be elected not for the SVP.

In the 2018 general election, Kronbichler did not stand again and the Greens continued to join forces with SI within the Free and Equal electoral list,[14] with Norbert Lantschner as its standard-bearer.

In the 2024 European Parliament election the Greens ran as part of AVS, with Foppa as standard-bearer,[23] garnering 15.8% of the vote.

In that occasion, the Greens obtained their highest share in Urtijëi (20.3%), but it generally ran strong in the largest cities and towns (12.8% in Merano, 11.7% in Bolzano, 10.3% in Bruneck and 10.1% in Brixen), while doing worse in the most rural districts – Wipptal (4.2%), Pustertal (6.3%) and Vinschgau (6.5%).
