Narrative:

We were at FL360 when we received an ECAM G hydraulic system low pr. At that time I took control of the aircraft while the first officer ran the appropriate check lists. It was determined through ecams and in talking with maintenance control and dispatch that we had lost our green hydraulic system. We then declared an emergency and ran the appropriate checklists for approach and landing: landing distances required; gravity gear extension; tow in. I also had the purser do a cabin advisory. After briefing the purser and passengers we prepared for landing with a brief about what to expect and when checklists would need to be run. I landed the aircraft and stopped on the runway. We were towed to the gate after the aircraft was secured by ground personnel and crash fire rescue equipment.
