Greenpeace are fully independent. They don’t accept any funding from governments, corporations
or political parties. That means Greenpeace are free to confront governments and corporations
responsible for the destruction of the natural world and push for real change. They do this by
investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. They work to
bring about change by lobbying, consumer pressure and mobilising members of the general public.
And they take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green and
peaceful future.
Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a small group of concerned individuals, who set sail to
Amchitka island off the coast of Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. Their old fishing
boat was called “The Greenpeace”. Today, Greenpeace is present in over 40 countries around the
world. We find ourselves at a pivotal point in human history now. Climate change is rapidly
accelerating and we are feeling the effects of it ever more – in the changes to our air, sea levels and
more extreme weather events. The need to act to protect our planet has never been so urgent.
