Greenpeace

Greenpeace is an independent, global campaigning organization that uses non-violent, creative actions to protect the environment and promote peace.

The mission of Greenpeace is to expose global environmental issues and enforce solutions that are essential for a green and peaceful future. The goal is to preserve the Earth's ability to sustain life in all its diversity. Core objectives include protecting biodiversity, preventing pollution and exploitation, ending all nuclear threats, and promoting peace and global disarmament[1][3][4].

Greenpeace is based on four core values:

• Personal Responsibility and Non-Violence: Greenpeace acts out of conscience and relies on non-violent actions. Everyone participating in actions is responsible for their actions and commits to non-violence.
• Independence: Greenpeace is funded solely by private donations and foundation grants, rejecting money from governments, corporations, and political parties to ensure political and financial independence.
• No Permanent Friends or Enemies: Greenpeace collaborates with governments and corporations when they are willing to support its goals and confronts them when they stray from those goals.
• Promoting Solutions: Greenpeace develops, researches, and promotes concrete steps towards a green and peaceful future[1][3][4].

Greenpeace is engaged worldwide in various areas:

• Protection of Biodiversity: Greenpeace fights for the preservation of species diversity and against habitat loss.
• Prevention of Pollution: The organization advocates against the pollution of oceans, land, air, and freshwater, documenting environmental crimes to raise public awareness[2][3][4].
• Promotion of Peace and Disarmament: Greenpeace works for the end of nuclear threats and promotes global disarmament and peace.
• Climate Protection: Greenpeace drives the green transformation in the economy, politics, and society to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and stop the dramatic loss of species[5].

Greenpeace is active on all seven continents and in 55 countries. The organization uses creative, non-violent actions to expose environmental issues and promote solutions. Through direct actions, scientific research, and political advocacy, Greenpeace works to raise public awareness and bring about change[2][4].

Greenpeace thrives on the active participation of its supporters and staff. With over 3,000 full-time employees and many thousands of volunteers worldwide, Greenpeace has developed into a strong global movement advocating for a more sustainable, just, and peaceful world[2].
