Encourage sustainable trade
Activists from the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise intercepted a ship carrying US GMO-contaminated corn to a Mexican port - fresh evidence that the US was dumping genetically engineered crops across the border contradicting international agreements. This action took place during the WTO meeting in September, 2003 in Mexico.

Trade agreements are emerging as key factors in the fight for global environmental stability and security. Greenpeace has been working on trade issues for years, pressuring the World Trade Organization to adopt a more open process, respect the precautionary principle, honour domestic and international environmental regulations and consider the environmental impacts when making decisions. Greenpeace sent the Rainbow Warrior to the World Trade Organization meeting in Qatar in 2001 and activists to its meeting in Mexico in 2003 to broadcast internet radio updates, give activists access to the meeting and report to the world on relevant issues and decisions.
