About Greenpeace
Greenpeace is a global environmental campaigning organisation that began over 50 years ago in Canada in 1971.
Today, Greenpeace is comprised of dozens of independent organisations in over 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a co-ordinating body, Greenpeace International.
Together, along with millions of supporters and allies, we aim to build a sustainable future and protect the planet and all its forms of life.
We win campaigns
Through the support of people in Aotearoa and around the world, Greenpeace has been able to mobilise millions of people, secure groundbreaking wins, and push for stronger environmental protections.
From saving the whales to supporting a Global Oceans Treaty, Greenpeace campaigns have changed the world for the better.
