Greenpeace is present in 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Greenpeace East Asia opened its Hong Kong office in 1997, Beijing in 2002, Taipei in 2010 and Seoul in 2011. Surging economic development in East Asia has brought widespread prosperity, but has also taken a severe environmental toll, both regionally and worldwide.
Greenpeace recognizes the importance of regional offices that work together to achieve effective solutions for a sustainable future.
