When politicians put oil and profit before people and planet, we need to hold them accountable.
From Brazil to Indonesia, forests are being destroyed to make way for soya, palm oil, and cattle. But we need these forests in the fight against the climate breakdown.
Scientists have a new rescue plan for our oceans, and it’s up to all of us to make it happen.
We’re facing extreme weather events, catastrophic loss of wildlife and a crisis over future access to freshwater and food. Come with us to the doorsteps of those responsible for this crisis.
This is where you come in. If you want a green and just world, we’ll march alongside you. If you’ve got ideas for how to get there, we want to learn from you. Let’s dream together, plan together and act together.
Be the changeImagine a world where forests flourish and oceans are full of life. Where energy is as clean as a mountain stream. Where everyone has security, dignity and joy. We can’t build this future alone, but we can build it together.

See what we stand for
In 1971, our founders set sail to an island in the Arctic. Their mission? To stop a nuclear bomb. It was a journey that would spark a movement and make history.
