A giant life ring in Bulgaria, an oversized bill in New York, and a massive banner in Mexico. We’ve gone supersized this week, with a selection of images from Greenpeace work around the world over the past seven days.
🇷🇴 / 🇧🇬 Romania and Bulgaria – 50+ Greenpeace Activists from the region gather at the border of the two countries to deliver a powerful message with a giant life ring: No New Oil and Gas Drilling in the Black Sea.
🇺🇸 USA – At nightfall in California, Greenpeace USA projected a powerful message of purpose and defiance onto the Marin Headlands, facing the Golden Gate Bridge. The action marked 100 days into the administration’s second term and launched the global #TimeToResist campaign — a call to push back against attacks on democracy, dissent, and environmental justice from from billionaire oligarchs and corporate bullies.
🇺🇸 USA – On the eve of NYC Climate Week, the UN General Assembly, and the UN Secretary General’s Climate Ambition Summit. Greenpeace USA activists deploy a giant “Climate Polluters Bill” nearly 160 feet long — the length of an Olympic swimming pool — through midtown Manhattan, while marching in the Make Billionaires Pay March during Climate Week NYC and on the eve of the UN General Assembly and the UN Secretary General’s Climate Ambition Summit.
🇵🇭 Philippines – Scenes during the protest rally against corruption under the current Marcos Government, with Greenpeace Philippines at the Luneta Park, Manila.
🇲🇽 Mexico – In an urgent call to the Mexican government to heed the cry for help from the Maya Forest, the communities that inhabit it, and the unique biodiversity it shelters, such as the jaguar, Greenpeace Mexico activists displayed a message that was impossible to ignore. From a height of 70 meters, from the Estela de Luz monument, nine activists from the environmental organization unfurled a 27-meter-long banner with the message “The Maya Forest is crying out. Semarnat, save it!” The climb took about two hours to reach a height where the message could be clearly seen from a distance, symbolising that this call can no longer be ignored.
🇺🇸 USA – Greenpeace USA and allies from across the globe march down Park Ave/”Billionaires’ Row” during the Make Billionaires Pay March in New York City. The march is a part of a series of international mobilizations for climate justice happening September 19–21, entitled Draw the Line, on the eve of NYC Climate Week, the UN General Assembly, and the UN Secretary General’s Climate Ambition Summit.
Greenpeace has been a pioneer of photo activism for more than 50 years, and remains committed to bearing witness and exposing environmental injustice through the images we capture.
