This week at Greenpeace we performed with Swiss artist Athena on the Morteratsch Glacier, joined the Global Summud Flotilla and protested against fossil fuels, destructive fishing, for increased safety in Chornobyl and more. Here’s a few of our favourite images from Greenpeace work around the world.
Switzerland – Athena hiked up to the Morteratsch Glacier in the Upper Engadine, in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, with a four-piece ensemble. She performed her latest song, “Collide”, in one of the glacier’s breathtaking caves.
Mediterranean Sea – The Arctic Sunrise joined the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF); sailing alongside more than seventy vessels and over a thousand participants who seek to directly challenge Israel’s ongoing blockade of aid to Gaza.
Germany – As part of the ‘Schools for Earth’ project – a collaboration between Greenpeace Germany and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs.
Pupils, teachers and school leaders from the six schools in Lower Saxony gathered in Hannover for a networking event.
Atlantic Ocean – Greenpeace activists held up a banner in protest against destructive fishing practices by Spanish longliner Naboeiro operating in the Canary Guinea Convergence Zone.
Amsterdam – Greenpeace International staff and supporters gathered outside the Amsterdam District Court to spell out the message “facing down bullies” to mark a hearing in Greenpeace International’s anti-SLAPP lawsuit against fossil fuel pipeline company Energy Transfer filed in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Ukraine – Ahead of the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl reactor disaster (26. April 1986), Greenpeace activists protested in front of the nuclear ruin, calling for stronger support for Ukraine in securing the accident site.
The New Safe Confinement over the Sarcophagus and damaged reactor, severely impacted by a Russian drone attack, can no longer reliably fulfill its function.
Finland – Greenpeace and Forest Movement activists patrol valuable natural forests in Northern Finland. The aim is to prevent logging before they start, and if needed, to stop the logging.
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.
