Following 4 days of actions during the advertising festival Cannes Lions, Greenpeace displayed its message « fossil ads are burning the planet » directly on the Palais.
Facing the giant banner, a fire truck symbolized the climate emergency. And up the ladder, the dog from the famous « This is fine » meme, highlights the denial of advertising agencies in the face of the climate emergency.
Throughout the entirety of the festival, Greenpeace has been campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel advertising, partnerships and sponsorships in Europe.
Greenpeace along with over 35 organisations are pushing a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) petition, calling for a new law that bans fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship in the EU.

The river expedition “Amazon We Need”, held in June 2022, is a way to discuss new economic development models for the region, based on forest potential, the knowledge of traditional and Indigenous populations, and promoting scientific research. The expedition aims to support river communities of the Manicoré River, in the southern Amazonas state, who fight for their land rights to be acknowledged and their forest protected. Another objective is to support researchers of INPA (Amazon Research National Institute) in their studies on Amazon biodiversity.
