2011 was the year in which Greenpeace celebrated its 40th anniversary as a campaigning organisation; while the environment may have been under threat back in 1971, it is in a state of crisis today. With the world’s political and industrial leaders unwilling to avert climate chaos, swaths of the world’s forest destroyed daily, the Arctic under threat, and unsustainable consumption in all industrialised countries – the urgency of our work is increasing exponentially.
Within this context, Greenpeace has expanded and strengthened its mobilisation and empowerment of people all around the world to take action.
