Nothing brings people all together more than a peaceful protest for a right cause. The commitment levels of activists and volunteers are infectious. The ability to take action for something we all believe in makes everyone proud. An instant connection is forged, transcending languages and geographical barriers, as shown through each image below. 

We witnessed some very courageous actions across the world. This short selection of images proves that Greenpeace’s spirit is alive and well. The courage of our volunteers and activists inspires people to stand up for Mother Earth no matter where they are.

Eight people from Bonaire, together with Greenpeace Netherlands, are suing the Dutch State. Bonaire is one of the Dutch municipalities hit hardest by climate change. They argue that their human rights are being violated because the State is doing far too little to protect the inhabitants of the special Dutch municipality from the effects of climate change.

Ten Greenpeace activists are protesting on the Baltic Sea close to Rostock / Warnemünde against potential environmentally damaging Russian oil exports using dilapidated tankers, the so-called shadow fleet. On dinghies close to the passing Seagull, the environmentalists are holding a banner saying:"Oil kills". The 250 metre long tanker is carrying Russian crude oil on its way to India. The ship built in 2003, has attracted attention in the past due to technical defects in the fire extinguishing system and life-saving equipment. Many of the shadow fleet tankers are inadequately insured, meaning that in the event of an oil spill, the countries affected would have to pay for the damage. In addition, the tankers are registered in countries that only require low safety standards and rarely inspect them. An accident along the route would threaten Warnemünde, Fehmarn and Damp with an oil spill. ©Greenpeace

Activists together with residents who are members of the Urban Justice Committee (KKP) unfurled a giant banner in a creative peaceful action at Perawan Beach, Pari Island, Seribu Islands, Jakarta. In the action held ahead of the third debate of the Jakarta regional head election, they demanded a resolution of the conflict over living space and punishment for environmental destroyers and ensure the revocation or revision of public policies that cause environmental damage and human rights violations. Pari Island is one of the islands located in the Seribu Islands and is only 35 km from the mainland of Jakarta. Coastal communities and small islands are often marginalized from the hustle and bustle of how a city is managed. In fact, they are the community groups most affected by the climate crisis. © Dhemas Reviyanto / Greenpeace
