United States – Days after the Washington Post fired 300 journalists, including 14 full-time climate reporters, a Greenpeace activist dressed up as Jeff Bezos, the owner of the paper, stands in front of their flagship building on K Street in downtown Washington, DC. Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, also owns Amazon and AWS. Critics denounced Bezos cutting news and investigative staff while retaining its masthead slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
Gambia – The first day of public opening of the Arctic Sunrise took place on 5 February 2026 in Banjul, The Gambia. The day was marked by an official ceremony held on board, bringing together Gambian authorities, institutional partners, and representatives of civil society to mark the vessel’s arrival in Gambian waters.
Germany – During the Munich Security Conference, Greenpeace activists protest with larger-than-life sculptures of US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Marienplatz in Munich.
The two heads of government stand on a 10-metre-long model of a gas tanker with the words ‘Fossil Gas’ written on its side. Greenpeace activists hold banners reading ‘Safe energy instead of gas dependency’ and ‘Break Free From Tyrants’.
France – 1,500 citizens, farmers, scientists, healthcare professionals, agrochemical victim collectives, and civil society organizations gathered in Paris to denounce the environmental and health setbacks caused by current agricultural policies, particularly the Duplomb Law being debated in the National Assembly.
The citizen mobilisation continued with the “Cancer Anger” Citizen Choir and speeches by representatives of the associations, collectives, and organizations present.
The Netherlands – Activists from Greenpeace Netherlands occupy the main terminal of Lelystad Airport, Netherlands. The group is calling on the new government to cancel plans for opening the airport to commercial leisure traffic.
Germany – Greenpeace activists protest with the message ‘Break Free From Tyrants’ on a 90-square-metre banner on a crane in the early morning hours near the Munich Security Conference. The reason for the protest is Europe’s dependence on liquefied natural gas supplies from Russia and the United States. Both US President Trump and Russian President Putin use energy supplies as a means of exerting pressure.
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.
