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.


To 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. In it, To Athena talks about her burnout. The song fits the glacier perfectly. The music video celebrates the beauty of nature whilst also highlighting how fragile it is. The video is a call to resist the destruction of the world and to work together to protect the foundations of our lives. The artistic performance was created in collaboration with Greenpeace Switzerland.

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 revealed that the Finnish state-owned company Metsähallitus is going to log down 70 natural forests around Finland. The company replied by preparing to log several natural forests in Northern Finland. Greenpeace and Forest Movement activists started patrolling the threatened natural forests to try to prevent the planned logging. In a week, over 12 000 people have signed an emergency petition to save the 70 threatened natural forests.
