The summer of 2023 was Earth\u2019s hottest summer since global records began in 1880. This unfortunately marks an ongoing and severely concerning pattern of increasing floods, wildfires, glacier melt, and heat waves in the coming future.<\/p>\n\n

This year, we saw raging forest fires in Canada and many other parts of the world, including Hawaii, the Amazon, Italy, Greece and Indonesia, followed by dangerous floods impacting thousands in India, China, Hong Kong, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Liberia and many countries in Africa.<\/p>\n\n

The worst part is that the end isn’t close enough! There is an abundance of science to say that we absolutely MUST end the fossil fuel industry, but our world leaders need to now ACT on the urgency of the situation. <\/p>\n\n

This year, we finally have a global treaty on plastic pollution, a landmark agreement after years of campaigning and negotiations. Also, Greenpeace activists showcased unparalleled bravery to participate in a courageous protest against deep sea mining companies. This peaceful protest continued for more than 100 hours. <\/p>\n\n

These images below testify to all of our collective courage as we continue to fight for this planet.<\/p>\n\n

Signs read “Less talk more action for Climate”.

A hundred climate activists supporting Greenpeace, Stay Grounded, Extinction Rebellion, Scientist Rebellion and other climate movement groups from 17 countries have disrupted Europe\u2019s biggest private jets sales fair, the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, demanding a ban on private jets. \n\nActivists were peacefully occupying private jets that are exhibited at the business event by Geneva airport, having chained themselves to aircraft gangways and the exhibition entrance in order to keep prospective buyers from entering. The protestors stuck giant tobacco-style health warning labels on the airplanes marking them as toxic objects and warning that \u2018private jets burn our future\u2019, \u2018kill our planet\u2019, and \u2018fuel inequality\u2019. Public service announcements from loudspeakers carried by the activists exposed the dramatic consequences of private jets for our planet and revealed the hypocrisy of promoting private jets amidst rising social inequality.<\/figcaption>
