Our Work<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Greenpeace’s global mission is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity. We need to change the way we, humans, relate to nature and to each other. We will dismantle the broken systems and global power structures that have failed us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Climate Issues We Work On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Communities are already facing floods, heatwaves, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. But because it\u2019s driven by human activity, we have the power to change course. Together, we can protect our planet, our people, and our future. Explore the issues we\u2019re tackling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Haze
Ahead of the 2021 International Human Rights Day, a broad alliance of civil society organisations led by Greenpeace Malaysia and local NGO CERAH Anti-Haze Action file a pioneering complaint at the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM) in Kuala Lumpur as a proactive countermeasure to address the chronic and persistent haze pollution.\n\nRepresentatives from the coalition joined Greenpeace Malaysia volunteers for an offline action in front of the Human Rights Commission building to demand for the recognition of clean, haze-free air as a basic human right.

\"Sarawak
The Penan are one of the few remaining nomadic peoples of the rain forest. Their homeland in the Malaysian state of Sarawak is undergoing one of the highest rates of logging on earth. Penan are also threatened by a massive dam project. The proposed Bakun dam will flood 70,000 hectares of land, displacing indigenous peoples and wildlife and destroying even more rain forest.

\"Turtle

Unknown number of endangered marine turtles die in purse seine FAD fisheries each year. Greenpeace is calling for a total ban on the use of fish aggregation devices in purse seining, and the establishment of a global network of marine reserves.\nLAT 04:07 NORTH \/ LONG 091:28 WEST<\/figcaption>

\""The
\u201cThe Truth about our Recycling\u201d. Behind the scenes of the Big Plastic Count Results film.\nThe country\u2019s largest ever survey of household plastic waste can reveal that nearly 100 billion pieces of plastic are binned in the UK every year, with just 12% likely to be recycled. Maja Darlington, Greenpeace UK Plastics Campaigner, uncovers the truth in this new video produced by purpose-driven creative agency, Enviral, which was all shot on a real landfill site in Swindon.<\/figcaption>
