Greenpeace Middle East and North Africa

Established in 2018, Greenpeace MENA is the newest organization of the Greenpeace network that now consists of 27 independent national and regional organizations in over 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, as well as its co-ordinating body, Greenpeace International. Each organization of Greenpeace network operates in very different contexts around the world, designing its own specific approach to support positive change. Greenpeace MENA has a regional operation in the Middle East and North Africa with an ongoing continuous presence in several countries in the region. Greenpeace MENA offers solutions to the major environmental problems in the Middle East and North African region, notably the climate emergency. We work hand in hand with diverse regional and national stakeholders, focusing our work where we have expertise and experience and where we can make the greatest impact and contribution. Greenpeace MENA seeks to promote a greener, more sustainable and more equitable future for everyone. We believe that a better world is not only possible, but is already happening. As Greenpeace MENA, we can’t do this alone: We value the support and collaboration of partners, allies and champions who share the vision and values we hold so dear ( – and that we seek to instill in the youth of the region who have the will, and the power to make this change a reality). We draw on the latest scientific research to raise awareness about developing environmental problems and provide innovative solutions. Working with thought leaders and influencers, we are highlighting the impact of the climate emergency to bring it to the front of people’s minds. Greenpeace MENA takes pride to be a financially independent organization and does not accept funding from governments, corporations or political parties. We are honored to rely on donations from generous individuals to carry out our work.
