Civil disobedience<\/h2>

Civil Disobedience is part of Greenpeace\u2019s DNA. For more than 50 years, Greenpeace activists have been using peaceful tactics and Civil Disobedience to campaign against dirty corporations who are ruining the future for all of us. We are always peaceful and we always take personal responsibility for our actions.<\/p><\/div>

Many of us are feeling more and more desperate about our leaders’ lack of action and denial of climate science. Our planet is cooking while emissions continue to rise. A million species are now at risk of extinction, and thousands have been lost before them. Our leaders\u2019 empty words will not save nature and our climate. We believe Civil Disobedience is an important tool to bring the change we so desperately need. <\/p>\n\n

In Sweden, civil disobedience has been used for a long time to create change and strengthen democracy. The right to strike was created, for example, when the early labor movement, in violation of Swedish law at the time, went on strike, and thus the law was changed.<\/p>\n\n
