About Greenpeace

A Journey For The Planet, And For Peace

Greenpeace is a Global Movement.

We are more powerful and more influential when we are open and ready to embrace everyone committed to creating a green and peaceful future. We have marched alongside social justice organizations, spoken out beside workers and corporate leaders, and developed innovative, groundbreaking campaigns with environmental organizations around the world.

We invite you to learn more about the work we are doing, joining a global environmental movement that will take you from city centers in the U.S. to forest outposts in the Amazon to remote villages in the Arctic to the very bottom of the sea.

Today, Greenpeace is more than three and a half million strong.

The Greenpeace journey started 50 years ago in the early hours of a September morning. The plan for that first Greenpeace crew was to sail a rickety fishing boat to the Arctic Ocean to stop a US government nuclear test. It was to be, in the words of Greenpeace co-founder Irving Stowe, “A trip for life, and for peace.”

Today, Greenpeace is more than three and a half million strong, with supporters, partners and allies in more than 55 countries.

Following the Quaker tradition which inspired our founding, Greenpeace “bears witness” to environmental destruction, moving from a belief that, as citizens in an interconnected global community, we have a moral obligation to take action against the injustices visited on the Earth in a peaceful, non-violent manner. We challenge the systems of influence and privilege that destroy the environment and place disproportionate burdens on the economically disadvantaged and the vulnerable.

Greenpeace does this by investigating, documenting and exposing abuses of power and by championing solutions. We harness the power of creativity, the authority of science and the passion of activism to disrupt the myths, narratives and barriers that discourage innovation and deny much needed progress.
