Greenpeace is a globally recognized, independent environmental campaigning organization that operates in over 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Renowned for addressing critical environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, and pollution, Greenpeace was founded in 1971, following protests against US nuclear testing in Alaska. This non-governmental organization uses direct action, lobbying, research, and policy work to achieve its mission of promoting peace, global sustainability and biodiversity. Greenpeace is known for its commitment to nonviolence, and for developing creative communication tools to inform, engage and mobilize a global community in environmental activism.
