Greenpeace is present in 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Greenpeace International (formal registered Dutch name: Stichting Greenpeace Council) is the body that coordinates global Greenpeace policy and strategy. To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters and foundation grants. Greenpeace has been campaigning against environmental degradation since 1971 when a small boat of volunteers and journalists sailed into Amchitka, an area north of Alaska where the US government was conducting underground nuclear tests. This tradition of 'bearing witness' in a non-violent manner continues today. For more information please contact [email protected]

CO2 Emissions

Greenpeace International’s CO2 emissions for 2008 totalled 7,691 metric tonnes. This is 1% less than recorded in 2007 and is due to a reduction in the amount of fuel consumed by the three ships operated by Greenpeace International. The electricity used by the Greenpeace International office is now sourced 100% from renewable sources. The increase in business travel emissions of 38% is partly the result of ships’ crew travelling to and from the ships, two of which were operating for the majority of the year in the Pacific and Australasia regions in order to support campaigns there. The increase can also be attributed to increased operations in Asia and Africa, as a result of the response to the Tokyo Two trial in Japan and the opening of the new Greenpeace Africa offices in Kinshasa and Johannesburg.

The CO2 emissions for Greenpeace worldwide will be published for the first time in the 2009 Annual Report.
