This is our shared journey.
Thanks to our members’ generous support, Greenpeace was able to protect our Earth sanctuary in many vital ways throughout 2018. The year was packed with hard-fought battles — and victories! — for our environment, our communities and our rights. As you review the work you have been able to achieve, we hope you will be gratified with the progress in the defense of our oceans, forests, climate and democracy.
In spite of the Trump administration’s extremely regressive policies, in 2017 we saw notable wins for human rights, ocean and forest protection, water safety, and our climate. Greenpeace’s growing community made all of it possible, not only with monetary contributions but also with individuals taking personal action, giving their time and their talents, and turning out in full force collectively to show the world what people power can do.
Greenpeace’s 2016 Annual report marks our achievements on the 45th anniversary year of our organization’s campaigning for a green and peaceful future. These achievements were possible because of you, our donors. We hope you will be gratified as you review the progress that you made a reality, in the defense of our oceans, forests, climate, and democracy.
In 2015, we celebrated the 45th anniversary of the concert that funded the first Greenpeace voyage with a special music-themed edition of our Annual Report. From our campaign to save the Vaquita to Russian wildfires to ensembles performing in front of Shell's London headquarters, 2015 added another important page to Greenpeace's history as both an organization and a global environmental movement.
In 2014, Greenpeace supporters helped to bring the Arctic Sunrise home. Greenpeace supporters, allies and friends also took to the streets to call for climate justice, helped transform the supply chain of one of the largest, most well-known companies in the world and drew important attention to the horrible practices taking place on the high seas.
Greenpeace’s 2013 Annual Report took readers from the forests of Indonesia to the skies above North Carolina to the town of Lincolnville, Maine where Captain Pete Willcox shared the story of the Arctic 30.
The 2012 Greenpeace Annual Report introduced readers to the individuals behind the campaigns, people who helped convince 100 of the world’s largest corporations to take action to end deforestation, helped communities across the United States to shut down dirty and dangerous coal plants and built powerful coalitions of scientists and Native communities and supermarkets to safeguard our oceans.
In 2011, a new Rainbow Warrior joined the fight, the first boat ever built exclusively for environmental campaigning. Greenpeace supporters also helped force Mattel to stand up on behalf of the forests, sent a powerful message to Shell Oil and its plans to drill in the Arctic and helped shift some of the dirtiest coal-fired power plants to clean energy.
There are many ways to give.
