Annual Report 2020
2020 was a year filled with challenges and heartbreak. As the impacts of COVID-19 escalated, Greenpeace gathered our courage, and drew on our nearly 50 years of talent and expertise to continue the fight for our planet and to join the calls to protect those left most vulnerable by the pandemic. Cynical actors decided to take advantage of the crisis as cover to get the things that they’ve always wanted. Trump’s EPA rolled back restrictions on pollution controls, and the plastics industry jumped in to exploit the pandemic by scaring people about the safety risk of reusable bags. That’s why Greenpeace acted to investigate polluters and the politicians who enable them, to expose the corporate and political elites who hope their profiteering goes unnoticed, and to mobilize Greenpeacers like you to stop them.
