The extraction of fossil fuels and the practice of fast fashion cause environmental injustice, which must be averted through political pressure and the transition to renewable energies.
Greenpeace has been a pioneer of photo-activism for more than 50 years and remains committed to bearing witness and exposing environmental injustice through the images we capture.
The text is a weekly selection of images from Greenpeace that documents protest actions in several countries. In Thailand, the expansion of fossil gas and LNG extraction is criticized at GasTech 2026 and a just transition to renewable energies is demanded. In the Netherlands, tens of thousands take part in the annual climate march in Amsterdam and call for an end to dependence on fossil fuels. In Germany, there is a protest against rising windfall profits in the petrol market and a warning about the risks of fast fashion at Shein. In Mexico, the government is called upon to cancel a mega-ammonia plant. In Turkey, the phase-out of coal is demanded, and in Cameroon, an ecological march with a plastic waste cleanup action takes place. The text emphasizes Greenpeace's role as a pioneer of photo-activism and the commitment to exposing environmental injustice.

Thailand – Greenpeace Thailand activists unfurled a 17 by 7 meter banner with the message “YOUR GAS DEAL, OUR LOSS” at the opening of GasTech 2026, calling out the Thai government and fossil fuel industry while challenging their promotion of fossil gas and LNG expansion as a solution for energy security, economic growth and the climate crisis. Greenpeace Thailand is calling on the government and energy companies attending Gastech 2026 to halt further fossil gas expansion and accelerate a just transition to renewable energy, with greater investment in renewable power, energy efficiency, energy storage and modernised power grids.
