no name given · Greenpeace International · 2026-10-09 · Amsterdam · Source

Greenpeace uses photo activism to make environmental injustice visible and to pressure governments into taking concrete political action in the areas of plastics, climate, and housing.

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 image selection by Greenpeace that documents various actions by the organisation in several countries. The actions shown include a symbolic Muay Thai performance against plastic pollution in Bangkok, a demonstration against the reintroduction of conscription in Berlin, a flotilla action for the 1.5-degree target in Fiji, a protest against wildfire moguls in Indonesia, a climate march in Zurich, and a sit-in for affordable housing in Madrid. In addition, support for flood victims in Thailand is mentioned. The core message is that Greenpeace exposes environmental injustice through photo activism and advocates for political action. The text links local actions to global issues such as the climate crisis, plastic pollution, and housing. It positions Greenpeace as an actor in photo activism that has been active for over 50 years. The present-day relevance is immediate, as all actions respond to current political and ecological events.
