April 30, 2025 (Greenpeace (via LinkedIn)) –
Greenpeace posted 17 LinkedIn updates from April 23 to April 30, 2025. The environmental organization's posts covered a wide range of topics, including ocean conservation, climate change, corporate accountability, and social justice. Let's explore the key areas of focus for Greenpeace during this period.
Environmental Conservation and Biodiversity
Greenpeace continues to champion environmental conservation, with a particular focus on ocean protection and biodiversity. The organization shared interesting facts about dolphins' skincare routines, highlighting the intelligence of marine life and promoting their "Oceans: Life Under Water" podcast. This engaging content aims to increase public awareness and appreciation for marine ecosystems.
The urgency of protecting the Amazon rainforest was a recurring theme. Greenpeace emphasized the critical role of the Amazon in the global climate system, warning that the forest is approaching a tipping point. They reported a 497% surge in fire-driven degradation in 2024, pushing the forest closer to collapse. The organization is actively campaigning for governments to take immediate action to protect this vital ecosystem.

Climate Action and Corporate Accountability
Greenpeace is actively challenging corporate practices that contribute to climate change and environmental degradation. They called out JBS, a major agribusiness company, for its significant methane emissions and impact on the Amazon. The organization staged a protest at JBS's shareholder meeting to highlight the disconnect between corporate profits and environmental responsibility.
The campaign against fossil fuels continued with Greenpeace exposing Germany's state-owned energy company SEFE for allegedly buying Russian LNG, potentially violating EU sanctions and indirectly supporting the war in Ukraine. This highlights the organization's efforts to hold governments and corporations accountable for their energy choices and geopolitical implications.
Greenpeace also addressed the environmental impact of AI technology, revealing that AI queries consume significantly more energy than standard internet searches. They called on tech giants like NVIDIA and Samsung Electronics to invest in renewable energy solutions to power AI development sustainably.

Social Justice and Wealth Inequality
Greenpeace is increasingly linking environmental issues with social justice and wealth inequality. They highlighted how the richest 1% are responsible for more emissions than 66% of the world's population, advocating for taxing the super-rich to fund environmental protection and social support. This approach reflects a growing recognition of the interconnectedness between environmental and social issues.
The organization also addressed the politicization of social justice terms, particularly the word "woke." Greenpeace aims to reclaim the term's original meaning rooted in activism and social awareness, encouraging supporters to view it as a call to action for systemic change.

Innovative Campaigns and Public Engagement
Greenpeace is leveraging creative campaigns to engage the public and raise awareness. They announced "My Pet Footprint," an animated satire series aimed at exposing Big Oil's tactics and shifting the narrative on individual carbon footprints. This initiative demonstrates Greenpeace's effort to use humor and entertainment to convey serious environmental messages.
The organization is also actively seeking public participation through petitions and direct action. They're calling for signatures on petitions to protect the Amazon, implement a strong Global Plastics Treaty, and support ocean conservation efforts. These campaigns aim to mobilize public support and pressure policymakers to take decisive environmental action.
