June 20, 2025 (Greenpeace (via LinkedIn)) –
Greenpeace posted 17 LinkedIn updates from June 13 to June 20, 2025. The organization's posts covered a wide range of environmental and social justice issues, including plastic pollution, ocean conservation, fossil fuel opposition, climate change, and organizational updates. Let's explore the key areas of focus for Greenpeace during this period.
Environmental Activism and Campaigns
Greenpeace demonstrated its commitment to direct action and awareness campaigns across various environmental issues. In a bold move, activists confronted Coca-Cola at their corporate office in Johannesburg, highlighting the company's role in flooding Africa with plastic waste. This action underscores Greenpeace's strategy of holding corporations accountable for their environmental impact.
In the realm of ocean conservation, Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior crew took decisive action in the Tasman Sea, saving nine sharks from deadly longlines. This operation not only rescued endangered species but also removed approximately 20 kilometers of fishing gear and over 210 hooks from the ocean, disrupting industrial fishing operations. Such actions highlight Greenpeace's hands-on approach to protecting marine life and ecosystems.
The organization also celebrated progress on the High Seas Treaty, with 49 countries ratifying the agreement at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice. Greenpeace emphasized the importance of reaching 60 ratifications to bring this landmark ocean conservation agreement into force, showcasing their focus on international environmental policy.

Opposition to Fossil Fuels
Greenpeace continued its strong stance against fossil fuel expansion. The organization highlighted a significant development from the United Nations, where the Special Rapporteur on climate and human rights called for a ban on all new fossil fuel projects. This aligns with Greenpeace's ongoing campaign for an EU-wide ban on new fossil fuel infrastructure, emphasizing the incompatibility of such projects with climate obligations and human rights.
In Romania, Greenpeace celebrated a victory when state-owned gas company Romgaz dropped its legal bid to dissolve Greenpeace Romania. This lawsuit, viewed as an intimidation tactic, was triggered by Greenpeace's opposition to the Neptun Deep fossil gas project. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to exposing the dangers of fossil gas and advocating for a fossil-free future.

Climate Justice and Education
Greenpeace's commitment to climate education was recognized when Greenpeace Germany won the UNESCO "National Award - Education for Sustainable Development" in the multiplier category. The organization's education team was praised for creating teaching materials, providing climate education through the "Schools for Earth" project, and certifying schools committed to climate protection.
The organization also emphasized the importance of taxing polluters to pay for the climate crisis, advocating for a shift in financial responsibility from individuals to the industries contributing most to environmental degradation.

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Protection
Greenpeace highlighted the critical role of the Amazon rainforest in global climate regulation and biodiversity protection. The organization launched a petition against illegal gold mining in the Amazon, which is not only destroying forests but also poisoning rivers, wildlife, and Indigenous communities. With the upcoming Climate Conference in Belém, Brazil, Greenpeace sees an opportunity to take real action against these destructive practices.
In Southeast Asia, Greenpeace drew attention to Thailand's rich mangrove ecosystems, nature's climate protectors, which are at risk from projects like the Landbridge. The organization called for supporters to stand for Ocean Justice by signing a petition to protect these crucial ecosystems.

These postings reflect the organization's growth and its need for skilled professionals to support its environmental and social justice initiatives worldwide.
Other Initiatives
Greenpeace also highlighted a new documentary, "Dumped: a waste picker's story," which explores the human cost of the plastic crisis. The organization celebrated advancements in seawater-degradable plastic by Japanese scientists and the successful breeding of Tasmanian devils in mainland Australia. Additionally, Greenpeace East Asia shared an article about the diverse expressions of Pride across different regions, emphasizing the organization's commitment to inclusivity and human rights alongside environmental protection.
In conclusion, Greenpeace's LinkedIn activity during this period showcases a multifaceted approach to environmental and social justice issues. From direct action against corporate polluters to policy advocacy, education initiatives, and wildlife conservation efforts, Greenpeace continues to position itself as a leading force in the global environmental movement, driving change across multiple fronts.
