Greenpeace (www.greenpeace.org) exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.
Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behavior, to protect and conserve the environment and promote peace. We investigate, expose and confront environmental abuse. We challenge the political and economical power of those who can effect change. We drive environmentally responsible and socially just solutions that offer hope for this and future generations. We inspire people to take responsibility for the planet. Greenpeace is taking action all over the world for our planet’s future. Our volunteers, activists and staff come from all corners of the globe, cover the age spectrum and come from all walks of life. What they all have in common is their commitment to working for a green and peaceful future for everyone. With creative local actions for the planet they positively affect their communities, their countries, and ultimately, the world at large.
Climate & Energy Context
As indefinite growth can continue in a limited world, the next decades will bring unprecedented change to environment, societies and economies. Reaching the limits of growths within our live span will trigger disruptions of our economies that will force societies to take action to increase resource productivity and reduce consumption. A fossil fuel dominated energy and transport system will be in the center of the transformation and Climate Change will be among the disruptions threatening access to essentials like food and water. Change will not come at steady pace, but in the form of multiple crises, rapid and unpredictable. But the good news is that there will be a lot of change happening of the kind, environmental organizations have advocated for a long time. The major challenges for the Greenpeace Climate & Energy team is to anticipate the faces and dynamics of future crises, to provide a framework of applicable narratives for public communication and to identify strategies to mobilize key audiences to accelerate change and steer it in the right direction.
