Greenpeace is an international organisation, working across the globe on several priority campaigns. As well as the campaigns we're currently focusing on in the UK - climate change, protecting forests, defending oceans, and working for peace - other Greenpeace offices continue to work on challenging nuclear power, promoting sustainable agriculture and eliminating toxic chemicals.
Challenging nuclear power
Greenpeace has always fought - and will continue to fight - vigorously against nuclear power because it is an unacceptable risk to the environment and to humanity. The only solution is to halt the expansion of all nuclear power, and for the shutdown of existing plants.

You don't have to be Einstein to work here...
In a shock to the scientific community, neonicotinoids,
- or neurotoxic agricultural insecticides - have been shown in laboratory tests to
cause brain damage in bees.
Actually, it wasn’t that much of a shock. There’s
never been any doubt over the potential of these chemicals to harm bees - the
recent controversy has been over dosage.

One of the world's largest leather suppliers, and Brazil's second-largest beef
exporter today backed Greenpeace's call for a moratorium on the purchase of
cattle from farms involved in new deforestation in the Amazon with immediate
effect. (1).
Bertin's announcement follows tough new policy statements
from shoe retailers such as Clarks, Nike, Timberland, Geox and Adidas, in
response to a Greenpeace report entitled Slaughtering the Amazon, which was
released in June.

The global sportswear company Nike has announced that it
is to stop buying leather from the Amazon region of Brazil,
following concerns that its shoes and trainers could be driving the destruction
of the world's largest rainforest and contributing to climate change.
