Our investigations are a fundamental part of
our campaigns. We expose those responsible for environmental crimes. We have a
global reach, we have research teams and millions of supporters in countries
around the world. This means we can investigate environmental crimes and
impacts wherever they are happening, whether it is the middle of the jungle, or
even, with the help of Rainbow Warrior and its sister ships, in the far oceans.

In this episode of our podcast we're trying something new - James hosts a round-table discussion with solutions adviser Nathan, coal campaigner Emma and new web editor Christian about what Greenpeace stands for, and (in the run up to the UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen this December) whether we're going the right way about tackling the greatest challenge we've ever faced - minimising the effects of climate change.
Are we spending too much time lobbying national politicians directly, and not taking enough action at a local level? Do we talk too much about problems and not enough about the solutions?
The aim is to give you a bit more insight into the sort of discussions that go on between campaigners when they're planning a campaign, the various tools and techniques at our disposal, and the ways in which they can be combined to address the massive environmental threats we all face.
We are passionate about protecting the Earth – the only life support system we have. We are independent. That means we can tackle power, not problems. We do this by investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. We work to bring about change through political lobbying, citizen action and consumer pressure. And we will take peaceful direct action to protect this fragile planet and promote the solutions for a green and peaceful future.
Greenpeace was founded by a small group of activists in 1971. Today, we have a presence in more than 40 countries. While the size of the organisation may have changed, our commitment to defending the planet and promoting peace, to achieving positive change through action, and to realising our vision of a green and peaceful world is as strong as ever.
