Greenpeace

Greenpeace is a global environmental organization that operates in more than 40 countries, with its main headquarters located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Established in 1971 by environmental activists Irving Stowe and Dorothy Stowe, who were originally from Canada and the US, Greenpeace aims to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity." The organization focuses on critical global issues, including climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and nuclear safety. To achieve its objectives, Greenpeace employs strategies such as direct action, lobbying, research, and ecotage. Unlike many organizations, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments, corporations, or political entities; instead, it is supported by 2.9 million individual donors and foundation grants. The organization holds general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and is a founding member of the INGO Accountability Charter, which promotes transparency and accountability among non-governmental organizations.

The Regulatory Standards Bill is Seymour’s next power grab

1 day ago | greenpeace.org | Nick Young

A deep dive into the bill that could change Aotearoa forever. The Regulatory Standards Bill (RSB) isn’t just another law – it’s a plan to hand more power to corporations, erase Te Tiriti o Waitangi from lawmaking, and make it harder for any future government to protect people or nature. David Seymour – the same politician who tried to rewrite our founding document – is back with a new bill, this time attempting to rewrite the constitutional and legal foundation of Aotearoa.

The “Prime Minister” enjoyed a bowl of pretend poisonous porridge on parliament steps with Greenpeace this morning. The breakfast at parliament, attended by a Christopher Luxon lookalike, highlights the Government’s proposal to raise the legal limit of glyphosate residues allowed in staple grains like wheat, oats and barley – from 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg – a 100-fold increase. For wheat, this new limit is double what’s permitted in Australia and Canada.

Australian election a warning shot for Luxon’s Trump-style agenda

1 week ago | greenpeace.org | Nick Young

The Australian election result has sent a clear message across the Tasman: voters will not tolerate Trump-style politics that fuel environmental destruction and ignore the climate crisis. “Australians chose to protect climate and nature over a coalition pushing fossil fuels, destruction, and division. That should be a wake-up call for political leaders here in Aotearoa,” says Greenpeace Aotearoa spokesperson Gen Toop. In Australia, Peter Dutton’s Coalition promised more offshore gas drilling.
