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.

MANDAN, N.D. (May 27, 2025) – In a second post-trial hearing, District Court Judge Gion decided to withhold any rulings as Greenpeace defendants again met Energy Transfer plaintiffs in a North Dakota state court.

With the ACT Party’s Regulatory Standards Bill now before the Finance and Expenditure Committee, having passed its first reading in parliament last week, parallels with the now abandoned Treaty Principles Bill have already been drawn. Lawyer Tania Waikato, who led an urgent Waitangi Tribunal claim before the bill was introduced, has dubbed it “the Treaty Principles Bill 2.0”. The tribunal itself recommended the government “immediately halt [its] advancement”.
