BREAKING: @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social activists scale Foreign Office with the message 'Lammy don't dally'. Ocean protection needs some political attention or the UK risks losing its place as a world leader. www.msn.com/en-gb/politi...

Watch now! Our film of last week's action outside Shell's HQ: We're at Breaking Point: youtu.be/BoaYq0950uI

Just back from Shell’s HQ. We’ve hit breaking point. We turned their London office into an exhibition of climate devastation—displaying flooded cases of typhoon-wrecked belongings from Filipino communities. Then, we smashed them. 🧵👇

Whilst Rachel Reeves spends Davos throwing Net Zero under the bus, we've been confiscating private jets.

We’ve lost a Greenpeace legend today. Pete Wilkinson, founder of Greenpeace UK in the 1970s, was still campaigning right up to the end. His passion and directness, always speaking truth to power, never wavered. Rest in peace, Pete.

Fascinating the number of arguments being used the UK in its submission regarding the EU challenge to reopen sandeel fishing in UK waters that could be applied against the UK's own approach to allowing industrial fishing to continue inside its MPAs: pcacases.com/web/sendAtta...

Some words from one of the activists whose charges were dropped after our protest at Unilever HQ: How a Police Crackdown on Climate Protests Made Me Join the Frontline for the First Time – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/01/17/c...

Great to see our Shell campaign work featuring heavily in this piece on why climate activism is turning to humour. Delivering a tiny violin to their CEO was a highlight of last year. on.ft.com/3Q3eMpn

Beautiful story from Greenpeace Arctic sailing expedition in 2024: "All sailors should be concerned about deep-sea mining. We are all dependent on a healthy ocean and shouldn’t allow a few companies to imperil it in the name of profit" #StopDeepSeaMining www.yachtingmonthly.com/cruising-lif...

Yesterday we were at Defra handing in our petition with over 1.6million signatures on it calling for a total ban on bee-killing pesticides. action.greenpeace.org.uk/ban-bee-kill...

A bolt of good news in an otherwise bleak landscape for protest rights - the charges against dozens of @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social activists after our protest outside Unilever HQ have been dropped! www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/charges...

Slightly belated, but that time of year to look back at 2024's reading (in chronological left to right). Always interested in reflections if you've read any of them, or recommendations for new books if you have them! 📖🤓 Top ten from the list in thread below (hard choices had to be made) 🔽

+++NEW ANALYSIS+++ UK electricity was the cleanest ever in 2024, with emissions per unit falling by more than two-thirds in a decade Highlights: 🏭end of coal power after 142yrs 🔥fossil fuels at record-low 29% share 🌄renewables at record-high 45% www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/9

Still looking back and processing what happened in 2024? Our @unearthednews.bsky.social team put together a list of their favourite environmental journalism of the year: unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/12/26/b...

We need your help! Our activists are still prohibited from leaving S Korea. They're under investigation for a peaceful action boarding a tanker loading toxic plastic chemicals. Help us request processes are expedited so #INC5Warriors can rejoin their loved ones. www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

Bravo Jack, @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social Legal Counsel! Named @thetimes.com lawyer of the week for his amazing work in our case against Shell. www.thetimes.com/article/dcc4...

'Incoming' by Eliot Weinberger in this week's @londonreview.bsky.social Time to get to grips with Trump's new cabinet... doesn't make for east reading

This diagram and chart from the latest @ipbes.bsky.social nexus assessment is amazing for demonstrating the various areas of focus we need when campaigning to restore nature on land. Would love to see the oceans equivalent of this.

Latest IPBES nexus assessment couldn't be clearer: Every single thing we do to restore nature also benefits the climate. This is why we campaign, amongst other things, to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, one of the quickest, & largest-scale solutions we have. www.carbonbrief.org/ipbes-nexus-...

Fantastic @bluemarinef.bsky.social Christmas event, getting the message out to parliamentarians that ocean protection needs to be a priority. Thanks to @annagelderdmp.bsky.social for speaking and hosting.

🚨 BREAKING: Shell backs down in lawsuit against Greenpeace. People power works! 🧵👇

BREAKING: Shell has backed down in their attempt to sue us @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social for £millions. Bullying tactics to silence peaceful protest don't work, and with the support of millions of people around the world we made sure we were not silenced. www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/shell-l...

Our investigation released today: "Despite a ban on their use in the UK...toxic pesticides are being legally exported around the world – with large volumes going to developing countries." The UK is facilitating a public health and environmental disaster. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Seven Stages of climate denial: 1. It's not real 2. It's not us 3. It's not that bad 4. We have time 5. It's too expensive to fix 6. Here's a fake solution 7. It's too late: you should have warned us earlier NZ’s dairy industry uses all of them to avoid reform. #TooManyCows #nzpol

On the roof at @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social with Areeba and @willmccallum.bsky.social before giving a talk to staff. I'm hoping everyone is as fascinated by the HoL as I am.

We stopped deep sea mining in the Arctic (for now at least)! Celebrate those victories when we get them. www.greenpeace.org/sweden/press...

This is very concerning - Musk is planning to donate $1m to Reform, which will be entirely legal unless a cap is imposed for political donations. @petergeoghegan.bsky.social makes a very clear case for why that reform needs to happen, urgently democracyforsale.substack.com/p/musks-100m...

Plastics Treaty negotiations end with no deal. news.un.org/en/story/202... From our brave activists climbing on a ship transporting plastic, to those working with delegations, we were clear: Time to stand up to the fossil fuel companies undermining progress. We need a strong treaty in 2026.

Time to Axe Drax! Ents and Christmas trees outside Dept of Energy and Net Zero now calling for an end to Govt subsidies for this destructive industry.

RIP John Prescott. Good hearing stories of his environmental ambition in the obituaries. Along that journey, back in 2005 @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social paid a visit to his house to install some solar panels (without his permission) - seems he also understood the importance of protest.

New @unearthednews.bsky.social @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social investigation out today. Oil companies had a secret plan to undermine progress to tackle plastic pollution. "They’re letting a running tap flood the house while trying to scoop up water with a teaspoon." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When will England follow Wales and Scotland and ban new waste incinerators? We cannot burn our way out of the plastic problem. www.theguardian.com/business/202... (v @theguardian.com)

👋 Hello Bluesky! 👋 We're a team of environmental journalists backed by Greenpeace UK. We investigate fossil fuels, intensive farming, greenwash, and pollution. Catch up on our back catalogue here: unearthed.greenpeace.org

Obsessing over whose figures are right in farmer protests misses the point. We need genuine open conversation that begins with understanding these protests represent a cumulative strength of feeling, largely the result of last Govt's actions, but also exacerbated by climate impacts.

‘Major oil companies, including Shell and precursors to energy giants Chevron, ExxonMobil and BP, were alerted about the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels as early as 1954’ @oceanauk.bsky.social @stopcambo.bsky.social @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Love this as a strategy from @theonion.com Bring some humour and lightness to diffuse the culture wars. on.ft.com/3CujSY7

Kicking off on Bluesky with some action! Today we blockaded Unilever HQ and hung a 13x8m banner on the front. It's the 20th anniversary of Dove's Real Beauty campaign Time for them to show some real leadership on the plastics crisis and end their Real Harm.
