UN climate negotiations begin in Poznan

It has been a year since governments in Bali pledged to nail down an agreement to save the climate by December 2009. That means they have one year left to agree on how to stop the climate crisis. This year’s UN meeting on Climate Change has just started in Poznan, Poland and we think it is about time for government leaders to stop the talking, get serious and start real negotiations.

The True Cost of Coal

If we are to avert catastrophic climate change the world must quit coal. But, the industry and the powerful forces which rely on it will not go down without a fight. Today, in Warsaw, Greenpeace, provided them with two reminders of why we should quit coal.

Greener Electronics – Major companies fail to show climate leadership

The latest edition of our Guide to Greener Electronics has revealed that very few firms are showing true climate leadership. Despite many green claims, major companies like Dell, Microsoft, Lenovo, LG, Samsung and Apple are failing to support the necessary levels of global cuts in emissions and make the absolute cuts in their own emissions that are required to tackle climate change.

Polish mine workers attack peaceful Greenpeace protest

Peaceful protesters from the Greenpeace Climate Rescue Station were attacked by mine workers when they entered the vast Jóźwin IIB open pit mine. As the activists prepared to paint a huge "Stop" sign next to a giant excavator they were assaulted and prevented from carrying out their peaceful protest. A journalist accompanying the activists was beaten. Local people are also against the expansion of this mine, because it threatens their homes and livelihoods.

نتحدى اليابان لوقف صيد الحيتان على مستوى العالم

بالرغم من منع صيد الحيتان التجاري، تستمر الحكومة اليابانية بارسال أساطيل السفن الى ملاذ الحيتان في المحيط الجنوبي لقتل ما يفوق الألف الحوت. في كل موسم، تنطلق الأساطيل باتجاه هذا الملاذ، ويموت المزيد من الحيتان عبثاً. ننشر هنا رسالة من منسقة حملة الحيتان العالمية في غرينبيس، عن الخطط القادمة لوقف صيد الحيتان.

Energy Revolution Now!

Greenpeace has published the second edition of the Energy [R]evolution scenario, updated with the latest economic, technical and population data. The Energy [R]evolution is the only energy scenario which shows how the world can cut emissions, phase out nuclear power, save money and maintain global economic development; without fueling catastrophic climate change. All we need to kick start this plan is bold energy policy from world leaders.

Philips back in the red again

Philips Electronics has long been in the red with a big fat zero on tackling e-waste in our Guide to Greener Electronics. Meanwhile, in Moscow’s Red Square, it is celebrating 110 years in Russia with its annual 'Sense and Simplicity' event. We did a spot of corporate gatecrashing to remind Philips that, after all these years, doing the right thing is still simple: take back and recycle.
