Greenpeace Canada

Who We Are

Greenpeace Canada is a branch of the global organization Greenpeace, which is dedicated to using peaceful, creative confrontation to expose environmental problems and advocate for solutions.

Founded in 1971 in Vancouver, Greenpeace has grown to become the world's most visible environmental organization, with offices in more than 55 countries and millions of supporters worldwide. Our mission is to ensure the earth's ability to nurture life in all its diversity by protecting biodiversity, preventing pollution, and promoting peace. We are an independent campaigning organization that uses non-violent direct action to draw attention to global environmental issues and push for the changes necessary to create a green and peaceful future.

What We Do

We work on various critical environmental issues, including climate change, deforestation, ocean conservation, and sustainable agriculture. Our campaigns are designed to create significant and lasting change through direct action, lobbying, research, and public engagement.

We prioritize projects that protect biodiversity, end pollution, and promote non-violence and disarmament. Our strategic approach combines grassroots activism with policy advocacy, ensuring that environmental protection remains at the forefront of public and political discourse.

Our efforts have led to significant victories, such as protecting the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia and successfully canceling the Energy East tar sands pipeline. We continue to campaign for renewable energy adoption, plastic-free oceans, protection of old-growth forests, and holding corporations accountable for environmental damage.
