Together, we can create a cleaner, greener future

Rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity. Our climate is in crisis and destructive industries continue to threaten our forests, oceans and air. But together we can overcome these challenges.

In an action to disturb a new deep sea mining impact test carried out by the company Global Sea Mineral Resources (GSR) after a recent major failure that resulted in a 25-tonne mining robot left stuck on the Pacific Ocean seafloor for days. An activist also holds a banner reading ‘Stop Deep Sea Mining’. The Greenpeace ship is in the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific to bear witness to the deep sea mining industry.

Rainbow Warrior's Welcome Ceremony in Funafuti, Tuvalu. © Greenpeace / Sam Pedro
A traditional dance is performed at the arrival of the Rainbow Warrior in Funafuti, the second stop of the Pacific Ship Tour. Traditional paopao (canoes) escorted the arriving ship to shore, where those aboard were welcomed by the community of Tuvalu, civil society groups, and addressed by Representatives from the Government of Tuvalu including the Hon. Prime Minister Kausea Natano and the Hon. Minister for Finance and Climate Change Seve Paeniu. Tuvalu is one of the most climate-vulnerable nations in the world. With much of the country sitting at less than three metres in elevation, sea level rise and storm surges are not only leading to tidal inundation, food insecurity and cultural loss, but present an immediate threat to Tuvalu’s future. During the visit, Greenpeace campaigners will meet with community and government leaders to listen and engage in ‘talanoa’ or discussion, and to learn how best to support Pacific climate demands. Greenpeace experts will continue gathering testimonies of climate harm to present to the world’s highest court as part of the historic, Pacific-led campaign for an advisory opinion at the International Court of Justice.
