An act of glacial solidarity, Trump spews oil, and the Arctic Sunrise joins a flotilla. Here are a few of our favourite images from Greenpeace work around the world this week. Comment below to tell us which you like best!
Switzerland – Activists from Greenpeace Switzerland hold banners at the Morteratsch Glacier, in solidarity against Energy Transfer's SLAPP (Strategic lawsuit against public participation). The American fossil fuel giant is attempting to silence critics by suing Greenpeace USA and Greenpeace International.
Spain – Greenpeace Spain activists displayed a giant image of Donald Trump vomiting oil onto a black-stained fountain in Madrid's Plaza de Colón, alongside the message in English: "No oil, no war". With this action, the environmental organisation is calling on the Spanish government to take a leading role during the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, an international summit starting this week in Santa Marta, Colombia, where, for the first time, more than 50 countries will begin to draw up a global roadmap to phase out oil, gas and coal.
Italy – The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise joins the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF); sailing alongside more than seventy vessels and over a thousand participants who seek to directly challenge Israel's ongoing blockade of aid to Gaza. The Arctic Sunrise's role will be to provide technical and operational maritime support so that the vessels safely transit across the Mediterranean before they complete the last 200 nautical miles to Gaza's shores.
South Korea – Greenpeace Seoul office participates in the 65th rally hosted by the "Palestine Solidarity Emergency Action by Korean Civil Society" to call for peace in the Middle East and around the world.
Scotland, UK – Greenpeace UK activists install a wind farm on a green of the Trump Turnberry Golf Club, together with a sign reading 'Choose Wind, Dump Trump'. Polling shows that roughly two-thirds of Scottish voters (65%) believe Britain should not follow US President Donald Trump's calls for increasing oil and gas extraction and should instead focus on boosting renewable energy.
Germany – Greenpeace Germany collaborates with Drag Queen Vicky Voyage to raise awareness how important diversity is everywhere during Pride month in June 2026. The fight for a healthy planet is also linked to the fight for a diverse society. This collaboration is intended to raise awareness of the protection of oceans and the arctic deep sea, connected to the deep sea mining campaign, coinciding with the Greenpeace expedition to explore the Arctic deep sea in May of this year.
Indonesia – Coinciding with Earth Day 2026, a civil society coalition holds a peaceful protest in front of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) office in Jakarta. The action aims to call on the Indonesian government to show leadership at the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels (TAFF), scheduled to be held in Santa Marta, Colombia, from April 24 to 29, 2026, and to reaffirm its commitment to a just transition away from fossil fuels.
