Fighting plastic pollution with Muay Thai in Bangkok, holding the line at 1.5° in Fiji, and camping out for fair housing in Madrid, here are a few of our favourite images from Greenpeace work around the world this week.
Thailand – Greenpeace Thailand activists with a Muay Thai fighter stage a symbolic action outside the United Nations office in Bangkok, where Heads of Delegation (HODs) from Member States are meeting.
The action symbolises the need to "fight" plastic pollution at its source and calls on governments to put cuts in plastic production at the heart of a strong Global Plastics Treaty.
Germany – Greenpeace Germany speaks out against a potential reintroduction of compulsory military service and increasing militarisation in Germany, at a live concert and event in Berlin. The event focuses on the consequences of these policies for young people, as well as the demand for a security policy that does not rely solely on ever-increasing defence spending.
Fiji – Around 80 people including Pacific and Torres Strait community members, Elders and youth activists travelled as part of a colourful flotilla past the Pre-COP venues with a message for leaders: 'Keep 1.5°C Alive' – a reminder to leaders at the Pre-COP climate summit in Nadi, Fiji that the climate limit established under the Paris Agreement is a non-negotiable survival line for humanity.
Indonesia – Members of Greenpeace Indonesia Forest Fires Prevent Team (Tim Cegah Api) hold posters and banners during a protest over wildfire haze affecting Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Haze has covered the city for nearly two months, with air pollution reaching hazardous levels. The haze has also affected air quality in Singapore and Malaysia.
Switzerland – Greenpeace is marching through Zurich alongside approximately 7,000 other people, calling for "No 50°C summers!" Under the coalition's name, more than 70 organisations from civil society and the climate, health, environmental, and agricultural sectors are demanding immediate and effective measures to combat heat and protect the climate.
Spain – Greenpeace Spain participates in a sit-in for the right to decent housing at Puerta del Sol, Madrid.
Thailand – Greenpeace Thailand staff and volunteers support communities affected by severe flooding in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. The flooding, which began affecting the province on 25 September, has impacted 11 districts and more than 23,790 households.
Greenpeace has been a pioneer of photo activism for more than 50 years, and remains committed to bearing witness and exposing environmental injustice through the images we capture.
