Greenpeace Pictures of the Week

A big fan of peace, an A-list red carpet, and a robust defence of science. Here are some of our favourite images from Greenpeace work around the world this week.

Aotearoa / New Zealand - To celebrate World Wind Day and mark the 100th day of Donald Trump's war on Iran, which has seen oil prices spike and cost of living rise worldwide as a result, Greenpeace Aotearoa activists visited Te Uku wind farm near Raglan and transformed wind turbines into peace signs with the message "THIS MACHINE STOPS WARS".

Germany - At the 2026 Bonn Climate Conference, a group of countries and civil society representative hosted by Friends of Science, spoke to the press to defend science as the heart of decision-making in the UNFCCC process, and discuss how science paves the way for a future that is secure, safe, and healthy for everyone.

Speakers included:
Manjeet Dhakal (Least Developed Countries Group)
Felix Wertli (Switzerland)
Sivendra Michael (Fiji)
Sindra Sharma, PHD, Pacific Islands Climate Action Network (PICAN)
Gabriel Kapka (Sierra Leone)

Spain - Greenpeace has used a thermal camera at high schools around the country to record temperatures far above recommended levels in public schools in Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Ourense, and Seville. This illustrates the heat endured by students and school staff during Spain's hottest days.

The organization joins forces with other organizations in the sector to demand urgent measures for air conditioning in classrooms and schoolyards. In the face of increasingly intense and frequent heat waves, public spaces must serve as climate-controlled refuges to prevent the worst effects of climate change on the health of children, who are especially vulnerable to high temperatures.

Malaysia - Over 1,500 Orang Asli and Orang Asal (indigenous people) from 6 different states in Peninsular Malaysia marched along the streets of Putrajaya's Persiaran Perdana to protest in front of the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development calling for the recognition of their customary land rights.

Kenya - To mark the start of the Our Oceans conference, volunteers and community members gathered at Pirates Beach/ Jomo Kenyatta Beach in Mombasa, Kenya around a sand installation carrying the message "The Ocean Connects Is All" to highlight the interconnected challenges facing coastal communities across Africa and the need for ocean protection

Netherlands - Greenpeace Netherlands activists hold banner at Allseas' ship in the Rotterdam harbour. Greenpeace warns Allseas that deep sea mining under American legislation is a violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and call on the government to take action.

USA - Actor and activist Jane Fonda on the red carpet at the the theatrical release of the Greenpeace documentary GASLIT, directed by Katie Camosy. The feature-length film followed actor and activist Jane Fonda as she traveled across the oil fields of Texas and Louisiana, visiting communities and hearing stories from those directly impacted by the petrochemical industry. Theatrical events were held in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, TX, Washington, DC, New Orleans, LA, and Oakland, CA.

The Netherlands - An Indigenous delegation from the Brazilian Amazon visits The Hague during their European tour. Alongside Eline Bosman (Program Director of Greenpeace Netherlands), the Indigenous leaders present the Amazon petition to Minister Jaimi van Essen (Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature). The core message of the petition is: protect the Amazon rainforest and stand with the Indigenous peoples.

Spain - Tens of thousands of people took part in A Illa de Arousa in a massive demonstration against the Altri/Greenfiber mega-cellulose plant project in Palas de Rei (A Ulloa, Galicia) and the reopening of the Touro-O Pino mine under the slogan "In defense of the Ulla River and the Arousa estuary. Let's stop Altri and the Touro-O Pino mine." Both projects would have a massive environmental impact on the Ulla River basin, which flows into the Arousa estuary-the most productive yet also the most environmentally degraded in Galicia.

Hawaii - Kanaka Maoli artist Kaiʻili Kaulukukui, Native Hawaiian leaders, and cultural practitioners dedicate a 6,500-square-foot mural in Kapālama Kai on Oʻahu inspired by the Kumulipo, the Hawaiian genealogical creation chant. The artwork reflects Native Hawaiian relationships with the ocean and comes as Indigenous leaders across the Pacific call for greater representation in decisions about ocean protection and deep sea mining.
