Greenpeace International | 2008 Annual Report 3

Message from theExecutive Director

There are times when, despite our bestefforts, we see history repeating itself. Thiswas the case for me in December 2009, atthe UN’s Climate Change Conference inCopenhagen, where the talks were meantto avert catastrophic climate change.Together with a wide coalition of civilsociety groups, Greenpeace workedtirelessly - under the banner of the GlobalCampaign for Climate Action (GCCA), ofwhich we were a founding member - togenerate the public interest and pressureneeded to make those talks a success.

That pressure compelled some 120 Headsof State to turn up for one of the largestgatherings of world leaders ever. Yetdespite the clear public call for a Fair,Ambitious and legally-Binding (FAB) climatedeal, all they produced was a feeble three-page Copenhagen Accord. The sense ofgreat disappointment we experiencedreminded me of the time when internationalattention was similarly focused on theGleneagles G8 meeting in 2005, which wassupposed to alleviate poverty. "The peopleroared and the G8 whispered," was all Icould think to say at the time - replace G8with ‘world leaders’ and you willunderstand my sense of déjà vu.

It is now clear that the only way bigchanges are going to happen is if civilsociety takes the power and compelspolitical and business leaders to act. Wemust have a say in what our future and thefuture of our children will look like. We mustmake political and business leadersunderstand that, if they do not act to avertclimate chaos, they will be replaced.

To achieve this, we must protect the rightto non-violent protest. After Copenhagen,four of our activists were held in jail for 22days for holding up a banner reading‘Politicians Talk, Leaders Act’ at a Heads ofState dinner held by the Danish Queen.The authorities’ response to this simplepeaceful protest was outrageouslydisproportionate. (The case continues: theactivists have yet to have their day in court.)

In an equal distortion of justice, JunichiSato and Toru Suzuki of GreenpeaceJapan - the ‘Tokyo Two’ - are facing ayear and a half in jail for exposingembezzlement at the heart of theJapanese taxpayer-funded whalingprogramme.

Without the right to speak truth to power,democracy will not survive. I seemaintaining the right of peaceful civildisobedience as one of Greenpeace'sgreatest challenges in the coming years.Copenhagen will not have been a completefailure if the synergy of civil society itfostered continues to grow: Greenpeacecan be one of the leaders in this newmovement.

While governments talked, Greenpeacewas taking action. A three-year undercoveroperation into Brazil’s booming cattleindustry provided incendiary evidence thatsome of the world’s top food, sports andfashion brands were unwittingly drivingmassive Amazonian deforestation andclimate change. Our report ‘Slaughteringthe Amazon’ received global mediaattention and within weeks a slew ofinfluential high street brands moved todistance themselves from the planet-damaging source of leather. In October,four of the biggest players in the globalcattle industry signed an agreement to stopbuying cattle from newly-deforested areasof the rainforest. A great victory and anexample of our work, in which solidresearch backed by non-violent directactions, powerful media outreach andpublic action brought corporate players tobook.

I first learned about Greenpeace as ayoung activist in South Africa. I have alwaysfelt that this organisation is a worldtreasure. When I took up my post asInternational Executive Director inDecember 2009, I felt incredibly honouredand proud to be part of Greenpeace’shistory - but, more so, excited to be part ofits future. Next year, 2011, will be the 40th

anniversary of the founding of Greenpeace:40 years of bearing witness, 40 years ofnon-violent direct action and 40 years ofcampaign victories that make us wellplaced to continue to take a leading role inpushing for a Green and Peaceful future.

2009 - the year in which the UN ClimateChange Conference – the ‘CopenhagenClimate Summit’ was held in Denmarkfrom 7 to 18 December. The decisions tobe made at this meeting would impactthe lives of everyone alive today, anddeterminine the shape of humanity’sfuture.

It was time to take off the gloves.Governments weren’t going to actunless they felt the pressure to do so.2009 was the year when everybodyneeded to mobilise for the climate –whether in their local communities,writing to their Heads of State, going ona march or taking part in non-violentdirect actions. Sitting back was nolonger going to be an option.

That we cannot change the climatescience was very clear. So, Greenpeaceknew that we would need to create thepolitical will to fight climate change.Here are just some examples of our workaround the world in the run-up to theSummit to highlight the growing climatecrisis and to urge world leaders to takeclinate action:

• Hundreds of Greenpeace activists fromacross Europe blocked the exits of theBrussels building where EU financeministers were discussing funding fordeveloping nations to both adapt to andmitigate climate change. The decisionsbeing made at their meeting would directlyimpact the ongoing global negotiationsand influence Europe’s position at theClimate Summit.

• Coal is the worst climate change pollutantof all fossil fuels, so as leaders of theworld’s most powerful nations arrived atthe G8 Summit in L’Aquila, Italy, in earlyJuly, over 100 Greenpeace activists fromaround the world occupied five coal-firedpower stations across the country,demanding that the G8 Heads of Statetake leadership on climate change, andthat they show leadership and break thedeadlock in climate negotiations insteadof pointing the finger of blame for inactionon developing nations.

• While we were busy taking action in Italy,Greenpeace climbers in the USA werebusy hanging a banner – with themessage ‘America Honours Leaders, NotPoliticians: Stop Global Warming’ - onMount Rushmore. Their challenge was toPresident Obama to show real leadership.His stated targets of returning emissionsto 1990 levels by 2020 were not enough.Greenpeace USA’s Executive Director PhilRadford warned, “If the rest of the G8descends to President Obama’s statedgoal … then our children will inherit aworld of droughts, famines and theclimate catastrophe that scientists arewarning us about.”

• Activists in Australia blockaded a coalexport terminal in Queensland when theoutcome of the Pacific Islands Forum inCairns left Pacific Islanders to fend forthemselves against the increasinglydevastating effects of climate change – itwas clear that their rich neighbours werenot offering them any real support.Greenpeace demanded that theAustralian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd andthe New Zealand Prime Minister John Keystopped putting the interests of bigpolluters over the survival of the PacificIslands.

• Greenpeace placed ice sculptures of 100children at the Temple of Earth in Beijing,China. The sculptures symbolised thedisappearing future of more than 1 billionpeople in Asia who are threatened withwater shortages by the changing climate.Made from glacial melt water from thesource of the Yangtze, Yellow and Gangesrivers, the sculptures marked the 100-daycountdown to Copenhagen ClimateSummit and the launch of the tcktcktckcampaign, an initiative of the GlobalCampaign for Climate Action (GCCA) ofwhich Greenpeace is a founding member.

• Dressed as Heads of State – including‘Barack Obama’ and ‘Angela Merkel’ -Greenpeace activists prevented ashipment of coal from being loaded onto atransport ship from a mine in Svalbard,1,400 km from the North Pole. The actionwas intended to prevent the 70,000 tonnecoal transport ship from bringing itsclimate-changing cargo to Europe.

2009 was the world’s best chance to avoidrunaway climate change. World leadersowed it to us all to set aside narrow short-term national self-interest, to safeguard ourfuture and to do what they were elected todo: lead.

Greenpeace called for Heads of State totake personal responsibility; to personallyattend the Summit and to personally delivera climate-saving treaty. But, despite havinga clear mandate from the people of theworld, Heads of State revealed themselvesto be just shallow politicians and not theleaders the world needed...

The Copenhagen Climate Summit,COP15, ranks as a historic failure. Itsmain outcome – the three-pageCopenhagen Accord – is nowhere nearthe fair, ambitious and legally binding(FAB) agreement that millions of peopledemanded that world leaders commit toin December 2009. As a result, we areaccelerating right into the danger zone;the Accord translates into a more than3°C rise in global temperatures, theconsequences of which will bedevastating for humanity and theplanet we live on.

We knew that it would not be an easy win,and Greenpeace made a huge effortalongside the rest of civil society to putpressure on the Heads of States, heads ofdelegations and delegation membersduring the conference in Copenhagen.

We wanted Summit participants to get themessage from the moment they arrived, soour ad campaign ‘I’m Sorry’ appeared inCopenhagen International Airport as well asin the flight magazines CNBC and Voyager,each covering 40 airlines as well asbusiness class airport lounges and hotelsuites and lobbies throughout December.Supported financially by the partnerorganisations in the coalition GCCA,

Greenpeace greeted delegation members,heads of delegations and Heads of Statewith portraits of 10 world leaders, amongothers Barack Obama, Angela Merkel andNicolas Sarkozy, datelined 2020 and allsaying, ‘I’m sorry. We could have stoppedcatastrophic climate change. We didn’t’.

Media from all over the world printedpictures of the ads and reported on themand the Greenpeace demands. In Brazil, forexample, around 160 million people wereestimated to have been presented with theads via the media.

On 12 December the streets ofCopenhagen were packed with people fromall over the world demanding that worldleaders take action at the climateconference. More than 75,000 peoplegathered at the Danish Parliament andspent hours walking to the Bella Centrewhere the conference was taking place.

The people’s demands were loud and clear:‘There is no Planet B’, ‘Nature doesn’tcompromise’, ‘Change the politics’ andmore. The demonstration was arranged bya huge coalition of organisations, includingGreenpeace, and it became the biggestprotest against climate change inDenmark’s history.

In spite of the public call for action, the BellaCentre was becoming a crime scene ratherthan a platform for climate solutions andglobal cooperation. To further highlight theneed for action, a group of Greenpeaceactivists therefore made headline newsaround the world on 17 December as theymanaged to enter the banquet for worldleaders, hosted by the Danish Queen. Theactivists from Norway, Spain and

Switzerland managed to display bannersreading ‘Politicians Talk – Leaders Act’, butthey were quickly arrested and held incustody by the Danish police without bail ortrial until 7 January. Meanwhile, the realcriminals were eating cake and fleeing thescene of their crime with a weak politicalagreement that leaves the future of theplanet and billions of lives in peril.

Scientists say that we have only a few yearsleft to stop the rise in greenhouse gasemissions and make the kind of rapidreductions that would give us the bestchance of avoiding catastrophic climatechange. We cannot change that science, soinstead we will have to change the politics.However, the COP in Copenhagen made itclear that we may also very well have tochange the politicians.

Bearing this in mind, the job is not yet done.Hundreds of millions of people can still besaved from the devastation of a warmingworld. But it is no secret that the inaction inCopenhagen made the road a lot harder totravel than it needed to be.

Two years have passed since worldleaders promised all of us a deal tostop climate change. Greenpeace willcontinue the hard work and pressureuntil this promise is kept.

The task of tackling climate change, thebiggest environmental threat of ourtimes, could not be more urgent, and in2009 we directed our creativity andenergy towards those issues in which wemost urgently needed to make adifference.

With tackling climate change our clearglobal priority, we continued the launch ofour Energy [R]evolution, which provides asustainable energy solution for countries allover the world while drastically reducinggreenhouse gas emissions. We launchedEnergy [R]evolution scenarios for Argentina,Canada, Chile, Greece, India, Italy, Russia,South Africa, Turkey and the USA,promoting our reports in internationalconferences, in meetings with high-rankingofficials and with industry representatives,scientists and members of the public,showing how it is possible to have a greenenergy revolution.

We confronted Canada’s Tar Sands industry– the world’s biggest producer ofgreenhouse gas emissions from oil.Activists blocked trucks and conveyors toprevent the extraction of tar sand and therelease of toxic and carcinogenic chemicalsinto the environment. These activities, alongwith a spectacular film documentary andactions by Greenpeace in Europe, helped toexpose Canada’s dirty secret and builtpressure on the Canadian government.

Coal is the single biggest driver of climatechange globally, and with alternatives tocoal readily available, the prevention of newcoal-fired power stations remained a centralgoal for Greenpeace. Important campaignvictories were secured, such as that in theUK where the power company E.ONshelved its plans to build a massive newcoal plant at Kingsnorth following severalyears of campaigning by Greenpeace.

We also continued our work to expose therisks and dangers of nuclear energy, as thenuclear energy industry seized upon theclimate crisis as an opportunity to promoteitself as a viable and safe energy alternative.In Finland, the UK and the USA, designapprovals for European PressurisedReactors were delayed, and we also visitedthe French nuclear power companyAREVA’s two uranium mines in Niger,documenting the dangerous levels ofradiation that is the company’s legacy left tothe Nigeriens.

2009 also saw the launch of our climatechallenge to the IT sector, in which weassessed the performance of the industryon climate issues and its CO2 emissions.We were successful in pushing two chiefexecutives – of Dell and Cisco – to speakpublicly about the role of the industry inproviding solutions for climate change andto support the need for CO2 reductions.

After a 3 year undercover investigationby Greenpeace into Brazil’s boomingcattle industry – the single largest sourceof deforestation in the world, and Brazil’smain source of CO2 emissions –Greenpeace released ‘Slaughtering theAmazon’. This report showed how topfood, sports and fashion brands wereunwittingly driving the deforestation ofthe Amazon rainforest. We had managedto track beef, leather and other cattleproducts from ranches involved indestroying the heart of the Amazon allthe way back to the supply chains of topbrands.

The report was extensively covered inglobal media, and the reaction to it was fastand furious. Within weeks, Nike, Adidas,Timberland, Clarks and Geox announcedthey would not buy leather from theAmazon until their suppliers committed toan immediate moratorium on any furthercattle expansion in the rainforest. WalmartBrazil committed to a zero deforestationsupply-chain policy and, in October, four ofthe biggest players in the global cattleindustry (JBS-Friboi, Bertin, Minerva andMarfrig) joined forces and signed anagreement to stop buying cattle fromnewly-deforested areas of the rainforest.

This was a significant step in the battle forAmazon protection, and built on themoratorium we achieved in 2006, to stopcompanies buying soya from newlydeforested areas in the Amazon.

Meanwhile, in October we opened aClimate Defenders camp in the heart of theIndonesian rainforest to highlight the needfor a good plan and substantial funds forinternational forest protection as part of theglobal plan to reduce greenhouse gasemissions. Working with local communities,Greenpeace stopped carbon-richpeatlands from being drained anddestroyed by building a series of dams. Thedestruction of peatlands releases millions oftonnes of greenhouse gases each year anddestroys river ecosystems.

Greenpeace also took direct action againstIndonesian pulp and paper giants APP andAPRIL, raising international awareness ofthe plight of the threatened KamparPeninsula and the inextricable connectionbetween forest destruction and globalclimate disaster. In December, we alsowelcomed the news that Unilever hadagreed to drop its palm oil contract with theIndonesia's notorious Sinar Mas, 18months after we exposed its connection tothe company.

In Canada, the Great Bear Rainforestprotection agreement came into force,protecting an area of Canadian forest halfthe size of Switzerland from logging. Thiswas a result of one of Greenpeace’s longestrunning campaigns. It was won through theuse of non-violent direct action on theground, consumer pressure, stakeholderactions, meeting face-to-face withgovernment and industry officials, and bythousands of online activists worldwide.

Kimberly-Clark - the world’s largestmanufacturer of tissue products and bestknown for popular brands like Kleenex,Scott, Andrex and Cottonelle – announcedan environmental policy that placed itamong industry leaders in sustainability,bringing Greenpeace’s five-year Kleercutcampaign to a successful end. Thecompany agreed to use FSC-certified andrecycled pulp and to end the use of fibrefrom endangered forests.

In Europe, the Finnish government-ownedlogging company Metsähallitus agreed tonot log 100,000 hectares of old-growthforests in northern Lapland and a further200,000 hectares of non-productive forestswere put off-limits to logging followingseven years of pressure by Greenpeace.

During 2009, Greenpeace pushed for thecreation of pilot marine reserve areas in thePacific and the Mediterranean. Greenpeaceis campaigning for a global network ofmarine reserves-areas of ocean off-limits tofishing, mining, drilling and other extractiveactivities - to cover 40% of the world’soceans. This is a necessary step if we are torestore our oceans and fish stocks back tohealth.

Greenpeace’s work to expose illegal fishingand overfishing in the Pacific helped prompta decision to close two out of four priorityhigh seas pockets to purse-seining as ofJanuary 2010. Greenpeace’s work tomobilise consumers in key market countriesfor Pacific tuna products also increaseddemand for tuna coming from sustainableand equitable sources. This helped to restart’pole and line‘ tuna fishing industries inseveral Pacific Island Countries, which havethe potential to deliver socio-economicbenefits for the coastal communities wholive there.

In the Mediterranean, Greenpeace hasfocussed efforts to move two proposedmarine reserves forward: the Balearics andthe Sicilian Channel, both important tunaspawning grounds. The overfishing of bluefintuna in the Mediterranean is the most visibleexample of how politics and fisheriesmanagement have failed our oceans.

All over Europe, North America and Australia,Greenpeace’s seafood red lists and rankingsof retailer sustainability and seafood sourcingpolicies were the main tools used to movesupermarkets towards sourcing seafoodfrom sustainable sources only.

In 2009 Greenpeace's Polar MarineReserves team spent much of the yearconducting research and networking withscientists, Arctic indigenous peoples, othernon-governmental organisations andofficials. 2009 saw the first marine reserveestablished in the Southern Ocean, close tothe South Orkney islands, an importantprecedent. In 2010, Greenpeace willcontinue to campaign for the entire Ross Seato be established as a marine reserve, andwill also build upon its work in the Arcticregion.

In 2008, a four-month undercoverinvestigation by Greenpeace Japan hadrevealed evidence of an embezzlement ringinvolving crew members on board theJapanese factory whaling ship Nisshin Maru,who were taking the best cuts of whale meatduring the so-called scientific whaling huntand bringing it ashore disguised as boxes ofpersonal belongings. However, it was JunichiSato and Toru Suzuki of Greenpeace Japanwho were subsequently arrested andcharged with theft of the whale meat theyhad presented to the authorities as evidence,

and with trespass at the transportation depothandling the boxes. The case of the ‘TokyoTwo’ – as Sato and Suzuki would come to beknown – drew international attention, withprotests being staged outside Japaneseembassies around the world.

In November 2009, over 3,000 lawyers,individuals and organisations – includingAmnesty International – wrote to the TokyoSupreme Court in support of the defendants’appeal that important evidence - includingpolice files and statements by the owners ofthe embezzled whale meat – should bedisclosed during the trial. The appeal wasrejected, depriving the Tokyo Two ofimportant means of proving their innocence.

The trial of the Tokyo Two would begin inFebruary 2010, but in January the UnitedNations Working Group on ArbitraryDetention already found that, in Sato andSuzuki’s attempts to expose a scandal in thepublic interest, their human rights had beenbreached by the Japanese government.Corrupt government practices, Japan’sadherence to international law, freedom ofspeech and the right of individual protestcame under the spotlight, alongside thecommercial killing of whales. Whaling itselfmust be put on trial. With the verdictexpected in the summer of 2010, the TokyoTwo know they risk up to 10 years in jail; theyalso know that to say nothing or do nothingrisks so much more.

In 2009 the International Assessment ofAgricultural Knowledge, Science andTechnology for Development (IAASTD) –the first and most comprehensive globalassessment on this subject - publishedits report, ‘Agriculture at a Crossroads’,proposing changes in agriculture policy.We published our own review -‘Agriculture at a Crossroads: Food forSurvival’ - joining the IAASTD in callingfor fundamental change in farmingpractices, in order to address soaringfood prices, hunger, social inequitiesand environmental disasters.

In China, we exposed scandals ofcontamination of pesticides and GE in food,while campaigners in India focused theirwork on challenging the country’s fertiliserpolicy. In both countries we have set upplatforms for the discussion of agriculture,to encourage the debate around and thepromotion of ecological farming methodsand national policies to encourage theuptake of agriculture among farmers.

Globally, Greenpeace worked towardsprotecting rice – the crop most vulnerable tocontamination by the commercial growingof genetically-engineered (GE) rice. Inparticular, we established Greenpeace as akey player in the promotion of ecologicalfarming in Asia.

A key achievement of this work throughoutthe year was ensuring that there was noapproval of GE rice for commercialcultivation in China, Brazil or Europe. Weapplied pressure on governments anddecision-makers so that the timetables forcommercial planting of GE rice were rolledback. Because of the several scandals wehad exposed in China that involved GE rice,investment was successfully diverted backinto research.

Greenpeace organised a petition againstthe potential legislation that would allow theintroduction of GE rice in Europe. Thepetition was presented to the EUCommissioner for Health in Brussels byfarmers from Spain, Sweden and Thailand.The Thai farmer was 62 year old SamniengHuadlim, the owner of the organic rice fieldin which Greenpeace mapped out andplanted a giant ‘rice art’ picture; the picturedepicted a traditional Thai rice harvest, andbecame the symbol for our campaign.Samnieng had switched to organic farmingover the last five years. As well as beingbetter for the environment - when shestopped using chemical pesticides, shesaw the earthworms returning to her fields -she also found that she was able toincrease her income and reduce her costs.Momentum is now growing in Thailand forachieving the first ban on GE rice globally.

Thanks to Greenpeace’s work, thesefarmers were able to bring their message toEU decision-makers: Ecological farming isthe choice they have made to producehealthy, good quality food and to sustaintheir families. With their personal accountsdocumented in the Greenpeace report‘Testimonies of Contamination’, the farmerswere able to reveal some of the disastrousconsequences of GE contamination, as wellas promote the benefits of switching toecological farming.

Campaigningfor Greener Agriculture:Ecological Farming


CanadaFor the past 5 years, Greenpeace’scampaign has been supported bytens of thousands of activists todemand that Kimberly-Clark stopdestroying ancient forests likeCanada’s Boreal Forest. There wasa major victory when the company– as a result of this public pressure– released a new policy governinghow it will help conserve forestsand support sustainable forestryand use more recycled fibre.

Over the past four years Greenpeacehas played an integral role in changingthe way the electronics industry doesbusiness. Vital steps have been madein offering greener products by majorindustry players, including Philips,Nokia, Sony Erickson, Apple andSamsung. ‘Green IT’ became abuzzword in media around the world.

As a result of Greenpeace's 'Green MyApple' campaign, Apple cleared the lasthurdle in removing polyvinyl chloride (PVC)plastic from its products, paving the way forother companies to follow suit. We werealso able to use Apple’s example to pushcompanies like Hewlett Packard (HP) whohad started to backtrack on theircommitments to eliminate toxic chemicalsfrom their products and take fullresponsibility for the recycling of their ownproducts that have reached the end of theiruseful lives. After a successful protest at itsUS HQ, HP became the second companyto put a greener PC on the market. We willcontinue to push for Dell and Samsung, thetop market leaders of the electronicsindustry, to deliver on their own promisesand commitments for 2010 and beyond.

An undercover investigation revealed thatelectronic waste – e-waste - was not beingresponsibly recycled as it should have beenbut was instead being disguised assecond-hand goods We took a broken TVin the UK, fitted it with a tracking device,and took it to be recycled. We discoveredthat it was actually shipped off to Nigeria,where it would be sold, scrapped or illegallydumped. Our exposé made headlinesglobally. It put the e-waste issue firmly backon the agenda of European governments,with the Netherlands, Belgium and the UKall acting to restrict illegal shipments of e-waste. In India, Greenpeace India togetherwith IT industry stakeholders submitted adaft e-waste regulation to the centralgovernment, to control e-waste generationand management in India. The regulationincludes clear standards for the eliminationof hazardous substances from electronicproducts, producer responsibility for thecollection, recycling and treatment costs ofe-waste, and a ban on the import of anykind of second-hand electronic or electricalequipment to India.

2009 was also the year in which weincreased the scope of our toxicscampaign, as we focussed on tacklingwater contamination and industrial pollutionin the global south.

The first direct exposé of industrial waterpollution in China took the form of ascientific report analysing the presence ofhazardous chemicals in the Pearl RiverDelta. Our work began to position us as acredible scientific voice in the country andas a challenging voice to industry. We alsoexposed examples of water contamination,in Southeast Asia, Russia and Argentina. Inthis last country, our efforts culminated inthe endorsement of our demands for zerodischarge by the High Court Judge incharge of the ‘Riachuelo Clean-up Case’ inBuenos Aires.

Greenpeace International’s ScienceUnit (Greenpeace ResearchLaboratories) is based at the Universityof Exeter in the UK. The Science Unitprovides scientific advice andanalytical support to Greenpeaceoffices worldwide and over a widerange of disciplines, includingtoxicology, organic and inorganicanalytical chemistry, biochemistry andterrestrial and marine ecology. Havinga dedicated Science Unit means thatscientific analysis and research can behighly targeted to the specificrequirements of Greenpeacecampaigns, both in terms of whatresearch is carried out and the speedwith which it can be carried out whenneeded.

During the course of 2009, the Science Unitmoved to new laboratories within theUniversity, equipped with state-of-the-artfacilities for sample handling, enabling thescientists to work more even moreefficiently. The analytical capabilities of theUnit, including hardware and expertise inenvironmental chemistry which haveapplication across most campaign areas,have helped to maintain and strengthen theScience Unit’s credibility and thereforeengagement in the scientific world, in turnbringing many benefits for Greenpeace.

In 2009, the Science Unit published a booksummarising the state of the world’s oceansand underpinning the scientific basis of ouroceans campaign, including chapters onfisheries, aquaculture, chemical pollutionand the consequences of ever-increasinggreenhouse gas emissions exerted throughboth climate change and oceanacidification. The book has received verypositive reviews and looks set to beadopted as a reference text for a number ofUniversity undergraduate courses.

In the lead up to Copenhagen, our ScienceUnit continued to advise on the science ofclimate impacts, including the complexity oflinks to sea level rise, monsoons andextreme weather events. Other climatework focused on challenging falsesolutions, including carbon capture andstorage (CCS) and the wide array of large-scale climate intervention techniques beingproposed under the banner of‘geoengineering’. For example, wecontinued within the London Convention toexpose the increasingly discredited scienceof ocean fertilisation, a techniqueexemplified early in 2009 by the jointGerman-Indian LOHAFEX experiment in theSouthern Ocean, carried out incontravention of the Convention onBiological Diversity (CBD) moratorium onsuch activities. More worrying still is thecontinued pressure from commercialinterests in such unverifiable and potentiallydamaging manipulations of our oceans andatmosphere in the name of climate changemitigation.

Also in the field of climate science, wefurther developed our expertise on REDD(Reducing Emissions from Deforestationand Forest Degradation), highlighting alsothe forest protection and biodiversity issueswhich make it essential that we do notsimply see forests as carbon. Other workdocumented the contribution togreenhouse gas emissions of forest firesand challenged the concept of ‘sustainablemanagement of forests’ for climatemitigation. Furthermore, the Unithighlighted the significance of oceanacidification, a potentially devastatingconsequence of increasing CO2 emissionswhich is independent from climate change,and began preparations for a major ship-based scientific project scheduled for 2010.

Meanwhile, work in Exeter continued tofocus on links between agriculture andclimate and influential input to the WorldBank’s Agriculture Assessment, as well asthe hazards of genetically modified foodssuch as GE rice and maize.

Support for Greenpeace’s project on waterpollution in the South really took off in 2009,with the Science Unit carrying out majoranalytical projects on effluent discharges tothe Riachuelo River in Argentina and to thePearl River Delta in China, as well as smallerprojects in Thailand, Philippines and parts ofEastern Europe. The Unit also contributedits long experience of chemicalsmanagement and environmental protectionregulations to support the development of afirst, coherent policy blueprint for theprevention of water pollution inindustrialising countries as well as running avery successful science skill-share forcampaigners from China, Russia andSoutheast Asia.

Arctic Sunrise

On June 10, the Arctic Sunrise began anexpedition to highlight the impacts ofclimate change on the Arctic, in the lead-up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit.It was a science-driven expedition, andGreenpeace worked with leadingscientists and glaciologists to highlightthe reality and severity of climate changeimpacts in the region. This expeditionwas one of the most daring everundertaken by Greenpeace – the ArcticSunrise travelling to the highest latitude,north or south, ever achieved by aGreenpeace ship.

The tour helped support scientistsworking to understand why the speed ofthe melt is outstripping predictions, andto bear witness to the loss of this uniqueecosystem. Greenpeace worked withthe team of onboard scientists toconduct surveys of the rate of melting,survey cracks in the glaciers and find outhow ocean currents are changing themelt patterns. Through fantasticcommunications work, the expeditionreceived excellent media coverageglobally, helping spread the messageabout the urgency of climate change – amessage that was brought directly to theUN when the Arctic Sunrise travelled toCopenhagen in December, to be presentduring the Climate Summit.

Esperanza

The Esperanza undertook a tour of thePacific, where among other thingsGreenpeace monitored the impacts ofclimate change on the Pacific Islandcommunities. The ‘Defending OurPacific’ tour also coincided with the two-month ban from August throughSeptember, on the use of fishaggregation devices (FADs). After 10weeks, our journey revealed the extentof the problems caused by fishing in thePacific high seas – not only were piratefishing and overfishing continuing in thearea, but regulations put into place byPacific countries to prevent the transferof fish at sea – a well-known way for fishto be stolen from the region – were beingignored and the two-month FAD ban wasbeing widely flouted.

RainbowWarrior

The Rainbow Warrior spent time at thebeginning of 2009 travelling aroundScandinavia and documenting thedamage being done to the seabed bybottom trawling in the region. Thesummer was taken up with the‘Defending Our Mediterranean’ MarineReserves tour. Here, she completed amonitoring survey of the CentralMediterranean purse seine fishinggrounds finding that, after a decade ofmassive overfishing and illegal catchesin the area, the bluefin tuna stock was inserious decline and in danger ofimminent collapse.

In December, the Rainbow Warriortravelled to Copenhagen, to join withother Greenpeace vessels in the areaduring the Copenhagen Climate Summit.

Our Ships

A NewWarrior

Our famous fleet of ships will bejoined by a new Rainbow Warrior,purpose-built from the keel up tofight the greatest threat to the worldand our oceans - climate change.

After a long and thorough planningand design process, the newRainbow Warrior will continue oursailing traditions and begin a newchapter in the history of our fleet: acustom-built high seas sailing ship,highly fuel-efficient with the bestgreen marine technology.

At 52 years of age and after 20 yearsof successful environmentalcampaigning around the world, thecurrent Rainbow Warrior isapproaching its recommendeddecommissioning date and needs tobe replaced. The new ship has beendesigned by Gerard Dijkstra andPartners in Amsterdam, TheNetherlands, and will be built byFassmer, a shipbuilding company inBremen, Germany. Although the firstpiece of steel won't be cut until early2010, preparations for the ship havealready started, and it will belaunched in 2011, our 40thanniversary year.


Greenpeace can only take risks and confront othersbecause of our political and economic independence– we do not accept funding from any government orcorporation. Our independence gives us authority andcredibility.

We are financially supported by individuals and trustswho believe in our aims. By the end of 2009,Greenpeace donors numbered 3 million. The future ofthe environment rests with these millions of peoplearound the world who share our beliefs and whocontinue to financially support us.

We thank all of these donors. Becauseof them, Greenpeace is able to tackle environmentalproblems and promote solutions. Together with them,the power to change things is global.

I am 33 years old and a mother ofthree children. The reasons Isupport Greenpeace are obvious. Ibelieve we need to take care of theplanet we live on. I also like it thatGreenpeace is not ‘owned’ by anycorporations and does not takemoney from governments.

Lynn Hardy

I'm a Naturopathic Doctor and themother of a 12-year old boy. Beingin the natural health industry, I amwell aware of the impact we haveon our food and environment andbeing a mother makes meespecially concerned about thefuture of our planet. Although wework hard as a family to helppreserve our natural environmentand to do little things each day tomake our world a better place tolive, I still feel that my support ofGreenpeace goes once step furtherin contributing to a global effort tobring about some much neededchanges. I truly respect and admirethe tireless efforts of Greenpeaceand all of its volunteers and woulddo everything within my power tohelp them continue on with theirwork.

Steve Backshall, naturalist andTV presenter with BBC,Discovery and NationalGeographic.

There is a terrible lethargy affectingthe world these days. People areincreasingly aware of climatechange, habitat destruction and theunsustainable exploitation of wildanimals and wild places. Too manybelieve that we and our children willalways live in a world with wildmountain gorillas, with whales andgiant tuna found in the seas, aworld free from the destructiveeffects of climate change. I supportGreenpeace as they recognise theproblems facing our planet, andactually get out and do somethingabout it."

Vincent Rossi

I am an environmental analyst(making life cycle assessments) andstarted my career the day someforgotten US president rejected theKyoto Protocol. I was working in ‘e-business’ at the time and decided Ihad to change my commitment. Iquit my job, started a master inenvironmental engineering andended up in a small start-up, tryingto help companies identify wherethey could reduce their impacts.Today I am proud to work with ateam of 15, consulting with some ofthe world's largest companies onhow to cut their CO2 emissions.

I never stopped supportingGreenpeace, because change hastwo faces: you need to showsolutions, but this does not work ifyou don't show you are ready totake action! THANK YOUGreenpeace for your work, you areSO USEFUL! You enable change,you are precious.

How We Spend ourDonated Funds


We take our responsibilityfor transparency andaccountability veryseriously.We always ensurethe efficient use of fundsgiven by the millions ofpeople who support us.

Detailed financial accountsare available at the back ofthis document.

Our clear priority is tacklingclimate change – mainlythrough our Climate & Energyand Forests Campaigns, onwhich campaigns ourexpenditure has increasedfrom €32 million in 2008 toalmost €37 million in 2009(an increase of 15.2%), orfrom 62.1% of our directglobal spending oncampaigns to 67.5%.The climate imperative,nevertheless, underpins all ofour international campaigns,and in 2010, as in 2009, wewill continue to increasesubstantially the proportionof our resources spent ontackling climate change.

Where is income raised,proportions, global incometrends

In 2009, Greenpeace globally had a grossfundraising income of €195.9 million. This is0.4% less than in 2008. Fundraisingexpenditure increased by 4.7% to €63.1million in 2009 compared to €60.3 million in2008. This increase is mainly attributable toa greater investment in the acquisition ofnew monthly direct debit donors. Thus, theorganisation emerged rather well from therecession of 2008-2009.

The top five income-raising offices wereGreenpeace Germany, GreenpeaceNetherlands, Greenpeace USA,Greenpeace Switzerland and GreenpeaceUK. However, strong growth (in localcurrency compared to FY 2008) is beingseen in many National and Regional Offices.Most notably, fundraising income is 61% upfor Greenpeace Southeast Asia, 33% forGreenpeace Argentina, 25% forGreenpeace Chile, 17% for bothGreenpeace India and Greenpeace Russia,14% for Greenpeace Mediterranean,Greenpeace China and GreenpeaceFrance, 11% for Greenpeace Nordic and10% for Greenpeace Italy. In addition,Greenpeace Germany returned grossincome €2 million above budget.

Looking at the global trend we can see astagnation of growth in income but a slightincrease in donor numbers. By the end of2009, Greenpeace globally had 3 millionactive donors (those who supportedGreenpeace with a financial gift during2009).

Growth markets and growthchallenges

What is covered by GreenpeaceInternational’s fundraising budget(direct vs. indirect fundraising costs)

Copenhagen is behind us – Cancun lies ahead.The nature of the challenge has not changed –nor indeed the urgency of the issues that weface. Recent events across the planet havedemonstrated, in countless ways, theconsequences of pushing recklessly in thedirection of ‘growth at all costs’ – with thedefinition and parameters of growth definedby a handful of the globally powerful.

As a woman from the global south, comingfrom a cultural ethos which is conscious of theintrinsic interconnectivity between nature andhuman beings, it is interesting to see that ourorganisational mission is increasingly seeing theconvergence of the ecological, the human rightsand the social and environmental justicestreams. Copenhagen has already shown usthat civil disobedience – and building commonplatforms of protest – can indeed confrontpowerful interests inimical to equitablesustainability for all.

Our challenge is to combine the concerns ofenvironmental justice, while at the same timemaking difficult investment decisions such asthe building of the new RainbowWarrior,knowing that ships above all can helpGreenpeace go to places and do thingswhich few others can.

In November 2009, this Board appointedKumi Naidoo from South Africa as the newInternational Executive Director of Greenpeace.As I step down as Board Chair at the AnnualGeneral Meeting of March 2011, we will alsostart the process of selecting a new Board Chairto take us forward into the next decade. My‘salaams’ to all who form part of this uniqueband of sisters and brothers.

FinancialReport

Greenpeace International CombinedAbbreviated Financial Statements

Greenpeace International (Stichting Greenpeace Council)acts as the coordinating body for Greenpeace National andRegional Offices as well as running international campaignsand operating the Greenpeace fleet. The combinedabbreviated financial statements are derived from thefinancial statements of Greenpeace International and itsaffiliated entities, but exclude the Greenpeace National andRegional Offices.

The total income of Greenpeace International rose by€5.6 million (11%) in 2009. There was an increase in grantdonations received from Greenpeace National andRegional Offices of €8.8 million, including increasedcontributions of €5 million from Greenpeace USA and€1 million from Greenpeace Netherlands. €8.2 million inadditional income was specifically earmarked forinvestment activities, including the building of thereplacement of the RainbowWarrior. This was partiallyoffset by decreases in other grants and donations of€2.3 million.

Total expenditure increased by approximately €4.6 million.This was mainly attributable to an increase of €6.3 million incampaign expenditure and an increase of €0.8 million inorganisational support, set off by a gain relating to theadjustment of amortised costs for loans of €1.5 million anda foreign exchange gain of €2 million. The increase incampaign expenditure mostly relates to a €4.3 millionincrease in expenditure on the Climate and Energycampaigns around the Copenhagen Climate Summit.

Reserves Policy

Greenpeace International's reserves policy is to plan to holdavailable reserves equating to approximately three monthsof expenditure. In this context, available reserves equals thefund balance less fixed assets and less reserves held forrestricted or designated purposes. This is in order to coverworking capital requirements and provide cover forunexpected operational expenditure and incomefluctuations, as well as any increased future investmentneeds. The reserves level is calculated as follows:

2009 Euros thousands

FinancialReport

Greenpeace 'Worldwide' CombinedAbbreviated Financial Statements

These accounts are a compilation of the individually auditedaccounts of all the legally independent Greenpeaceorganisations operating worldwide, including GreenpeaceInternational. In compiling these abbreviated financialstatements, the financial statements of individualGreenpeace National and Regional Offices have beenadjusted, where appropriate, to harmonise the accountingpolicies with those used by Greenpeace International.

In 2009, the total gross income from fundraising forGreenpeace worldwide was €196 million. This was €0.8million (0.4%) less than in 2008. The total number ofGreenpeace supporters remained consistent from end of2008 to end of 2009 at approximately 2.9 million.

Total expenditure worldwide fell marginally by approximately€0.2 million (0.1%) from €201.8 million to €201.6m.Fundraising expenditure at €63.1 million (approximately 32%of the total fundraising income) was €2.8 million (4%) higherthan in 2008. This increase is mainly attributable to a greaterinvestment in the acquisition of new supporters.

Campaign and campaign-related expenditure increasedglobally by €6.8 million (7%) from €102.2 million in 2008 to€109 million in 2009. There was a significant increase of €4.5million (20%) in expenditure on the Climate & Energycampaign, this increased expenditure was primarily oncampaigns encouraging positive outcomes at the COP15UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen.

Organisation support costs across Greenpeace worldwideincreased by €0.6 million (1.8%) in 2009.

The foreign exchange gain of €1.6 million (€3.4 million loss in2008) was generated by a number of gains and losses incurrency holdings across the National and Regional Offices,the most significant being a €0.6 million gain on GreenpeaceAustralia-Pacific funds and a €0.6 million gain for the entityowning the UK office premises. This was because of theweakening of the euro during the year against the majority ofthe major currencies, which - because the reportingcurrency is euros - positively affects the conversion intoeuros of non-euro-based Balance Sheet balances of thoseGreenpeace National and Regional Offices.

The Direct Fund Balance Adjustment in 2009 of €0.8 million(€1 million in 2008) relates to the consolidation of theopening fund balance of the UK entity that is owner of theGreenpeace UK office premises, and in which Greenpeacehas a controlling interest as of 2009.

The Fixed Assets balance of €37.8 million (€30.9 million in2008) increased mainly due to expenditure on a new shipdue to be completed in 2011, and the holding of a FinancialAsset in the form of a €4 million bank guarantee against thisnew-build.

Years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008.All amounts are thousands of euros
