Campaigning for a peaceful and green future is becoming increasingly arduous. As the distance between rich and poor grows, and the grip of old power systems wreaks havoc on the natural world, our struggle will - and must - intensify.

More and more of us must take a stand. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu declares: “We need an apartheid-style boycott to save the planet. We must stop climate change.”

It’s clear that the old polluting industries will not give up without a fight. They have had several hundred years at the top. They exert power and influence at every level of our governments and institutions. We must break their grip on power.

Last year our activists strove to do just that. 30 of them spent over two months in a Russian prison following a peaceful protest at a Gazprom oil rig. Before being ‘released’ they faced charges of piracy and hooliganism, which carries maximum jail sentences of 15 years. In that time, those backing our campaign against Arctic oil drilling - and the call for an Arctic sanctuary - grew to over five million.

As you can see in this report we continue to invest in people powered campaigning - enabling and catalysing citizens, worldwide, to bring about positive social and environmental change.

We believe every act of courage, like those of the Arctic 30, propel us forward. They inspire people to take their own actions - to join the growing global movement that will accept no other future than one that is green, peaceful and just.

Greenpeace UK has played critically important roles in many of our key campaign areas. Their impact has been felt both within the Greenpeace movement as a whole, but more importantly, in the broader world. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and volunteers of Greenpeace, as well as the thousands of you who provide the critical financial support that helps us campaign and keep our independence. All of you represent the best in humanity.

I thank you for your courage, commitment and involvement.

2013 was an incredible year for Greenpeace. You inspired and enabled us to take on these new challenges.

We kicked the year off in style with an excellent result from our forest campaign against Asia Pulp & Paper, who agreed to a zero-deforestation policy. Following on from this success we launched a campaign to clean up the palm oil industry – now the leading cause of forest destruction in Indonesia.

With your help we were also able to continue our biggest international campaign to ‘Save the Arctic’. Our activists were able to raise massive awareness by climbing The Shard in the vicinity of Shell’s HQ. We had Aurora, the huge polar bear, roaring through the streets of London, followed by thousands of people. And we rallied, as a truly global organisation, to secure the release of the Arctic 30 from prison in Russia.

Your support has brought us closer to protecting our oceans. By obtaining a good deal on the Common Fisheries Policy, ministers in Europe must now consider environmental, social and economic factors when allocating fishing quota. Also, alliances were built with small-scale fishermen from around Europe, which turned out to be a game changer.

Your financial support gives us more than the funds needed to campaign. You give us strength and morale. Knowing that you have faith in Greenpeace, and share our vision for a peaceful and sustainable future, gives us huge encouragement.

Without Greenpeace’s enthusiastic and dedicated supporters taking action and funding our work, we couldn’t achieve these huge breakthroughs.

From all of us at Greenpeace, thank you for standing with us.

Last year, Europe finally recognised the value of the fishermen who fish sustainably, and contribute to the culture and economy of our coastal towns. The thousands of you who supported this campaign have ensured that environmental sustainability is now at the heart of EU fishing laws.

We were able to reform the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in large part because of our unprecedented alliance with small scale fishermen in the UK, and all over Europe. These fishermen had been shut out of the CFP, which favoured larger and more destructive fleets. Together we called for new laws that rebuilt our fish stocks, protected our seas, and rewarded sustainable fishermen. We toured our ship the Arctic Sunrise through nine countries in Europe during 2013. Fishermen travelled with us to ask

politicians, journalists - and the public - to support our campaign. An incredible 120,000 of you across Europe made a paper boat petition to show your support, which was delivered to the Irish EU presidency, represented by ambassador Tom Hanney, European Parliament negotiator MEP Ulrike Rodust, and EU fisheries commissioner, Maria Damanaki. The good news doesn’t end there. Together with small scale fishermen we intervened in an historic UK court case over fishing quota, and won. We fought for the principle that fishing quota is a public asset that should be held in trust by the government - not the private property of the few. The judgment paves the way for an overhaul of the way quota is managed in the UK so that sustainable fishermen and fish stocks can thrive.

What next?Our campaign is far from over – the next step is to make sure the UK government implements this policy in a way that creates genuine change. We’ll continue to work in alliance with sustainable fishermen to make sure the government turns things around for them, our fish stocks, and our seas.

OCEANS

2013 was an amazing year for oceans. Thanks to you, our ‘Be a fisherman’s friend’ campaign gathered the kind of momentum that we could have only dreamed of when we first set out to reform Europe’s broken fishing laws, says Oceans Campaigner Nina Schrank.

It might surprise you to know that my defining picture of last year was a slightly boring one of three men in suits holding a piece of framed paper. But what makes this image exciting is that it captures the moment when Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) - Indonesia’s largest paper company - agreed to stop destroying the rainforest. APP had been the target of our campaign for a decade, but getting this commitment is just half of the equation. We have to make sure it keeps its promises. Over the last year we have been watching APP very closely. When we heard reports from other NGOs that some of its suppliers were still clearing forests, we investigated via satellite analysis and visits to concessions. We reported our findings to APP, and it acted on them. This sort of work doesn’t generate headlines, but it’s absolutely critical to making our campaigns successful. While some of my colleagues were working on APP, others were investigating the palm

oil industry. They found that palm oil is now the number one cause of deforestation in Indonesia, and well-known global brands are buying oil from those responsible for the destruction. With the worst forest fires in years raging across Sumatra – fires linked to forest clearance for palm oil – we started challenging companies to clean up their palm oil supplies. A number of global brands took action immediately. L’Oreal and Ferrero joined Nestle and Unilever, all making strong commitments not to buy palm oil from anyone destroying the rainforest. Finally, as the year drew to a close, the world’s largest palm oil trader, Wilmar International, responded with an ambitious plan to sell only responsible palm oil from 2015. A great finish, setting us up nicely for a bold campaign to transform the entire palm oil sector into a force for good.

It was designated a national park in 2004, but most of the natural forest in and around the park has been replaced by industrial pulp and palm oil plantations.p From left, CEO of APP/Sinar Mas Group Teguh Ganda Widjaya

What next?We’re taking on some of the biggest brands in the world in our campaign to break the link between palm oil production and forest destruction this year. We’re also taking the fight to another paper giant, Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL).

FORESTS

Getting Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) to put down its chainsaws is only part of the story. We have to make sure it keeps its promises while we investigate other causes of deforestation, says Forests Campaigner Richard George.

Companies like Cuadrilla want to drill thousands of fracking wells across the UK, industrialising our natural environment and creating carbon pollution when the shale gas is burned. Our collective efforts over the past year have challenged the fracking industry and government, whose plans pose a serious threat to our climate, our countryside, and our communities.

People nationwide have recognised the threat fracking poses, prompting the government to launch an intense public relations drive in its favour. Much of our work in 2013 involved exposing the false arguments being put forward by government. Our research and investigations successfully countered claims that fracking would bring down energy bills, create a jobs boom, and deliver energy security - as well as the assertion that it’s a green form of energy.

On the ground we are helping affected people to protect their local communities. Last year we supported huge anti-fracking

protests in Balcombe and turned George Osborne’s constituency office in Tatton into the HQ of our very own spoof fracking company, Frack&Go. Crucially, we also discovered that homeowners can legally block fracking companies from drilling under their property.

The fracking process involves drilling horizontal wells for up to two miles. But, if the landowner refuses permission, the company would be trespassing if they drill. Based on this we launched our Wrongmove legal block campaign, encouraging people to declare their homes off limits to the frackers.

We’re working alongside communities to build no fracking zones around proposed sites. In the village of Fernhurst, West Sussex, local people have completely boxed in Celtique Energie, much to their CEO’s dismay. The Wrongmove campaign has led The Sun newspaper to brand Greenpeace the UK’s number one obstacle to fracking.

What next?Our Wrongmove legal block is expanding every day. We will leave no stone unturned in our industry investigations, and will continue to engage with politicians at both a local and national level, pressuring them to turn down planning applications, and block fracking.

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL

In 2013 we threw down the gauntlet and let the fracking industry know the UK is ‘not for shale’, says Energy Campaigner Lawrence Carter.

“But this is not just about my life; it is my children’s lives, and what we’re leaving for people for years to come. More effort should be put into safer and longer-term energy sources.” Karen Ditchfield, Lancashire resident

p Supporters from Lancashire and Sussex stage a protest at Cameron’s press conference demanding the end to fracking in their villages and across England.

2013 was a momentous year for the Arctic campaign. Since it launched in June 2012, over five million of you have made a commitment to save the Arctic.

The year began with a group of young leaders from Arctic communities reaching the North Pole. They planted a ‘Flag for the Future’ in the ice. In July six amazing women scaled The Shard to shine a spotlight on Shell’s plans to drill in the Arctic.

In September you took to the streets with Ice Ride – our biggest ever day of action. Over 10,000 people took part in 220 events in 48 countries. In London we created a giant polar bear puppet ‘Aurora’, which 3,000 of you joined in a parade to Shell’s HQ.

Later that month the Arctic Sunrise headed to the Russian Arctic. The 30 activists aboard the icebreaker were on a mission to peacefully protest against planned oil drilling by Gazprom in the Pechora Sea.

The Russian coastguard’s response saw them unjustly imprisoned for over two months. Calls for the Arctic 30’s release resounded across the world. 100 days later an amnesty set them free.

"At some time, in some place, we need to take a stand. I believe that time is now and that place is the Arctic.” Sir Paul McCartney, Greenpeace supporter

Our Arctic campaign provided some of the most memorable moments of 2013, says Arctic Campaigner Sara Ayech.

What next?Politicians are starting to listen. So far this year, the European Parliament has agreed the Arctic should be protected – an important first step to a global sanctuary. 20 years ago you ensured Antarctica was declared a world park, safe from exploitation. Now we can - and must - do the same for the Arctic.

When six women scaled The Shard, Greenpeace asked, what will you do to save the Arctic? A chance to walk with the world’s biggest polar bear was an answer to that call, explains Hannah Davey, Art and Actions Coordinator.

Aurora is a giant - a literal manifestation of the campaign to save the Arctic. She walked through London when Arctic sea ice was at its year-round smallest – a key indicator of climate change. The names of the millions of people who want to save the Arctic are written in Aurora’s fur. She’s bigger than a double-decker bus, and the length of two. It takes 20 puppeteers, 10 crew and 20 haulers to bring her to life. Designing, building and moving her was a huge challenge. But nothing compared to the challenge of climate change.

We collaborated with creative people from the start. Christopher Kelly designed her, Factory Settings built her, Beth Gibbons from

Portishead designed a roar, and sound artist May Abdallah created a soundscape of guttural rumbles. The Puppet Centre helped recruit puppeteers from the likes of War Horse and Walking with Dinosaurs. Mark Jefferis from Spitting Image and Hollywood ape expert Peter Elliot were movement directors.

For the rehearsals and event, the UK logistics team was bolstered by colleagues from Europe. On the day, ‘Ice Rides’ were organised around the world, as well as in the UK. We expected a few hundred, but thousands of you came to Aurora’s parade. Other organisations and NGOs walked with us too.

We drew a line in chalk around Shell’s UK headquarters representing the injunction that says Greenpeace is not legally allowed to protest on Shell property. John Sauven explained that the time had come to cross the line. People crossed and, together, we roared. It was a loud, heart-stopping message to Shell that the Arctic should be a global sanctuary for all life on Earth.

“People I will never meet campaigned for our release. They wrote emails, they marched, they protested, they made a noise that became deafening - even in the Kremlin. I will repay those people by using my freedom to stand up for the Arctic.” Alexandra Harris, one of the Arctic 30

STANDING UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT EXPOSING WHAT’S WRONG SCALING THE SHARD

Ben Stewart, Head of Press, reflects on our defining moment of 2013, when 30 brave men and women were jailed for defending the Arctic, and millions of you stood with them.

When we launched the global campaign for Arctic protection, none of us imagined that within a year it would see Greenpeace facing one of the defining moments of its history. The day after an entirely peaceful protest against Arctic oil drilling at a Russian rig, the Arctic Sunrise ship was seized by Russian commandos. The 28 campaigners and two journalists on board were arrested at gunpoint, and thrown in jail accused of piracy – a ludicrous charge carrying up to 15 years in prison. A decision was taken to focus entirely on securing their release. Within days a worldwide campaign was born, one that pitted ordinary people worldwide against Russia’s state-owned oil industry, and the shadowy forces behind it.

Weekly solidarity events in dozens of cities drove the faces of the Arctic 30 onto front pages across the globe. Over the following months

the campaign to free them shone a bright light on the threat posed to the climate by the Arctic oil rush, before eventually seeing the Greenpeace prisoners walk free.

Those 30 ordinary people faced the prospect of years behind bars but always remained absolutely committed to the need to take peaceful action to protect the Arctic and, more broadly, the whole environment. The fate of the Arctic is simply too important to walk away from. The stakes have been raised, and so too has our commitment.

Our meetings at Canary Wharf and Wall Street do the same job our climbers do when they scale a rig, though it’s scary in a very different way, says Charlie Kronick, Senior Climate Advisor.

BP and Shell alternate as the number one holder of almost all the big UK pension funds. Investors in big oil represent the savings of tens of millions of people. If – or perhaps more accurately, when – Shell is responsible for a huge spill in the Arctic, we’ll all be paying for it.

Your support has allowed us to investigate, document and share our research with the investor community about the gambles Shell is taking with our savings, and our climate. Alongside ShareAction and Platform, we’ve meticulously researched Shell’s risks in Alaska, publishing two reports with a third due this year.

Writing these reports is only the beginning. We send them to hundreds of investors, collaborating with our developing allies in the financial industry. We meet investors face-to-face, arguing the case against Arctic drilling to people professionally invested in us being wrong. I’m always amazed at the new friends we make.

We also debate with oil industry experts in front of hundreds of investors, including at events sponsored by investment banks. We’re confronting the most powerful industries on earth, trying to convince them to change the habits of a lifetime.

Three years ago, investors and the oil industry said drilling for oil in the ice covered Arctic was inevitable. One by one, the companies – Total, Conoco-Phillips, BP, Cairn, Statoil, even Shell – have chosen or been forced to step back from the Arctic, for now. The real job is to make sure they stay out for good. Our work with investors is essential in making this happen.

What next?This year we published ‘Frozen Future’ – a report that documents and exposes Shell’s risks in Alaska. Our aim is to convince investors to move their money away from Arctic oil, and ultimately shift it to a sustainable energy future.

At the time the challenge of climbing Europe’s tallest building seemed unfathomable, but also all too real. Despite training in secrecy for months, I could barely imagine how I and five other woman would feel 1,000 feet up, explains Greenpeace Campaigner, Victoria Henry.

I was taking on the biggest challenge of my life because, like millions of other people, I’m opposed to Shell’s plans to drill in the Arctic. Shell’s three London offices sit in the shadow of The Shard, and we knew this would be a message they couldn’t ignore. We were going to make sure it made headlines across the world. We began our ascent at 4.30am in the cold and dark. The climb was long, complex and exhausting – we were up there for 15 hours in total. But it felt like 15 minutes. I was carried by the cheering from below, and by reading your supportive messages (75,000 in all!) sent through to our phones. Five months later, Shell cancelled plans to explore for Arctic oil in 2014. To each and every one of you who took the time to support us on the day, or donated to Greenpeace, I want to make one thing clear. There is absolutely no way we could’ve done this without you. Together we proved that no matter how great a challenge appears to be, we can overcome it together.

“To me it could not be simpler - if we don’t save the Arctic, we won’t save the world.Dame Vivienne Westwood, Greenpeace supporter

“Shell has wasted some $6bn drilling in the Gulf of Alaska, so far with no real results. Now the issue has come to dominate the brand image of the company after the Greenpeace ascent of The Shard building in London. One does not have to be a hardline Greenpeace supporter to admire the nerve of the young women who made the climb.”Nick Butler, Financial Times

It would be nice to have more time to stop and smell the flowers, as it’s a great way to meet bees. They’re one of the most amazing animals on the planet. Expert navigators, they can give each other precise directions by dancing - their social organisation puts humans to shame, and they play a key role in producing our food. Not just honey – fruit, grain and vegetables all need pollinators. But bees are in decline. A mysterious phenomenon called ‘colony collapse disorder’ (CCD) has been devastating bee populations around the world. One of the likely culprits is pesticides, particularly the neonicotinoids produced by Bayer and Syngenta. The science is pretty complicated, and there are likely to be other factors involved, but the decline is so severe we urgently need to start looking after bees if they’re going to continue looking after us. So Greenpeace, in collaboration with other environmental groups, campaigned last year to have neonicotinoids taken off the market. Owen Paterson, former UK environment secretary, fought a lonely rear-guard action to defend the chemicals, and promoted some

distinctly dodgy science to try to keep them in the fields. Eventually the EU did the right thing and declared a two year moratorium on the chemicals, starting on December 1st 2013, to see what effect that would have. This is a very important victory but the campaign is far from won. Bayer and Syngenta are going to court to try to overturn the ban, and more research is urgently needed to properly understand CCD. We’re following Bayer and Syngenta into the court room, and we’re commissioning more research on how neonicotinoids and bees interact. As most research is done by the manufacturers - who decide what to release - it’s vital that independent research is done, to ensure we have the full picture. Our scientific report on bees, neonicotinoids and guttation fluids (don’t worry, no one else has heard of them either, but it turns out they may be very important) was published in mid-December, and our analysis of pesticide residues in pollen from beehives should have been published by the time you read this.
