ABOUT US

GREENPEACE

Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organisation, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future.

Greenpeace Romania is part of the regional office of Greenpeace Central and Eastern Europe (Greenpeace CEE) which consists of 8 national offices: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

THE ROLE

Greenpeace without protests and actions is like the winters without ice and snow. Non-violent direct actions or protests against environmental injustice form the backbone of the international organization Greenpeace.
