The Rainbow Warrior heads to COP30 in Brazil, cartoon animals run wild in the Swedish forest, and a giant climate receipt appears in Acapulco. Here are a few highlights from Greenpeace work around the world this week.

🇩🇪 Germany – A few days before the start of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), 14 Greenpeace activists staged a demonstration with a projection on Germany’s tallest building, the Berlin TV Tower. Using several projectors, the environmentalists transformed the striking silver sphere 200 meters above the ground into a burning globe. They project the appeal “Act Now!” onto the shaft of the tower. It is also directed at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), who will speak before the official start of the UN conference in Belém, Brazil.

🇸🇪 Sweden – The artist and illustrator Marc “UÅ” Strömberg has, in collaboration with Greenpeace, installed unique artworks in a forest threatened by logging south of Vängel in Jämtland. The installation takes place in connection with the Swedish Environmental Court issuing a temporary ban on forestry giant SCA’s logging in the area. The artworks depict a collection of colourful forest creatures affected by the forest destruction, who have come to defend their home, they are a tribute to the activism and resistance against SCA’s unsustainable forestry.

🇧🇷 Brazil – Carrying the message “Action, Justice and Hope” on its mast, Greenpeace’s iconic activist ship, the Rainbow Warrior, arrived in Belém, Pará, to mark its presence during the United Nations Climate Conference, COP30.

🇧🇷 Brazil – Chief Megaron Txucarramãe, leader of the Kayapó people, looks through binoculars on the bridge of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior, now in Belém during the United Nations Climate Conference, COP30.

🇲🇽 Mexico – In Acapulco, Greenpeace Mexico unfolded a giant receipt to show the true cost of the climate crisis being paid by people, while the government continues to allocate public funds to fossil fuel megaprojects that worsen the problem. The ticket displays an alarming figure: 177 billion pesos, the estimated amount of damages caused by extreme weather events in Mexico over the past decade.

🇫🇷 France – A pyramid of barrels from which green ‘pesticide’ flows has been installed on the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris. A bucket filled with a viscous green liquid hangs above it. Emmanuel Macron was asked three questions about the EU-Mercosur agreement. After three wrong answers… Splash!

🇧🇷 Brazil – As French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron was passing the Rainbow Warrior on his way to the COP30 convention in Belém, Greenpeace displayed a banner reading “MACRON: GOOD COP OR BAD COP?” to challenge the French President on the stance France intends to take at this COP30, which also marks the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement.

🇺🇸 USA – Anti-Trump Protests in Washington D.C., marking a year since his re-election to the United States presidency.
