4. introduction
Greenpeace is a non governmental environmental
organisation. Its goal is to “ensure the ability of the
earth to nature life in all its diversity "and focuses its
work on world wide issues such as global warming ,
deforestration, overfishing, commercial whaling and
anti-nuclear issues. Founded in 1971 to oppose U.S.
nuclear testing in Alaska, the organisation has fought
to protect endangered species , stop the dumping of
hazardous waste and strengthen national and
international laws that regulate environmental affairs.
5. Background
Greenpeace started in 1971 with a small group of volunteers organizing a
music concert to raise funds to sail a boat from Vancouver to Amchitka to
protest against US militarism and the testing of nuclear weapons. The tests
went ahead but the protests gave birth to a new idea – Greenpeace.
45 years on, Greenpeace has a presence in over 55 countries around the world.
We share the same core values of non-violence, bearing witness, personal
action, internationalism and independence – we do not accept funding from
governments or corporations.
Greenpeace India was founded in 2001. But our story goes back further to
1995 where grassroots activists from other Greenpeace offices started the idea
of Greenpeace India in Delhi. Ideas are often more powerful than
organisations.
The initial campaigns to stop western companies using India as a dumping
ground for toxic waste (1995), the iconic hot air balloon protest near the Taj
Mahal (1998) and the campaign against toxic ship breaking in Gujarat , gave us
the momentum to get registered in India by May 2001.
6. Mission
Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organization, which uses
non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental
problems, and to force the solutions which are essential to a green and
peaceful future.
Greenpeace’s goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all
its diversity.
Therefore Greenpeace seeks to:
• protect biodiversity in all its forms
• prevent pollution and abuse of the earth’s ocean, land, air and fresh water
• end all nuclear threats
• promote peace, global disarmament and non-violence.
7. Core values
• We ‘bear witness‘ to environmental destruction in a peaceful, non-violent
manner;
• We use non-violent confrontation to raise the level and quality of public
debate;
• In exposing threats to the environment and finding solutions we have no
permanent allies or adversaries;
• We ensure our financial independence from political or commercial
interests;
• We seek solutions for, and promote open, informed debate about
society’s environmental choices.
In developing our campaign strategies and policies we take great care to
reflect our fundamental respect for democratic principles and to seek
solutions that will promote global social equity.
8. Fundraising principles
Greenpeace’s worldwide activities are funded almost
entirely by donations from individuals around the world,
and by private foundation grants. For several years now, we
have been supported by an able and committed team
involved with raising public awareness on environmental
issues and raising funds for the organization . Over the
years, this team has helped us inspire more than 3,50,000
individual supporters to join our mission and help us stay
financially stable and independent. Under our new
restructured model these critical functions have now been
outsourced.
9. We have contracted Direct Dialogue Initiatives India Pvt. Ltd (DDII)
whose mission is to raise funds ethically for environmental and social
causes.
In raising funds, we accurately describe our activities and needs. Our
policies and practices ensure that donations further our organisation’s
mission. As a matter of policy, we do not seek or accept funding from
governments, corporations, political parties or multi-national
governmental bodies such as the United Nations or the European
Community, as this could compromise our independent status with
regard to the environmental issues we represent. We reserve the right
to refuse private donations that may compromise our independence,
integrity or deflect from our campaign priorities, and large donations
are screened for this purpose.
Greenpeace worldwide works to maintain a proper balance between
costs, revenue and quality of expenditure, and to keep fundraising
costs to an acceptable percentage of revenue.
10. Sustainable development goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a
collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a "shared blueprint for
peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future".The
SDGs were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly (UN-GA)
and are intended to be achieved by 2030. They are included in a UN-GA
Resolution called the 2030 Agenda or what is colloquially known as Agenda
2030.
The 17 SDGs are: No poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality
education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean
energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and
infrastructure, Reduced Inequality, Sustainable Cities and
Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life
Below Water, Life On Land, Peace, Justice, and Strong
Institutions, Partnerships for the Goals.
11. Millennium Development Goals
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were eight international
development goals for the year 2015 that had been established following the Millennium
Summit of the United Nations in 2000, following the adoption of the United Nations
Millennium Declaration. These were based on the OECD DAC International Development
Goals agreed by Development Ministers in the "Shaping the 21st Century Strategy".
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) succeeded the MDGs in 2016.
All 191 United Nations member states, and at least 22 international organizations,
committed to help achieve the following Millennium Development Goals by 2015:
1. To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. To achieve universal primary education
3. To promote gender equality and empower women
4. To reduce child mortality
