Greenpeace Africa is a regional environmental organization of the global Greenpeace network, with one of its main offices located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Established in 2008, the organization works across several African countries to protect the environment and promote climate justice. It is an independent, non-profit movement funded mainly by individual supporters rather than governments or corporations. The organization’s vision is an Africa where people live in harmony with nature in a peaceful and environmentally just society.
From its South African base, Greenpeace Africa leads campaigns addressing major environmental issues such as climate change, forest destruction, plastic pollution, and the protection of marine ecosystems. The organization works with local communities, researchers, and civil society groups to expose environmental injustices and advocate sustainable solutions. Through research, public awareness campaigns, and peaceful activism, Greenpeace Africa aims to influence environmental policies and promote renewable energy and ecological conservation across the continent.
