Programs

  • Campaign Against Air Pollution

    Greenpeace India campaigns against air pollution, highlighting its detrimental effects on public health and advocating for sustainable transportation solutions. With evidence showing alarming pollution levels in Indian cities, particularly due to fossil fuel usage, the organisation calls for a paradigm shift in the transportation sector. It encourages reducing car usage, promoting cycling, and advocating for renewable and electric-powered transportation. Additionally, Greenpeace aims to influence policy changes while appealing to individuals to adopt sustainable behaviours for cleaner air.

  • Campaign to Promote Solar Energy

    Greenpeace India promotes solar energy adoption, emphasizing its renewable and clean attributes. With India's abundant sunshine, the organisation advocates for solarizing rooftops to harness this resource for powering homes. Despite government initiatives aiming for 100 GW of solar power, including decentralized projects like rooftop panels, progress has been slow. Greenpeace highlights the need for increased incentives and awareness to meet renewable energy targets, urging collective action to push for effective government schemes.

Key milestones include establishing in 2001, stopping toxic ship breaking in Gujarat in 2006, successful 'Ban the Bulb' campaign in 2009, landmark victory to save Mahan forests in 2015, and partnering with farmers to promote organic agriculture in recent years.
