People power for a sustainable future
We believe in the power of people coming together for lasting change. When communities unite, their collective strength becomes an unstoppable force for good. This page showcases the incredible work of ordinary Filipinos standing up to protect people and the planet.
Harnessing collective strength for people and planet
Our work would not be possible without the dedication and leadership of communities who are on the frontlines of environmental action. From climate-impacted areas to marginalized and indigenous groups, these communities are not just followers; they are leaders in their own right. Through collaborative efforts with Greenpeace, they are taking bold steps to address environmental challenges and build sustainable futures.
We highlight their stories to inspire others, showing how grassroots efforts are making a difference. Whether it’s defending their lands from destructive industries, advocating for climate justice, or protecting biodiversity, these communities are making their voices heard and their actions felt.
