HEINZ REINDL, Chairman of Greenpeace in Central and Eastern Europe

The year 2016 was very special for Greenpeace in Central and Eastern Europe. For the first time, the Greenpeace ship “Arctic Sunrise” set sail under the command of Austria. The destination of this expedition was the oil platform of the Austrian corporation OMV in the Norwegian Arc-tic. Equipped with rubber dinghies and banners, the campaigners from Austria and Hungary protested on-site against OMV’s exploratory drill-ing to reveal the dangerous conditions under which the oil company operates in the far North.

In the summer of 2016 we focused on the forests: In the Romanian Carpathians, we constructed a forest protection station in order to lo-cally document the illegal deforestation as well as the remaining pri-meval forest stand. Furthermore, we have also become active in the Amazon rainforest: Side by side with the local indigenous Munduruku community, our activists opposed to the planned dam project São Luiz do Tapajós. And they succeeded! For the time being, the project was stopped by the Brazilian environmental authority. Hence, it became ap-parent what we can achieve when we act in concert. However, the threat to the rainforest is not yet averted – with the support of many millions of people worldwide, we will continue advocating for the pro-tection of the Amazon rainforest.

The preservation of ecosystems goes hand in hand with sustainable agriculture. For a third of our foodstuffs, we are dependent on the polli-nation by insects like bees. However, industrial agriculture which can-not do without the usage of pesticides is a threat to their survival. We will further support regional, ecological and diversified agriculture and try to enforce food production which is beneficial to the health of hu-mans and animals as well as to nature.

Foreword

Report by the Executive Director and Chairman

For these purposes, it is also important to keep an eye on international trade agreements. The way they currently appear, they pose a great threat to environmental and social standards as well as democracy. Donald Trump’s election as US president put a damper on TTIP, the planned free trade agreement between the USA and the EU – neverthe-less, the battle has not been won yet. Trump does speak on TTIP nega-tively; however, he makes many promises while keeping only few. In any case, Greenpeace will do anything necessary so that CETA, the free trade agreement with Canada, will fail because of the national parliaments’ veto. Another 30 agreements are still nearing comple-tion, but Greenpeace will remain active, defy the powerful, persistent-ly demand transparency and participation and will tirelessly keep in-forming the public.

To us, it is important to emphasise that Greenpeace does not object trade per se as long as it is fair, social and environmentally compliant. However, the major agreements are backed by an alliance of multinational corpo-rations and politicians acting adverse to the interests of large parts of the population and not worrying about environmental effects.

An essential condition so that we will be able to successfully work for a future worth living is that we are financially not dependent on these stakeholders. Hence, we are the only large environmental protection or-ganisation in Austria whose work is solely funded by private means. We sincerely thank you for your decisive contribution. Only with your support, Greenpeace can fight for our planet independently and incorruptly.

Let’s keep on setting sails for a green future!

3How we work

Founded in 1971 by peace activists in Vancouver, Canada, Greenpeace today is a global campaigning organisation that acts to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace.

Greenpeace takes a stand for:• Catalysing an energy revolution to address the

number one threat facing our planet: climate change.• Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and

destructive fishing, and creating a global network of marine reserves.

• Protecting the world’s ancient forests and the ani-mals, plants and people that depend on them.

• Working for disarmament and peace by tackling the causes of conflict and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons.

• Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today’s products and manufacturing.

• Campaigning for sustainable agriculture by rejecting genetically engineered organisms, protecting biodiver-sity and encouraging socially responsible farming.

How we work

Mission possible There are no limits to ecocide. That is why we are active on-site where we are needed, reveal eco-crimes, inform the public and face those responsible with our activities.

Our prime principles are non-violence, political independence and interna-tionality.

We do not take donations from everyone: Greenpeace does not accept any donations from governments, political par-ties or corporations – hence, we do not accept funds that may compromise our independency, concerns, objectives or integrity.

That is why we are especially reliant on private persons who wholeheartedly support our environmental commit-ment – and on the numerous volunteers who campaign for Greenpeace on a voluntary basis. Without them, we could not take action.

At the beginning of 2016, the Austrian mineral oil group OMV started with exploratory drilling in the Norwegian Arc-tic. In the dead of winter, storms, long phases of complete darkness and waves growing up to 5 metres can usually occur. What is more, according to experts’ calculations and based on empirical values of the last 30 years, the area in which the exploratory drilling took place is located only 60 to 70 kilometres off the maximum broadening of the Arctic icecap.

This was why Greenpeace launched a campaign and has ever since been challenging OMV to withdraw from the Arc-tic. In March 2016, the Greenpeace ship “Arctic Sunrise” went to the OMV oil platform in the Barents Sea. It was the first ship tour under Austrian command. The activists pro-tested in front of the oil platform and requested OMV to stop the exploratory drilling and to completely withdraw from the Arctic. Furthermore, the ship crew visited the nearby Bear Island. The largest bird colonies of the north-ern hemisphere as well as seals, walruses and whales are living in that nature reserve. But with a distance of only 180 kilometres to the OMV oil production site, large amounts of oil could reach the Bear Island within only a few days after an oil accident.

The Arctic is one of the last intact ecosystems on earth. Oil accidents in the Arctic, however, can have devastating consequences. So far, no appropriate method has been found to eliminate oil from ice-covered waters. Due to the coldness, the natural degradation process of oil takes more time than usual. Hence, oil could remain in the sen-sitive ecosystem for decades and harm the Arctic in the long term.

In April 2016, OMV was allotted another license in the Nor-wegian Arctic. Greenpeace will advocate for a strategy shift of the mineral oil group towards renewable energies and oppose OMV’s oil production plans in the Arctic.

We are bringing Arctic oil to courtIn 2014, Norway revised their constitution and added an ar-ticle that grants the people – especially future generations – the right of an unpolluted and intact environment. On April 22, 2016, Norway signed the Paris Agreement, thus, committing themselves to curbing global warming to far below 2 degrees and preferably below 1.5 degrees. Less than a month later, oil production licenses were allotted within the scope of the 23rd Licensing Round allowing oil companies – including OMV – to drill for oil as northerly as never before in the Arctic. Consequently, Greenpeace, to-gether with Nature and Youth, a Norwegian environmental-ist youth organisation, filed a suit against the Norwegian government based on the new constitution. Our goal was to void the 23rd Licensing Round and to ban the dangerous Arctic oil production. On November 13, 2017, the ten-day hearing in which the new Norwegian constitution will be examined juridically for the first time will begin.

A milestone for the protection of the Arctic: The Arctic, the area between the polar circle and the North Pole, is one of the last remaining wilderness are-as on earth as well as an extraordinary ecosystem. Howev-er, due to global warming, the perpetual ice is melting and the permafrost soils are thawing. Hence, it will become easier to exploit the treasures of the Arctic: oil and gas re-serves as well as rich fish stocks.

For years, Greenpeace has been taking a stand for the pro-tection of the Arctic and now acclaims the achievement of December 20, 2016: Large parts of Alaska’s coast became permanently protected by the then acting US president, Ba-rack Obama. Hence, oil drilling must not take place there for the future. Alongside regions in the US Atlantic, particu-larly the largest parts of the Chuckchi Sea and the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska are now safe from oil drilling. For some parts of the Arctic, this decision means protection unlimited in time.

More than 8 million people worldwide support Greenpeace’s demand concerning a network of protected areas in the Arctic.

Resistance: The US government responded to the protest by Greenpeace and representatives of the indigenes against the Dakota Access Pipeline with merciless brutality. But we will not be intimidated – we will make a stand!

Once completed, the Dakota Access Pipeline is supposed to transport tens of thousands of cubic metres of raw oil across four federal states. The pipe shall also run underneath Lake Oahe. The lake is located just outside of the tribal territory of Standing Rock Sioux and is essential for the water supply of the community of Native Americans. An accident, a leak or an anomaly along the Dakota Access Pipeline could have a dev-astating effect on the indigenes, while their water could be contaminat-ed at one blow.

The government and involved corporations are absolutely conscious of this hazard. Initially, the pipeline should have run near the city of Bis-marck, North Dakota. The route, however, was changed due to concern regarding the water supply of the city in case of an accident. In Stand-ing Rock, this issue does not seem to matter.

We adamantly oppose the completion and activation of the pipeline and align ourselves with the Standing Rock Sioux. The project is a dangerous assault on indigenous people, their civil rights and equally on environ-mental protection. Injustice must not become justice only because it is authorised by a US president. We will keep up our resistance!

Despite Croatia’s great potential, solar energy has hardly been used yet. Hence, Greenpeace launched an initiative to engage the tourism industry – the country’s most important economic sector – to become key proponent of the coun-try’s transition towards renewable energy. We met with sen-ior executives of two leading hotel companies – Valamar and Maistra – alleging reasons why tourism can benefit from switching to renewable energies, and proposing part-nership on our campaign.

In summer, our staff and volunteers toured Istria, the most prominent tourist region in Croatia, to enthuse the people with renewable energy, especially solar energy on the Adri-atic coast.

With our solar trailer, we visited well-known destinations such as Porec and Rovinj as well as the Seasplash Festival near Pula. During our “Sun-Plugged Tour”, we organised an open-air concert at the waterfront in Porec, powered solely by solar energy, with hundreds of tourists dancing to the music. In addition, we used electricity from the solar trailer to power people’s mobile phones and provide free Wi-Fi as well as “sun-cooled” refreshing drinks.

The tourists’ and citizens’ response was amazing: Hun-dreds of them posed for a photo or took selfies holding speech bubbles with our slogans. Similarly, close to 3,000 people signed our petition, supporting our appeal to the tourism industry to become a leader in the use of renewa-ble energy sources.

The idea of solarising tourism is starting to be widely per-ceived as a logical step by the public as well as energy ex-perts, and Greenpeace is actively calling on the tourism in-dustry to take the lead on Croatian energy transition.

In 2016, Greenpeace was very successful in preventing the expansion of existing and the construction of new coal mines and power plants in Poland. The campaign com-prised the mobilisation of local stakeholders in several hot spot areas threatened by coal and lignite projects as well as activities on the political and legal level. By providing in-depth expertise, analyses and reports, Greenpeace was able to delay new lignite mining projects such as Gu-bin-Brody, Złoczew and Os´cisłowo.

Also after a long campaign and an action of voidance run by a coalition of NGOs including Greenpeace, the planned 1,600 MW “Północ” coal power plant lost its construction permit. The expertise provided by Greenpeace proved cru-cial in the trial and was quoted by the judge in the justifi-cation of the verdict.

When a governmental document supposed to imply the strategic status of lignite deposits and potential mining investments in Poland was proposed, we collected thou-sands of signatures and organised a series of expert con-ferences where we highlighted the negative impacts of lignite mining. This way, we achieved enough public pres-sure for the vice minister of the environment to dismiss the document and officially state that “no mine will be created without the people’s acceptance”.

Coal has no futureBottom: A school in the coal area Brody is now a prosumer of solar energy.© Greenpeace/Konrad Konstantynowicz

In order to build more political pressure on the central deci-sion-making level, we organised a conference in the Parlia-ment attended by 200 people including several members of parliament and the vice ministers of the environment and agriculture. Both vice ministers voiced doubts concerning the new lignite mining projects, which we further used in the campaign. Moreover, as a result of the campaign, the minister of agriculture refused to change the status of the land from agricultural to industrial use in one of the key po-tential lignite mining regions.

Eventually, no new lignite mine or power plant was con-structed or granted permit throughout the year 2016, and all new investment projects were seriously challenged and delayed.

Runcurel is a small village in the Gorj county, the heart of the Romanian lignite area. When the government against the resistance of environmental organisations issued a de-cision allowing for lignite expropriations, Greenpeace start-ed a campaign for ensuring fair compensations for villag-ers. We mobilised people online and offline, raised the topic in local and central media, communicated directly with the government, and found other ways of creative communica-tion, e.g. a large-scale Greenpeace action with a banner of a size of 1,000 square metres displayed in an open-cast mine. This way we contributed to delaying the mining pro-ject for one year. We will of course continue to take a stand for justice and against dirty coal.

Furthermore we were able to stop an illegally operated coal powerplant in Turceni by means of direct communication between the state-owned operator Oltenia, authorities and the media.

Hence, phasing out coal also poses a challenge regarding employment and local revenue in the mono-industrial and coal-dependent Gorj county, Greenpeace started the “Just Transition” campaign with first bilateral meetings with key players from the lignite area – mayors, unions, political parties, academia and economy.

The overall ambition of the European anti-coal movement is fully phasing out coal in Europe by 2030. Different organi-sations have, therefore, started the “Europe Beyond Coal” Campaign, which Greenpeace is also part of. We contribute to this aim through national work and two major interna-tional projects, one of them being the Greenpeace CEE-lead “EU Old Coal” project that focuses on the fastest possible phase-out of existing coal power plants in Europe. Our ob-jectives are international alignment of goals and priorities and the creation of a frame for better scalability and repli-cation of best practices.

On occasion of the 30th anniversary of Chernobyl and the 5th anniversary of Fukushima, Greenpeace started a project aimed at challenging the narrative of the nuclear industry that the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters had minimal im-pacts on human health and the environment, that lessons have been learned, and that there is a way to “return to nor-malcy” and to make a nuclear disaster zone “safe”.

Greenpeace commissioned substantial reviews of scientific studies examining the continued radioactive contamination in the affected areas and the health and social effects on the impacted populations. On site, we also carried out radi-ation field work to reveal the radiation levels in Russia, Be-larus, Ukraine and Japan. All the gained results were pub-lished in the “Nuclear Scars” report.

To visualise radiation levels we used an innovative tech-nique with LED lights, a Geiger counter and a time expo-sure camera.

We also supported a rehabilitation centre for children af-fected by the Chernobyl disaster in Belarus to switch to 100% renewable energies.

Furthermore, we published experience reports of more than 20 survivors and local experts on health and radiation from Japan, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, created a movable map of the exclusion zone in Chernobyl and many more communication materials that showed that there is no such thing as safe and cheap nuclear energy.

A study on the profitability of Paks II commissioned by Greenpeace proved that Paks II will yield a losing bar-gain for Hungary. According to the calculations, Paks II could produce electricity at the price of 85 to 103 euro per megawatt hour, which is highly above the market price for electricity. The operation of the power plant would not be possible without illegal subsidies and could cost the taxpayers as much as 920 million euro annually.

The presentation of the study got wide media coverage and formed an independent antipole to the calculations of the Hungarian government.

We generated significant interest among experts and journalists and could successfully position Greenpeace also in the field of nuclear power and economy. The study contributed to the debate on Paks II, introducing new aspects and information, and vastly raised the credibility of Greenpeace.

12 Agriculture

For years, Greenpeace has been working on protecting bees and wild bees. In 2016, together with our supporters in Steyr, Upper Austria, we laid out a downright paradise for wild bees. In that area of around 1,500 square metres, a showcase project was developed for similar initiatives with a manifold food supply and a possibility for nesting for the important flower visitors.

Furthermore we provided our supporters with 30,000 sa-chets full of organic and bee-friendly seamen for their gar-dens, balconies and window sills in order to collectively plant Austria’s largest bee meadow.

In spring 2016, dangerous insecticides were detected in ornamental plants from Austrian DIY markets and garden centres through Greenpeace tests. Hence, due to Green-peace’s urging, a number of DIY markets and garden cen-tre chains have ever since been constraining the selling of pesticides dangerous for bees, banning bee-killing pesti-cides from the protection of ornamental plants and have in-creasingly been providing organic alternatives.

In 2016, the debate regarding the health-damaging weed killer glyphosate caused a stir in Austria and all of Europe. In spring, the European Commission, supported by large member states like the UK, wanted to grant new registra-tions for glyphosate for another 15 years. Together with allied organisations, Greenpeace was able to prevent these for now. Instead, there was a prolongation for only another 18 months.

Glyphosate endangers humans and the environment

In autumn, Greenpeace sampled wild berries and mush-rooms in a forest area in Carinthia in which pesticides had been sprayed. The appalling result: Already the consump-tion of about 5 wild berries would be enough for a 3-year-old child to reach the allowed daily dose of glyphosate. The glyphosate scandal revealed by Greenpeace led to an intensive medial discussion on the weed killer in Carinthia. Subsequently, almost all political parties in Carinthia spoke out in favour of a glyphosate restraint in all of Austria. Bottom: Sampling of wild berries in

13Agriculture

Building alliances with farmers is an essential element for the Greenpeace eco-agriculture campaign. They are the ones to stand up and align with us to shift power dynamics and influence political decisions in favour of a sustainable future of our food production. Yet, working alongside farm-ers used to be seen as an almost impossible challenge for us to overcome before the farmers’ team started connect-ing ecological farmers with their progressive conventional colleagues all across Europe. In 2016, we launched the “FarmErasmus” programme – a knowledge exchange programme enabling farmers interested in innovation to visit ecological farms. Together with the eco-farming ed-ucational seminars in Hungary, we, thus, started building and strengthening alliances with farmers from various agricultural sectors.

The feedback was amazing: We reached over 400 partici-pants who learned about ecological agriculture at our open farm events and workshops last year, and more than 70 people applied for the FarmErasmus programme. We are continuing to amplify the voice of these farmers and yet to see them become the ambassadors of ecological agricul-ture in future political processes such as the CAP reform (Common Agricultural Policy).

14 Eco-friendly Consumerism

Food waste is a gigantic problem: 1.3 tons of food end up in the trash every year; with a fraction of that number, world hunger could be assuaged! An area of the size of Australia is regularly cultivated in vain. Huge piles of rub-bish arise also in Austria: At least 760,000 tons of food is produced solely for the dust bin every year. There are nei-ther transparent data concerning the loss within the pro-duction chain nor serious state measures to save valuable foodstuff from the dust bin. Hence, Greenpeace, togeth-er with the initiative “Mutter Erde” (engl. mother Earth) by the Austrian broadcasting company ORF, launched a cam-paign against food waste in April 2016. Under the motto “Wasting food is rubbish”, Greenpeace launched several activities to draw attention to that problem.

For example, Greenpeace activists organised a “rubbish march” to the Federal Chancellery. Together with a food-stuff research institute we examined expired foods: Two weeks after expiry date, all tested products were still fresh and edible.

Greenpeace also called attention to the fact that many “field rebels” – fruits and vegetables that do not corre-spond to the supermarkets’ ideal of beauty in form or size – are ploughed under right on the field.

With the help of our supporters, we put pressure on pol-itics to finally start acting. Within only a few weeks, our petition against food waste gained more than 40,000 signatures. Meanwhile, the problem of food waste has hit home within large parts of the population. The politi-cians in charge have already started reacting and have realised some measures. However, these measures are not enough to seriously tackle the problem. Hence, Greenpeace will continue the fight against food waste.

15Eco-friendly Consumerism

Since October 2015, the so-called Greenpeace “Markt-check” (supermarket check) has been keeping a close eye on the largest Austrian supermarket chains with month-ly tests. Within the scope of the project “testing sustainabil-ity”, Greenpeace examines how ecofriendly offered prod-ucts are and how sustainably supermarkets act. Hence, every month, the Greenpeace Marktcheck chooses a cer-tain product line, assesses the products and the perfor-mance of the supermarkets and declares the winner.

The Greenpeace Marktcheck is one of a kind and has com-pletely gained its objective: Supermarkets have reacted with improving production lines and are in intensive com-munication with Greenpeace, especially as far as the im-provement of the supermarkets’ home brands is con-cerned. The consumers’ interest is large, which becomes apparent online as well as offline due to a great deal of postings and queries. With these tests, the Greenpeace Marktcheck also offers support for the consumers’ dai-ly shopping and responds to their recurring question, “What shall/what can I still buy?”

So far, consumers have mostly been interested in the tests concerning meat for barbecues, the range of organic food and the supermarkets’ measures to reduce food waste. The Marktcheck’s most important criteria generally com-prise the offer of organic, genetically unmodified and vegan products. Furthermore, criteria like the supermarkets’ effort to reduce packaging waste or the usage of pesticides have been assessed.

A specific highlight was the testing of chocolate Nicho-las figures in December 2016, which made cover story of the largest Austrian daily newspaper. Hence, the effect of Greenpeace Marktcheck became clearly visible: In 2016, or-ganic and fair trade chocolate Nicholas figures were finally available in Austrian supermarkets for the very first time.

For supermarkets, the Greenpeace project Marktcheck is an important guidance concerning the improvement of their product lines and concrete recommendations for the most essential measures for environmentalism.

16 Forests

In the heart of the Amazon, the Brazilian government planned to build more than 40 reservoir dams. Dams, how-ever, have dire consequences for the Amazon’s ecosystems: They alter the hydrologic cycles, destroy large forest are-as and pose a threat to the habitat of humans and animals. Hence, in 2016, Greenpeace launched a global campaign against the first of the planned dam projects. The São Luiz do Tapajós would have entailed serious consequences. The Tapajós river basin is regarded as paradise of biodiversity: It is home to over 1,300 plant and to over 1,000 animal spe-cies. The habitat of the indigenous community of the Mun-duruku would have been threatened by the dam as well.

There are only a few international corporations that can provide such large dam projects with technical equipment. Two of them are the German company Siemens and the Austrian company Andritz. The latter had already expressed interest in the project at the forefront. Hence, Greenpeace activists protested at the general meeting of Andritz in Graz and in front of the Siemens headquarter in Vienna where we called on the corporations not to contribute towards São Luiz do Tapajós.

In Brazil, we were standing alongside of the Munduru-ku and challenged the Brazilian government to stop the dam project and instead invest in renewable energies. In July 2016, Austrian Greenpeace activists together with col-leagues from all over the world were right at River Tapa-jós in the heart of the Amazon. Day by day, they supported the Munduruku with mapping and demarcating their land, which was important to demonstrate that this area is in-digenous land and, thus, must not fall victim to the govern-ment and to particular corporations. Furthermore, they in-stalled solar systems in the villages of the Munduruku as Brazil has extremely high potential of solar energy.

“In the Amazon rainforest, I promised the Munduruku to make their story known in Austria and to continuously support their struggle for their home and against the dam projects. I will be true to my word.”

After a months-long Greenpeace campaign, the activists fi-nally succeeded in August 2016: The Brazilian environmen-tal authority stopped the approval process for the São Luiz do Tapajós. This means now that the dam will not be built, which is a great success for the Munduruku and for more than a million people worldwide who have been campaign-ing for a halt of the project. Greenpeace will continue fight-ing for the protection of the Amazon rainforest and against further plans of dam projects.

During the one-year interim government, success was at-tained in the Romanian forest policy in 2016. In February, a forest forum took place under Greenpeace’s guidance gathering state representatives, authorities, environmen-tal associations, scientists, corporations and journalists on-site. Together, the roughly 80 participants drafted a re-form plan for the forest branch. A particular success was that the Romanian forest minister Christiana Pasca-Palm-er signed a declaration phrased by the environmental as-sociations that could end the overfelling and illegal de-forestation of the primeval forests. Greenpeace controls the realisation of the declaration and observes whether the clearing ban is complied with. The bottom line is: The majority of the measures which were agreed upon un-til the change of government at the end of 2016 was real-ised. An important part was the judicial basis for the cre-ation of the national “primeval forest registry”. All forests which are regarded as primeval forests according to of-ficial criteria will be identified, added to the registry and can, thus, be protected permanently and legally. Moreo-ver, the public and NGOs are called upon to report forests that are eligible for being added to the list.

In the summer of 2016, more than 90 Greenpeace ac-tivists built a forest rescue station in the Romanian Car-pathians. They spent 4 weeks on documenting the beauty but also the illegal devastation of the primeval forests that has been continuing despite the legal prohibition. This documentation is necessary for the primeval forest reg-istry as it is supposed to show how much carbon dioxide can be absorbed by trees.

Protection for Romania’s last primeval forests

In September, after a months-long effort and a legislation amendment, Greenpeace achieved the legal protection of the Cumpana forest. Also the Museteica forests are now part of the primeval forest registry whereby another 555 hectares will be protected.

Due to our regularly published Greenpeace studies on il-legal cutting of timber, the topic has moved up on the po-litical agenda: Meanwhile, some state tools have been edged in order to better monitor the lumbering. Thanks to the progressive policy of the interim government which has ensured the compliance with the legislation and has seen to more transparency and controls, a decline from almost 100 daily reported cases in 2015 to 26 cas-es was reached in 2016. All in all, in 2016, with the help of Greenpeace, more than 440 illegally logged trees were identified, 6 criminal procedures were started and, by spe-cifically applying the European Timber Regulation (EUTR), 1,146 vehicles were confiscated transporting wood illegally.

18 Forests

In 2016, Greenpeace Poland launched a campaign to save Białowieza Forest, the only natural site in Poland on the UN-ESCO World Heritage List and the best preserved lowland forest in Europe, from large-scale logging. It became the largest environmental story of the year in Poland. As an ef-fect of massive mobilisation, we collected over 160,000 signatures (40,000 in first week) and delivered them to the Polish Prime Minister.

In this campaign coordinated by Greenpeace, 7 other NGOs were operating. Together with them, we provided the Euro-pean Commission and UNESCO with information about the illegal logging. The information was based on data collect-ed by Greenpeace activists regularly present in the Białow-ieza Forest. The European Commission started an infringe-ment procedure against Poland which forced the Polish government to slow down the logging. UNESCO discussed the case during its annual Committee meeting, and its ad-visers called on Poland to let the forest grow with minimal intervention.

In April, Greenpeace protested for 3 days on the rooftop of the Ministry of Environment to point to the urgency of For-est protection. We gained worldwide attention, and the pro-test was covered by Polish and international media includ-ing BBC, Al-Jazeera, CNN, Washington Post, AP, Reuters, The Guardian and Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Greenpeace will continue to stand up for the preservation of the Białowieza Forest and will not quit until the Polish government stops the logging.

Toxic accidents are frequently symptoms of a broken sys-tem and raise important issues concerning production safety, storage and disposal of toxics, weak regulations and corrup-tion as well as the promotion of cleaner and safer solutions.

In 2015, Greenpeace CEE initiated the development of a centre of excellence called “HazMat Hub” (Hazardous Ma-terials), addressing the organisation’s need to become re-sponsive to toxic accidents at a faster pace and to turn en-vironmental disasters into opportunities to achieve changes of systems and processes.

The Hub offers support to Greenpeace offices all over the world in crisis management, ranging from delivering field-work results, leading and providing advice on setting up a local rapid response team to determining processes, per-formance goals and quality standards. Furthermore, it pro-vides advice on campaign and communication strategies as well as the training of staff and volunteers on request. Insights from each case are used to increase the HazMat knowledge and expertise within the organisation as well as the quality of Greenpeace’s interventions.

In 2016, the HazMat Hub was already running locally rel-evant projects in Slovakia and Hungary, testing waste wa-ters and toxic dump sites in order to push for stricter regu-lations and controls. Globally, it has also been consulted re-garding incidents in China, Germany, Italy and Mexico.

Success for the protection of the Arctic:Marine areas that have so far been covered by ice are cur-rently not protected by law. A Greenpeace investigation presented in March 2016 reveals that industrial fishing fleets with bottom trawl nets constantly advance to remote areas of the northern Barents Sea the more the marine ice melts away. The waters around the island group Spitsber-gen are home to cold-water corals, whale species like be-lugas and Greenland whales, ice bears, walruses and some of the worldwide largest colonies of seabirds like puffins and guillemots. Due to the cod haul with heavy bottom trawl nets, the ocean floor is severely damaged – involving serious consequences for the entire ecosystem.

Since May 25, 2016, providers like Iglo and McDonald’s as well as some of the world’s leading fishing associations have been refraining from catching and selling cod from so far ice-covered waters of the Norwegian Arctic after having signed a commitment as requested by Greenpeace. The commitment accounts for an area in the Northern Barents Sea that is almost twice as big as France. Greenpeace now calls on the Norwegian government to provide permanent legal protection for this area.

The world’s largest marine protected area: The South Pole presents itself as a world entirely in white, an extreme habitat with a unique flora and fau-na and one of the largest nature reserves of our earth.

On October 27, 2016, the world’s largest marine protect-ed area was determined by the Commission for the Con-servation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAM-LR). The Commission consists of members from 24 states and the EU. For the next 35 years, the unspoiled marine ecosystem of the Ross Sea will be protected against the fishing industry. The sanctuary spans 1.55 million square kilometres and is about 20 times as big as Austria. Hence, it is the world’s largest marine area to be protected.

Only in sanctuaries, the destroyed marine nature can be rebuilt, fish stocks can propagate, food sources can de-velop, and what is more, they provide animals with im-portant safe havens. Greenpeace claims further sanctu-aries, also in the Arctic, as it is similarly one of the last intact ecosystems on our planet.

Our effort in fighting the trade arrangements TTIP and CETA in 2016 was an important core theme of Greenpeace’s actions.

Due to a blocking action, Greenpeace delayed the TTIP ne-gotiations in Brussels. In Austria, we showed the threaten-ing negative effects on employment of the agreement for our country by means of a study. Moreover, we published the positions of the presidential campaign’s candidates re-garding TTIP and CETA. Finally, Greenpeace hit the head-lines worldwide when we published the secret negotiation lines under “TTIP Leaks”.

We also took a number of actions regarding CETA. Under pressure from Greenpeace, the nine Austrian governors passed a mutual statement in which they de facto disap-proved of CETA in the form in hand. At a parliamentary con-ference, we demonstrated the perils of CETA to the mem-bers of parliaments. Furthermore, Greenpeace participat-ed in a large information campaign in order to gain the EU Parliament’s representatives’ “No” to CETA. We further-more took actions in front of the Federal Chancellery in Vi-enna and the European Parliament in Strasbourg as well as at the meeting of foreign affairs and trade ministers in Lux-embourg. Additionally to Greenpeace Austria, our offices in Poland, Hungary and Slovenia also undertook different ac-tivities regarding CETA.

So, what’s next? The negotiations on TTIP are on hold right now because of Donald Trump’s policy of closure, but they could soon be thawed again. Unfortunately, CETA has got the go-ahead by the governments of the EU member states and by the EU parliament. However, thanks to our ef-fort, CETA can only become effective when it is approved by 38 national and regional parliaments. If only one parlia-ment votes No, the agreement falls. Moreover, we can also take credit for the fact that the controversial special rights of action of investors become effective only once CETA has passed all parliaments. Our effort against CETA as planned is not a lost cause yet!

The people behind Greenpeace

In my childhood, I used to daydream for hours and endlessly stare at Negoiu, the second highest sum-mit of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania. My village and our home was surrounded by forest, the moun-tains were covered by forest. Viscerally, I always felt my existence because the forest existed, because those trees existed. I felt that we were connected. And I thought the forest was eternal.

The last authentic wilderness left in Europe is here, in the Carpathians. Home to the largest numbers of bears and wolves left in Europe, the largest virgin forests and the largest old-growth forests still left in Europe. Those places were the playground that pro-pelled me into climbing 8,000 metre peaks in the Himalayas without using supplemental oxygen. After all those years, they are still a great training spot for me. But something has changed. Sorrowfully, I came to see that the forest is not being eternal.

Surveys show that around half of all the timber taken from Romania’s forests is illegal. The ruth-less massacre of Romania’s forests is not a Roma-nian matter anymore – it is a European matter. Therefore, I’m thankful that Greenpeace is up front to uncover these crimes and make them public.

Forest is not timber, wildlife is not a game – and we are many.

Greenpeace activists were my childhood superhe-roes, and that was what I wanted to become one day. I would hang pictures of Greenpeace actions on my wall instead of those of singers and ath-letes. At the age of 15, I joined the new-born Greenpeace Hungary, and we grew up side by side, as it became the most ascendant environmental organisation of the country. Now, many years later, it is still a very important part of my life. As one of the coordinators of the Greenpeace volunteer group in Budapest, I bring together old and new activists to find ways to support the campaigns and to build a community of like-minded people who believe in the power of independent, non-vio-lent actions. The enormous amount of work and creativity behind each action amazes me. It is a great experience to be part of this international net-work of experts, activists and supporters fighting for a common goal: saving the planet for our children.

I live in Lusatia in western Poland, and I am one of the thousands of inhabitants whose livelihoods are directly threatened by the new open-cast lignite mines planned by the coal industry in Poland. If the lignite mining plans come true, dozens of villages would be destroyed and thousands of hectares of forests and fertile farming land would be turned in-to the giant holes – the open-cast lignite pit mines. The lignite industry would harm the people, the environment and the climate and increase the air pollution that is so harmful to our health. As the leader of the local citizens’ initiative against open-cast lignite, I appreciate the crucial and sus-tainable support by Greenpeace. With commitment, professionalism and creativity the environmental-ists are fighting together with the inhabitants and farmers against the coal industry. Thanks to our numerous joint public activities and legal actions, so far, we have managed to prevent new lignite mines in my region and other regions. It is also due to Greenpeace’s support that all sev-en schools in our region are now powered by their own rooftop solar power plants. Our pupils, includ-ing my own children, learn about the renewable energy from the very beginning, and they hope their schools and houses will not be wiped out by the planned lignite mines. Our struggle continues, and it is very important that Greenpeace keeps up running the climate campaign as it helps both the climate and thousands of people locally.

Greenpeace is an organisation that sets things in motion – mostly then when politicians fail or do not position themselves concerning socio- and eco-political issues. The socio-political commit-ment of Greenpeace’s qualified team is not solely impressive but also exemplary. While fighting against TTIP, CETA and others, I have witnessed Greenpeace as one of the most important and profound critics of these treaties as well as a val-uable partner who raises the population’s aware-ness regarding developments by vast background knowledge and high tactical sense. Due to our exchange and our mutual support, we were able to reach maximum awareness concerning the “poison fangs” of these trade agreements, to ac-tivate further allies and to even convince political agents by alleging reasons. SPAR is proud to be part of this movement.

I have been supporting Greenpeace for quite a few years now because I highly appreciate the com-mitment of every single member. I admire their perseverance and persistence, their enthusiasm and their desire for making the world a little bit better. Today, everything is mostly about rapidity: quick food, instant riches and fast lifestyle. By do-ing so, however, we put up with the fact that our environment is neglected and not minded – I would even say it is not respected. The world holds so much ready for us – but we do not see that an-ymore. I am working with small children, and every day that we are outside surrounded by na-ture, I am able to rediscover slowness and aston-ishment. Every little stone, every snail and every flower is marvelled at by the children, touched and inspected thoroughly. These are the things that we have to protect – also and especially for our children!

Everyone who loves nature and human beings is often appalled by how shamelessly some of the powerful people in economy and politics defy the wellbeing of this planet and its inhabitants to max-imise their own profits or power. I have often wit-nessed that problem in the field of climate protec-tion and energy which is near and dear to me. Hence, fearless, imaginative and highly motivated activists are needed like those with Greenpeace to set boundaries and to prevent catastrophes. For a long time, Greenpeace has already been speaking out against climate killers like oil, gas and coal and against life-threatening nuclear energy. I think that is great, and this is why I will continue supporting Greenpeace wholeheartedly. I do not want to im-agine a world without Greenpeace and would be very proud if one or even more of my 7 grandchil-dren became Greenpeace activists.

Greenpeace CEE in Figures

In order to guarantee complete independence, Greenpeace does not accept money from governments, corporations or institutions such as the EU or the UN, but only from private donors and foundations.

In 2016, the total revenue of Greenpeace Central and East-ern Europe was 13.8 million EUR. The majority of revenue, about 10 million EUR, was generated by regular contribu-tions from donors, and a further 929,899 EUR from irregu-lar contributions. Greenpeace donors left us 517,730 EUR in their wills. There was no appropriation to untaxed re-serves. The annual balance sheet shows a deficit of 30,358 EUR, which reduces the capital reserves.

Campaign work in Austria and Eastern Europe is financed mostly through Austrian donations. Since the indiscriminate exploitation of nature does not stop at national borders, Greenpeace CEE also funds part of Greenpeace’s global campaign work. We want to take this opportunity to thank all the supporters who have enabled us to keep advocating for environmental issues. Thank you!

Greenpeace discloses its accounts every year to proof that the funds are used exclusively for the purposes stated in its charter. The complete annual balance sheet 2016 was sent to IBD Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH for assessment. The ple-nary audit certificate for this annual balance sheetis dated 29.3.2017.
