The NGO launched last summer an online petition against oil fields in Siberia and the east of the country. Entitled "we are on the brink of a climate catastrophe", the petition has collected 24,000 signatures.
Greenpeace and Russian agency Isobar Moscow jointly launched a communication campaign last summer to ban the development of new oil fields in Siberia and the east of the country.
To do this, an online petition calls on the federal agency for the management of Russian underground resources (Rosnedra) not to grant operating licenses to oil companies. Entitled "we are on the verge of a climate catastrophe" , it has collected nearly 24,000 signatures.
"With these uncontrolled emissions, we have transformed our atmosphere into a landfill, " says Polina Karkina, project coordinator for climate and energy at Greenpeace Russia.
" His fragile balance is broken and a habitable climate becomes hostile to us and to all the other living things with which we share this planet. It is necessary to make people understand that humanity is on the brink of a climate catastrophe. And the changes will happen when we start by ourselves and stop living as if tomorrow would never come, " she concludes.
The Earth in 50 years
Oil projects that are likely to accelerate the process of global warming according to the NGO. A reality that wants to fight Greenpeace and Isobar Moscow. In the middle of the controversy of the FaceApp application last summer, the two organizations had published a series of photos entitled "Earth app" on the Instagram account of Greenpeace Russia.
