“Greenpeace U.S. is working with allies to block investments in dirty energy projects, and mobilizing broad public support for a High Arctic sanctuary to protect the region from oil drilling and other industrial exploitation. At the same time, Greenpeace is building demand for clean energy and for U.S. corporate and government leaders to champion a clean energy transition at home and abroad. 2014 Greenpeace Inc. Climate (Energy and Arctic) campaign highlights include: Shell cancelled its 2014 Arctic oil drilling plans for Alaska, shortly after federal court for the 9th Circuit ruled that the 2008 lease sale under which the company sought to drill was unlawful. LEGO announced in October it would not renew its partnership with Shell following Greenpeace's global campaign. More than 100 well known US citizens are among the 1,000 influential people that have signed on to the Arctic Declaration. Prominent US signatories include: Dr. Sylvia Earle, Ted Turner, Norah Jones, Jackson Browne, authors Gregg Easterbrook and Barry Lopez, GreenFaith ED Rev. Fletcher Harper, and Jimmy Fallon. More than 400,000 people joined the largest climate march in history - the People's Climate March - two days before the UN Climate Summit in New York City in September. Amazon Web Services announced on their sustainability page a new commitment to be 100% renewably powered.

Apple announced construction of its third major solar farm in North Carolina, and Microsoft announced it would power its Chicago data center via a massive, 175 MW, purchase of wind energy in Illinois.

“Greenpeace U.S. is using cutting-edge scientific research, and collaborating with Tribal communities, scientists, NGO allies, and seafood retailers to pressure the U.S. fisheries bodies to support / implement sustainable fisheries management and establish ocean sanctuaries in the Bering Sea, Ross Sea and elsewhere. Greenpeace U.S is also working with NGO allies to pressure the Obama Administration to demonstrate leadership to end whaling and reform the International Whaling Commission to be conservation agency. 2014 Greenpeace Inc. Ocean campaign highlights include: Compass Group, which supplies nearly 2 million pounds of tuna every year to hospitals, universities, and other institutions, committed to ensure all of its tuna is sustainable by the end of 2014. President Obama used his authority under the Antiquities Act to expand the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, creating the world's largest marine reserve in one of the most pristine marine environments left on earth. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council initiated an official policy process in April to consider protective measures for the Bering Sea canyons and shelf-break. North American seafood company High Liner Foods announced in March that it would not buy products sourced from Icelandic companies linked to whaling. In November, for the first time in 104 years, Japan did not send its fleet to hunt whales in the Southern Ocean, heeding a decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in February calling on Japan to stop issuing permits for this whaling.”
