It provides an overview of the organization, the legal foundation, trends, capacity, potential, and risks. The term NGO (non-governmental organization) was first developed in 1945 following the United Nations' (UN) need to differentiate its charger between the various participating rights of the specialized intergovernmental agencies and the various private international organizations. The NGO structures vary significantly based on the activities of the NGO. Greenpeace is an NGO that is composed of independent organizations whose core mission is to support a change in behavior and attitudes, conserve and protect the environment, as well as promote peace in the world. Greenpeace is made up of 26 independent regional and national organizations in more than 55 countries throughout Africa, Europe, the Pacific, Asia, and the Americas. The organization is independent of corporate and political interests as it does not accept political or corporate donations to undertake its various programs. The various campaigns of the NGO use creative confrontation and non-violence as a means of exposing the environmental problems in the globe as well as promoting the development of solutions to such problems. The solutions that are developed by the organization are focused on achieving a peaceful and green future. The main goal of Greenpeace is to ensure that the earth has the ability to effectively nurture its diversity. Also known as Greenpeace International (GPI), the NGO was registered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. GPI undertakes a number of roles, such as coordinating the campaigns, developing policies and standards, and well as support the various national and regional organizations (NROs) through technical support and grants.
