Exploring Greenpeace’s effort to expand its engagement in the Circumpolar North in the 21st century, this book examines how this work is affected and informed by the organisation’s controversial legacy of anti-sealing campaigning in the 1970s and 1980s.

Presenting the fallout for peoples and cultures targeted by Greenpeace’s anti-sealing campaigning as a pivotal dimension to the organisation’s history, the book argues that this must first be acknowledged in order to understand how Greenpeace has developed more positive working relationships with northern Indigenous peoples in recent years. The book looks to dispel the misconception that Greenpeace is universally rejected in the Circumpolar North, whilst also highlighting that its engagement and alliances are being built in the shadow of Greenpeace’s yet-to-be fully tackled history as a leading part of the anti-sealing movement.

Greenpeace in the Circumpolar North is ideal for courses and research with a focus on Arctic studies, environmental activism and Indigenous studies, and for those interested in learning more about the complex legacy of Greenpeace.
