The Report at a Glance
Risk-taking is part of Greenpeace’s identity and therefore central to their usual risk-management processes. However, over the last decade, a series of emergencies in different national contexts (India, Russia, Hungary) has highlighted that
work was needed to ensure all local offices were aligned in their approach to ‘smart risk-taking’. In order to build the capacity of the independent
national/regional Greenpeace Organisations (NROs) to mitigate threats – or to be resilient enough to deal with their negative impacts.
These tactics have helped the Greenpeace network to become better prepared. They have raised awareness of the challenges, and critical incident management structures are now present in many NROs.
This case study focuses on a uniquely proactive response from the Greenpeace offices, in relation to the threat and damage of Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation (SLAPPs) in the US and beyond.
