Global projects at Greenpeace Greenpeace is a network united by a shared commitment to global impact in our environmental mission. Our strength lies in cross-border collaboration that delivers more together than any of us could alone. Global projects are coordinated by independent National Regional Offices (NRO’s) that choose to come together to run a project for campaigning at a global level. As a result, there isn’t a defined hierarchy, there is a shared responsibility to implement the project to meet its strategic goals and responsibly manage the people coordinating the project. The Global Project Staffing Model allows us to pool our resources, staff, and budgets into ambitious projects. Working across time zones our local action drives global impact, and global wins reinforce local power.
