Mads Christensen

Mads Christensen is the Executive Director of Greenpeace International and a life-long environmental advocate. He joined the global movement as a youth volunteer and rose through the ranks while leading bold missions from the Amazon to Greenland. Three decades in, he remains driven by hope, persistence, and the fight for a greener, more just world through global cooperation and multilateralism.
    On the occasion of the Munich Security Conference, Greenpeace activists protest with larger-than-life sculptures of US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Marienplatz in Munich. The two heads of government stand on a model of a gas tanker with the words ‘Fossil Gas’ written on its side. Greenpeace activists hold banners reading ‘Safe energy instead of gas dependency’ and ‘Break Free From Tyrants’
