Greenpeace calls for global greenhouse gas emissions topeak in 2015 and to decrease as close to zero as possible by 2050. For this Greenpeace calls for the industrialized countries to cut their emissions at least 40% by 2020 (from 1990 levels) and to give substantial funding for developing countries to build a sustainable energy capacity, to adapt to the inevitable consequences of global warming and to stop deforestation by 2020.

Together with EREC, Greenpeace has formulated a global energy scenario, "Energy evolution", where 80% of the world's total energy is produced with renewables and the emssions of the energy sector decrease by over 80% of the 1990 levels by 2050. Using direct action, Greenpeace has protested several times against coal by occupying coal power plants and blocking coal shipments and mining operations in places such as New Zealand, Svalbard, Australia, and United Kingdom. Greenpeace is also critical towards extracting petroleum from oil sands and has used direct action to block the oil sand operations at Athabasca, Canada.
