Twenty-five years after Greenpeace India was registered, many of the questions that shaped our earliest campaigns feel more urgent than ever. As cities grow, temperatures rise, and environmental decisions become increasingly contested, this edition looks beyond the headlines to ask a deeper question: what stories are shaping the future we are building, and who gets to tell them?
Witness 1.26 brings together Greenpeace India’s work from the first quarter of 2026 through campaigns on people-first cities, climate accountability, and community-led action. Alongside these stories, we revisit the words of former Executive Director G. Ananthapadmanabhan, whose call to “constantly, persistently question the lies” continues to resonate today.
This edition is both a reflection and a conversation across time. It celebrates twenty-five years of people-powered campaigning while recognising that every generation must ask difficult questions again, challenge familiar narratives, and imagine futures rooted in justice, care, and courage.
