#WeAreWatching is a monumental flag, showing an eye made up of thousands of portraits contributed from around the world. It flies on a crane the height of a 10-storey building to hold leaders accountable as they decide the future of our planet. Its message is crystal-clear: The world is watching!
#WeAreWatching recently collaborated with Greenpeace on their Global Plastics Treaty campaign. The flag was raised in Busan, South Korea, during the UNEP’s fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (INC-5). Dan Acher's globally participative installation has also flown in Madrid (COP25), Geneva and London. Various UK cities hosted it on its way to November 2021's COP26 in Glasgow.
The Greenpeace Global Plastics We Are Watching campaign is now closed. You can still zoom in below to see who contributed to the flag and what they had to say.
Students, workers, farmers, elders and children the world over are demanding urgent climate action. Take a closer look at the faces on the flag and have your friends and family add theirs today. Together we can hold leaders accountable.
