Summary/purpose of the position
Action oordinator
The Actions Unit of Greenpeace East Asia is responsible for bringing our campaign strategies to life, through inspiring, attention-grabbing offline tactics - including direct action, direct communication, protest and artistic intervention - in order to create a just, sustainable future for all.
