Our new members are spread across 10 countries such as Bosnia & Herzegovina (1); Brazil (1); Cameroon (6); Croatia (1); Iraq (1); Ireland (1); Japan (12); Netherlands (1); Spain (15) and Sweden (1).

Bray Town is our first new member from Ireland since 2006. Hopefully it will be the first of many there as we approach the launch of the 2020 Vision Campaign's first Irish national campaign drive. For the membership of Bray thanks goes to Green Cllr. Caroline Burrell, who has undertaken various efforts on behalf of the Campaign following an introduction to Mayors for Peace at the Nuclear Free Local Authorities All-Ireland Forum last March 13th.

In Spain, the continued remarkable growth must once again be attributed to the inspiring work of our Executive Official city, Granollers and cooperation with Greenpeace Spain.
