About the Program:

The #LetterToRiver Global Letter Writing Campaign is more than just a writing contest—it’s a call to action for people around the world to reconnect with nature and advocate for the rivers that sustain us all. Rivers are lifelines for ecosystems, cultures, and communities. They nourish our land, provide clean water, support biodiversity, and carry the stories of countless generations. Yet, many rivers are threatened by pollution, climate change, and unsustainable practices.

This campaign offers a meaningful way for people to express their love, gratitude, and concern for these vital waterways. This World Rivers Day 2024, we can write personal letters to reflect on what rivers mean to us, share our experiences and stories, and call for their protection. By collecting 1 million letters by 2030, UYC aims to compile a powerful collection of voices that can influence policymakers, raise awareness among the public, and foster a sense of global stewardship for river conservation.
