Thank you for joining International
Rivers and partners in signing on to our campaign,
Rivers for Recovery, a global call to protect rivers in a just
and green recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As promised, we are pleased to share
with you our new report, ‘Rivers
for Recovery: Protecting Rivers and Rights as Essential for a Just
and Green Recovery’, which was formally launched TODAY, December
the 3rd.
Please help us further
elevate the Rivers for Recovery campaign and share widely through
your networks! You can do so using the social
media toolkit here which includes key hashtags, graphics,
videos, and links to the report!
 
The Rivers for Recovery report explores the urgent need
for river protection during the pandemic and beyond, overcoming the
troubling legacy of large dams, and the availability of truly
sustainable and just energy and development options. The report
supports the global campaign in demanding a recovery that is rooted
in climate justice and that protects our rivers as critical
lifelines –- supporting biodiversity, water supply, food production,
Indigenous peoples, and diverse populations around the world –-
rather than damming and polluting them in pursuit of profit and
economic growth.
We also
invite you to join us for an online event:
Rivers for Recovery:
A global
call to protect rivers and rights
as essential for a just and
green recovery
