Dear
Sviatoslav,
March 14, 2025, is the 28th Day
of Action for Rivers. Please join the global movement to
honor life-sustaining freshwater on this day of
protection and celebration!
From providing freshwater and
supporting biodiversity to regulating the climate and
sustaining cultural traditions, healthy, free-flowing
rivers have always been critical for people and the
planet. But rivers worldwide are at risk–increasingly
fragmented, polluted, and undermined by climate change
and irresponsible development projects. When rivers are
at risk, so too is our collective
future.
The theme of this year's
International Day of Action for Rivers is Our Rivers,
our Future. Together we’ll shine a spotlight on the
role of rivers in supporting our planet’s health and all
life on Earth. Because the future of every river shapes
the future of our planet. Whether your community is
working to remove dams, oppose water privatization, or
seek a voice in river governance, we invite you to unite
with communities worldwide to champion free-flowing
rivers, protect the right to water, and advocate for
local voices in river governance.
|
The International Day of Action
for Rivers is a time to come together and rise in
solidarity with rivers and the communities that protect
and defend them. By taking action on behalf of rivers,
we affirm that we can ensure that communities have
access to clean, free-flowing water and the right to
participate in decisions directly affecting rivers now,
and for generations to come.

You can be a part of this
movement by taking action for rivers on March 14.
Whether it’s attending an event or action, or organizing
your own--a river clean up, rafting or kayaking your
favorite river, performing river ceremonies, holding
webinar discussions, participating in a march, dam
protest, campaign, or any other action needed in your
community–we invite you to get involved and share your
event with the wider movement!
