The Book
The Campaign
In the spring of 2019 the callout for Letters in response to the climate and ecological emergency was launched. We invite people to take a moment, to switch off the noise of daily distraction and horror, from business as usual, and to write a letter. This can be to or from the Earth, future or past generations, other species or people in positions of power.
​
Letters have been written in the classroom, at home, in organisations, in communities, in protest, online and in lockdown. People all over the world are adding their voice to this greatest story of our times - to protect, love and restore this place we call home.
​
2021 is the year we hope to recover from the pandemic. It is also the year when global leaders raise their ambition and make some of the most important decisions in history. At COP26, the next UN Climate Conference, hosted in the UK in November, the world is poised to take decisive climate action.
