Letters to the Earth
Letters to the Earth
Letters to the Earth is an award-winning creative campaign and organisation calling on people around the world to write and share a Letter in response to the planetary emergency.
Since February 2019, thousands have taken part expressing their hopes and fears, giving voice to nature and painting their visions of a fairer, greener and thriving world: children as young as 3, parents, teachers, renowned climate scientists, politicians, journalists, activists, Indigenous elders, business leaders, cultural figures such as Vivienne Westwood, writers such as Ben Okri, actors such as Mark Rylance and artists such as Yoko Ono.
The award-winning book Letters to the Earth; Writing to a Planet in Crisis, published by HarperCollins in the UK and US and introduced by Dame Emma Thompson chronicles for the first time how humanity is processing the impacts of climate change and ecological breakdown. In 2022 Letters to the Earth won the inaugural Global Dimensions Teachers Choice Award for our ‘deeply moving and motivating’ educational and community resources.
