Letters for Life on Earth

Thousands of Avaaz members have written to elected leaders like Abiy Ahmed. This page contains 1,616 messages written from members in 90 countries to the prime minister. Messages are presented in no particular order, unedited. Members were asked to write letters to world leaders after signing the open letter, which reads:

"We global citizens are deeply concerned by scientists warning that ecosystems critical to sustaining life on Earth could collapse in our lifetimes. We call on you to meet existing targets to protect biodiversity, forge a new agreement so that at least 50% of our lands and oceans are protected and restored, and ensure our planet is completely sustainably managed. This must take into consideration the needs of human development and have the active support of indigenous peoples. This long-term goal for nature can restore harmony with our home."
