UnDam the UN!
Tell the United Nations: Dams = methane emissions,
displaced communities & extinction.
Dams ≠ Carbon offsets or climate solutions
The UN has already approved more than 2,000 hydroelectric projects as carbon offsets. This is unacceptable. Sign now to tell the UN and member nations: Dams don't belong in the Paris Agreement.
The UnDam the UN campaign is brought to you by
The Rivers for Climate Coalition
The Rivers for Climate Coalition (R4C) is a global alliance of organizations and individuals. Our mission is to safeguard the world’s rivers by advocating for international policies and financial mechanisms that prioritize ecological integrity, climate resilience, and community rights over the false solution of destructive hydropower.
The knowledge that free-flowing rivers offer a valuable climate solution is rarely spoken about at critical international decision-making events. Likewise, the advocacy for their protection, maintenance, and restoration is largely underrepresented. This reality is why R4C was created in 2021 when we launched our Rivers for Climate Declaration, and why we are seeking support for our 2025 UnDam the UN campaign to persuade the UN to stop recognizing hydroelectric development as clean energy.
Our Goals
Eliminate hydropower from international climate finance frameworks
Promote dam removal as a climate solution
Protect free-flowing rivers
Amplify Indigenous voices and uphold FPIC
Expose greenwashing in climate policy
