THE LIVING WITH RIVERS LABEL

“A Label that speaks of possibilities

and shares enthusiasm! ” 

Erik Orsenna, IGFR President

In line with the first international action, Living with Rivers 2022, IFGR is continuing to promote actions in the field for the Future of Rivers!

In 2024, IFGR is setting up with its expert committee the first International River Initiatives Label.

The aim of this label is to highlight positive initiatives, and tell of the commitment of actors rooted in the territories in response to the major challenges facing rivers.

Reference indicators established by the IFGR expert committee are used to select initiatives in France and abroad according to a systemic and multidisciplinary vision that takes into account uses.

This multidisciplinary approach opens the selection to a large range of initiatives whose expected goals and impacts should strengthen the sustainability of rivers, their territories and their populations.

Our intention is to provide support to the contributors of initiatives as close as possible to their needs, and facilitate their actions (financial prizes for the 3 winners, the contribution of expertise and visibility, networking, etc.).

We are convinced that it is by action in the field that we can make an impact collectively and inspire other actors. Therefore, we want to place ourselves in the service of those who act concretely in the territories.
