Sustainability Sessions

World Sailing has launched a series of sustainability education sessions for all stakeholders – including Member National Authorities (MNAs), Class Associations, sailing clubs and athletes.

The aim is to upskill our stakeholders, enabling them to take action on sustainability, as our insight says that few than half of MNAs have policies on sustainability, most do not have biosecurity policies, and 90% do not measure, reduce or offset their carbon impact.
Over 50% of MNAs have asked for support to develop their sustainability strategy.
