Sustainability Sessions

World Sailing is launching 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.
Season 2 will be coming in autumn 2024.

11 sessions on a range of environmental and social topics. Each session was recorded and can be found here.

The sessions included:

  1. Clean Regattas and Classes by Sailors for the Sea
  2. Getting Started with Sustainability by The Toolbox
  3. Life Cycle Assessments by Marine Shift 360
  4. Sustainable Class by The Italian RS21 Class
