This Wednesday is World Environment Day.🌍 🌿 As the team at Sports Environment Alliance reflect on this year's theme being ''Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration," it's important to consider how the sport ecosystem can contribute to this mission. Here are three key ways in which sports can take action: 🌿Global Reach and Influence: Sporting events have a massive global audience. By integrating sustainable practices, sports can spread awareness and inspire millions to participate in environmental conservation efforts. 🌿Environmental Footprint: Sports venues and events consume significant resources and generate substantial waste. By adopting greener practices, such as reducing water usage and promoting recycling, they can significantly mitigate their impact on the environment. 🌿Inspiring Change: Athletes and sports organisations are role models. When they champion environmental causes, they influence fans and communities to take action in their own lives. 🌿Community and Legacy: Sports have the power to unite communities. Engaging fans in land restoration projects, promoting drought resilience practices, and raising awareness about desertification can foster a collective effort towards a sustainable future. As part of our recognition of #WorldEnvironmentday, we will be focusing this week on some of the amazing initiatives and actions that our members and partners are doing to reduce their own environmental footprint to protect the places that we play... But, if your club or sporting organisation is not sure how, or even where to start on your journey, please follow the link below: https://lnkd.in/gdyts_26 Together, as part of #GenerationRestoration, we can ensure that our passion for sports also translates into a commitment to preserving our planet for future generations. 🌱💚 #SEA_theChange #noplanetnoplay #FriendsofSEA #oneplanetteam #NoPlanetNoPlay #PlanetMatters #NoPlanetB #Sport #SportandClimate #ClimageChange #ClimateEducation #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #SustainabilityInSports #LandRestoration #EnvironmentalAwareness #SportForGood #OurLandOurFuture

Sport depends on nature to thrive – whether it is the clean air athletes breathe, healthy environments to play in, the natural resources used for equipment and arenas, fan engagement or hospitality. But sports – with thousands of events, operations, and infrastructure – also contribute to nature loss, and can impact nature at many levels. The theme for this year’s International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is “Sport for peaceful and inclusive societies.” A healthier, more resilient, peaceful, and inclusive world can be built by mobilising sport to act #ForNature. Adopting the #Sports4Nature Framework means that sport can not only mitigate their negative impacts on biodiversity, but also become nature-positive. See how UNEP and IUCN are driving #NatureAction through sport: https://lnkd.in/d_q4z8Aq

♻️🏟️ It’s no secret that sports facilities produce waste. What if we use that waste to regenerate the planet? 🏞️ The land we interact with connects us to everything we do – from our relationships with one another to the sports we enjoy. It’s essential that we prioritize its wellbeing. 🌍 In the third blog of our Regeneration Revolution: Sport’s Solutions to Helping End the Climate Crisis series, we used environmentalist Paul Hawken’s ideas to explore how the use of sports facilities for sustainable practices can help reverse the effects of climate change. 📣 Ready to dive in?

With #ClimateWeekNYC and the #SummitoftheFuture in full swing in New York City, I’m unbelievably grateful to be named as an Athlete Ambassador for World Rowing and World Wildlife Fund’s Healthy Waters Alliance! Today, the health of global water resources are in a critical state. As Jason Morrison of the Pacific Institute shared at yesterday’s #SDGSummitUSA: The thing we need most is foresight. Plans need to be in place and proactive steps need to be taken now, not AFTER our basins have become irreparably polluted or subject to irreversible aridification and run dry. We have a responsibility to protect the planet we all share, and I’m proud to champion this mission for Healthy Waters as an Ambassador within our sport to harness the enthusiasm of the #Rowing community to help protect and restore our precious waters. A quick Spark Notes Summary on some water resources I have visibility on across both my sporting career and the United Nations Global Compact: 🏢📌📆🗄️For corporates: 1️⃣download the UN Global Compact Network USA report on innovations in #CorporateWaterStewardship and practical solutions (by Mallory Cannon) https://lnkd.in/eHFvW3_r 2️⃣ Explore the CEO Water Mandate’s extensive resources as the initiative commits to positive collective impact on 100 critical basins around the world (part of the #ForwardFaster Initiative): https://lnkd.in/eYj_ZJnn 3️⃣ The Ocean Stewardship Coalition’s Blueprint for a Climate Smart Ocean: https://lnkd.in/euyCEEab 🚣⚽️🎾🏊♂️For sport: 4️⃣ For the Rowing World™️stakeholders, check out the Healthy Waters Alliance Guide on how to take action (and join me in Boston on October 12th to talk about it more in advance of the Head Of The Charles Regatta): https://lnkd.in/ejFEPrTq 5️⃣Check out resources from groups like the Green Sports Alliance , and let me know if you’ll be at Sport Positive Summit on October 8–9 so we can connect! 6️⃣Share these resources with others. As Austin Alexander (Xylem) also shared in yesterday’s panel: the technology solutions we need already exist. The innovation will come in how we work together to deploy them towards positive impact. 🤝Partnerships and Collaboration 7️⃣ Finally, if your business is interested in positive impact at the intersection of sport and sustainability, let’s talk! As you may know, the #SDGs are behind pace and there’s work to be done, especially in #CleanWaterAndSanitation, #LifeBelowWater and #PartnershipsForTheGoals! #SDG6 #SDG14 #SDG17 #HealthyWaters Pacific Institute Jason Morrison USRowing Gregory Benning Daniela Gomes Julie King Jacob Tompkins Mark Cassalia Lucy Mele Barry Richard Pearl
