World Sailing - declare a climate and ecological emergency

The Issue

The world is in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. The climate and ecological crisis is already upon us. The seas are full of plastic, rising and acidifying. Extreme storms, floods, heat waves, droughts, wildfires and crop failures are creating millions of climate refugees. 200 species are going extinct, daily! 

The world’s leading scientists state in the IPCC Report that we have 11 years before we reach the point of no return with global warming. Prince Charles declared this week that the next 18 months are critical. We must ACT NOW!

World Sailing, must act now, by first declaring a climate and ecological emergency and then focus on reducing the sports impact on the planet.
