Organizers of sailing agree to simplify the schedule leading up to the Olympics in Paris in 2024.

In a move that it claims will benefit sailors, national organizations, and event organizers on all continents, World Sailing has finalized competition dates for four significant Olympic-class regattas over the next two years. Olympic fans can buy Olympic Sailing Tickets from our website.

In order to better coordinate the calendar, World Sailing has combined the Trofeo Princess Sofia in Mallorca, the Allianz Regatta in the Netherlands, the Semaine Olympic Francoise at Hyeres, and Kieler Woche in Germany.

It asserts that by making it simpler for sailors to participate in a larger variety of competitions, the change will help encourage Olympic-class sailing. According to World Sailing’s director of events Alastair Fox, “each of these regattas has a tremendous pedigree and provides the foundations for both sailing in the Olympic Games and the Sailing World Championships.”

The four events’ schedule has now been decided.

The Semaine Olympic Françoise will start on April 29 of 2023, just after the Trofeo Princess Sofia of Spain. The start date for the Allianz Regatta is given as May 31, while the Kieler Woche, which will take place at the German sailing venue from the 1972 Olympics, is set for June 17 of the following year.

The first three events are each expected to start two days earlier on the calendar in 2024, but the Kieler Woche is expected to last from June 22 to June 30, wrapping up just over a month before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympics.

In the interests of our Member National Authorities and the sailors, World Sailing is dedicated to improving engagement with stakeholders in the sailing community, Fox continued. Cross-promotional opportunities can be created through collaboration, and I know the World Sailing team is looking forward to working with the individual event teams to provide further advantages.

In the end, we want to collaborate with events on every continent to improve sailing in the Olympic classes for athletes everywhere and to make it more affordable for our Member National Associations worldwide.

According to World Sailing, the goal is for all four competitions to be combined under the World Cup brand in the long run. This will allow for a more unified and cooperative planning process for upcoming Olympic cycles.

 

As a founding signatory of the Sports for Nature framework, World Sailing joins the IOC.

The first-ever Sports for Nature Framework has been signed by World Sailing along with 20 other sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as a founding partner and the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

The new global goals for biodiversity, which nations are anticipated to adopt later this week at the Convention on Biological Diversity 15th Conference of the Parties meeting (COP15) in Montreal, Canada, are pledged to by signatories, who promise to uphold four fundamental principles.

Chief Executive Officer of World Sailing, David Graham, remarked, “Sailing takes place in close proximity to nature, and those who participate in our sport are frequently ardent stewards of their surroundings. Due to our affiliation with Sports for Nature, World Sailing is committed to collaborating with others to safeguard the areas where our sailing communities live, work, and play.”

At every level of the sport, World Sailing has made a commitment to environmental sustainability. World Sailing has established 56 distinct targets as part of its Sustainability Agenda 2030, covering a wide range of topics in six key operational areas, including water quality, single-use plastics, carbon footprint reduction, maintaining the health of marine biodiversity, participation, and gender equality.

All World Sailing Special Events are required to create a thorough sustainability plan that complies with the ISO 20121 sustainable event management system, the UN Clean Seas initiative, which protects the oceans from plastic pollution, and the UNFCCC’s Sports for Climate Action Framework, which requires sporting events and organization’s to measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions.

About the Sports for Nature Framework

By 2030 and beyond, the Sports for Nature Framework, which was jointly developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the United Nations Environment Programmed (UNEP), and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), seeks to deliver transformative action for nature across sports.

The Framework unites sports federations, leagues, clubs, and events in a commitment to safeguard vital species and habitats, prevent harm to crucial ecosystems, build sustainable supply chains, and inform and motivate the larger athletic community to take action for the environment.

The framework’s signatories agree to create and carry out action plans for each of the four principles, and to annually update a panel of experts who will vouch for the legitimacy and efficacy of the implemented measures. IUCN will take the lead in coordinating with the Framework’s signatories on behalf of the founding partners and engage with Sails of Change Foundation, a group committed to the preservation and renewal of biodiversity, to offer signatories technical assistance, resources, and training.

Complete list of the Framework’s original signatories:

• Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 International Olympic Committee
• National Olympic Committee of Spain
• Olympics in Papua New Guinea Committee
• National Canoe Association (ICF)
• Federation International de Table Tennis (ITTF)
• United Cyclists of the World (UCI)
• Global Rowing (FISA)
• International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation of the World Sailing (IWWF)
• International SAMBO Federation (FIAS)
• University Games of the World (FISU)
• Squash World Federation (WSF)
• Forest Green Rovers AlUla Sports Club England Squash
• We Play Green in the Ocean Race.
• E1 Series
• Extreme E

“By 2030, it is imperative to stop the loss of biodiversity, and everyone—including those who participate in sports and leisure—must do their part. The Sports for Nature Framework represents a positive move. We are grateful to the IOC, IUCN, and UNEP for working together on this innovative effort to promote biodiversity in sports across the globe under the auspices of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

 This level of dedication from sports federations, leagues, clubs, and events is heartening, and I want all sports organization’s to follow suit by taking immediate action for biodiversity “said Elizabeth Mrema, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

“The IOC is of the opinion that everyone has a duty to protect the environment. We aim to assist the sports community in minimizing any detrimental effects on nature and instigating nature-friendly action as a founding partner of the Sport for Nature Framework “said Tricia Smith, an IOC member who was present for the launch.

 This commitment “builds on the success of the UN Sport for Climate Action Framework, and the IOC’s own efforts to address the climate and biodiversity crises: reducing emissions by half by 2030, pledging to say “no-go” to any long-term Olympic construction within protected areas, establishing high environmental standards for our food sourcing, and creating an Olympic Forest to aid in restoring degraded land in Mali and Senegal.

“Anyone who has gone for a run through a forest or gone sailing on a lake is aware of how closely sports and nature are related. Sports also have a variety of other effects on nature at the same time.

 This Framework intends to assist sports organization’s in comprehending their connections with nature, taking steps to lessen adverse effects on their supply chains and operations, and actively contributing to a future where nature is valued. IUCN is honored to use its knowledge of sports to assist in these initiatives “said Stewart Maginnis, deputy director general of the IUCN.

UNEP’s Director of Ecosystems, Susan Gardner, stated: “As the playing surfaces for sports that we used to take for granted are literally melting away, eight significant winter sports events have already had to be postponed this season. We are hoping that this new structure will garner support from the whole athletic community so that we can move quickly to protect the environment.”

IUCN Patron of Nature, philanthropist, and creator of Sails of Change Dona Bertarelli said: “Sport is increasingly being looked at as a net contributor to the preservation and restoration of nature by sports organizers, administrators, clubs, players, sponsors, and fans. The new Sports for Nature Framework will assist sports in becoming more beneficial to nature rather than just reducing their detrimental effects on biodiversity.”

“Since we think sport can and should make a difference, Paris 2024 is thrilled to support this effort. Paris 2024 accepts its duties in response to the issues of today by heavily relying (95%) on temporary or existing sport venues to lessen its consequences, preferring natural locations to prevent soil sealing, and incorporating extended nature preservation principles into all of its procurement.

Beginning in 2015, at the early stages of planning for the Paris Games, these and other efforts to safeguard nature are being implemented across all of our activities through 2024, with a strong focus on leaving a lasting legacy “Tony Estanguet, the president of Paris 2024, said.
