So rewarding to see @POTUS supporting the call for greater pay equity in sport.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all.

But right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share.

It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.

[World Sailing Trust @WSailingTrust]

Decades of efforts to provide female sailors greater opportunities in the sport are finally coming to fruition. The shift is happening and it's persistent. https://t.co/BzLU9AgwCj

Our ocean is one of the best climate allies we have.

But it has been largely overlooked and underinvested to date.

New @oceanpanel analysis shows how to fully leverage the ocean help put the world back on track to 1.5°C: https://t.co/2qlwY55ByU

[Peter Thomson @ThomsonFiji]

Nature is the Circular Economy. We borrow resources from #Nature for the products & services we require - there is nowhere else to get them. But once we are done with them, these products & materials must be returnable to Nature as healthy nutrients for the circle to continue.

🌊 Plastic pollution is a menace to marine life! Take a look at this powerful infographic showcasing its impact on our oceans' inhabitants. 🐢🌊 Let's reduce, reuse, and recycle to protect these precious creatures and their habitats. 🌏💙

Sailing is riddled with anecdotal evidence that there are issues which are ultimately impacting women and girl's participation in sailing so let's understand where the issues are.

We need to start this conversation in sailing

[UN Women @UN_Women]

⛔ Globally, #WomenInSport struggle with a massive pay gap, fewer opportunities & sponsorships, less airtime, and unequal playing conditions.

And when they succeed, women often face toxic abuse online and offline.

📣We need the ambition and commitment to address these issues!

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Today is #EarthOverShootDay!

As of Wednesday, humankind has already used up all the resources the Earth can regenerate in 2023.

This is a stark reminder to take action #ForNature & stop this deadly trend.

The Project Juno report called for more research and for performance leaders and coaches to become more literate with the challenges and opportunities which are unique to the physiology and needs of females.
This ⬇️is a case in point

[Women in Sport @Womeninsport_uk]

We need to understand women's bodies ⚠️

82% female football players have reported discomfort in their boots, according to research by the European Clubs Association.

If most male footballers were having issues with their shoes, something would have been done by now. 😡

Continuing the important discussion with some clear calls to action across our sport.

Evidence for #ClimateChange

1. 🌡️ Increased global temperatures

2. 🌊 Rising sea level

3. ❄️ Shrinking glaciers

4. ♨️ Increased heat content of oceans

5. 🧊 Reduced Arctic and Antarctic sea ice

All because human GHG emissions 🏭

There is a swelling tide of momentum for #ocean health. 🌊 But leaders must ratify & implement recent global agreements for the benefit of the ocean & those who depend on it. Join our call for bold steps to finish the unfinished business of #OceanAction! 🌊 #WorldOceanDay #SDG14+
