“Lina made a profound impact by helping us reframe AstraZeneca’s travel and carbon restrictions, not as limitations, but as an opportunity to drive positive change.

She effectively communicated the “why” behind carbon reduction goals, emphasizing that these efforts should be viewed as an integral part of our mission to protect both public health and the environment. Her insights inspired our team to adopt new practices with enthusiasm and showed us how environmental responsibility can be a competitive advantage rather than a challenge.”

Sports for Nature: Making an Impact at Paris 2024
Sports for Nature: Making an Impact at Paris 2024

Sports for Nature (S4N) mobilizes the power of sports organizations to restore and protect nature, equipping them with practical tools for effective action. It is a collaborative initiative by the IUCN, International Olympic Committee (IOC), United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy.

Upon the invitation of the IOC and the S4N teams, I had the privilege to moderate the event during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. We heard from leaders in the French government, the IOC, the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee, CBD, as well as Olympic Champions, a freshly-minted Olympic medalist from Paris, and heads of sustainability of several international sporting organizations.

The event culminated in welcoming 14 new S4N Framework Signatories - organizations determined to take decisive action. It was heartening to see a room bursting with leaders from some of the most influential sports organizations, unequivocally committed to maximizing the role of sports in safeguarding nature!
