Sport can span age groups as well as social groups and reaches into communities with faithful, committed and passionate supporters. So when a sport is able to show leadership on an issue, inform and honestly promote both the causes and the solutions, it transcends traditional political mechanisms and boundaries and it becomes a vehicle that takes supporters on a journey they might otherwise have ignored. It's a beautiful, powerful thing. It's more than sport. For the forward thinkers, Championing Nature through Sports is the game changer..

Inspired by the energy of EURO 2024 in the city, we brought the Ocean to Berlin today. I was honoured to attend Goal 30x30: Championing Nature through Sports. This crucial World Economic Forum invited event, expertly moderated by Hashendra Wijesinha, brought together 40 leaders to discuss leveraging the power of sports for a net-zero, nature-positive future. The insights and potential for collaboration were immense. Thank you to our hosts, Eric Jing (Chairman and CEO of Ant Group), Dr. Grethel Aguilar (Director-General of IUCN) and Nicola Christine Port (Chief Legal Officer & Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum) for their leadership. The momentum from this event gives me great hope for the future of sports and sustainability. Change makers and speakers included: Emma P.
