I learn so much from Auden Schendler and the Aspen Skiing Company. They push the envelope on all things corporate sustainability, so their recent sustainability report is going to get a lot of love from me on LinkedIn the next few days. Look at their strategy. It starts with Wielding Power, or using their position to push legislators, customers, and vendors to make real change on sustainability. Not just measure emissions, which they call a "baseline credibility as a climate actor." But write letters to senators, push for board changes at vendors, and leave industry groups that don't stand up to their values. Everyone working on anything corporate-ESG needs to read Aspen Skiing Company's sustainability report. You might not agree with all of the approach. But you're going to learn something. #sustainability #climate #csr

How does the campsite of the future look like? 🏕️🐝🌌 Together with Lucie Smolková and Martin Schütz I'm cycling from the city of Venice to Camping Ca'Savio as part of the Systemic Cycles Weaving Guide course 🚲 In collaboration with the MonViso Institute and Systemic Design Labs ⎟ETH Zurich they're on a journey towards becoming a resilient and future-ready campsite 🤝 How do you imagine a regenerative campsite to be like? And do you know of any examples? We'd love to learn more! #systemiccycles #regeneration #resilience #bikepacking #systemsthinking

Just read this book "Let My People Go Surfing" by Yvon Chouinard! 📚 It’s about Patagonia, a company that combines environmental activism with business success. I like Chouinard's vision of incorporating sustainability into every aspect of the company's operations. I recommend this book to fellow colleagues and employers! #LetMyPeopleGoSurfing #Sustainability #BusinessImpact 🌎

🌍 Exciting News! Predictores is thrilled to have contributed to a groundbreaking project featured in Prof. Dr. Uwe Seebacher's latest blog post: "How to Save 1,4 bio Tonnes CO2 Emissions in Winter Ski Tourism Until 2030". 🚀 Our team provided crucial information and predictions for the innovative Dune Glide Oasis project, a pioneering approach in eco-tourism. This project introduces sand skiing as a sustainable alternative to winter sports, addressing the challenges posed by climate change. The concept not only offers huge opportunities for so far underused desert regions but also for the entire direct and indirect ski sport industry needing to develop new sand skis, boards, apparels, lift infrastructures and much more. And due to the fact that the concept is based on a 360 degree circular economy model the RoI of such Dune ski and snowboard resorts are higher compared to conventional winter ski resorts and thus, skiing again will become more affordable and through accessible for more people. "We need to not only think the new normal but also make it happen, as in the future why could not the FIS Ski world cup be hosted also in sand dunes...!" states international methods and structural scientist and master mind of predictive intelligence Prof. Dr. Uwe Seebacher. 🔍 Predictores' role was pivotal in offering insights and forecasting necessary for the success of this eco-friendly initiative. We're proud to have collaborated on this project, showcasing a harmonious blend of adventure, environmental stewardship, and cultural integration. 🌟 Read more about this visionary initiative and our contribution in Prof. Seebacher's blog post: https://lnkd.in/gtCFPdxg #EcoTourism #Innovation #roi #ClimateAction #PredictiveAnalytics #Predictores #cop28 #emeralddeal

Undertaking the remarkable challenge of completing 7 marathons across 7 continents in just 7 days 🏃♂️🌍 aims to spotlight the urgent need for environmental action. But does the air travel involved contradict my eco-conscious goals? 🤔 Air travel undeniably has a significant carbon footprint. To counteract this, I am dedicated to neutralizing the emissions from my journey by supporting projects focused on reforestation and environmental protection. In 2025, I will embrace this formidable dual challenge with a primary goal: to elevate awareness about the pressing environmental crisis. This journey is more than a test of endurance; it represents a pledge to eco-sustainability. Yet, the question arises: Can one align globe-trotting adventures with environmental stewardship? ✅ Motivate all to stretch their boundaries without forsaking their principles. ✅ Enhance recognition of the environmental impact of athletic travel, while exploring efficient strategies to achieve sports ambitions with minimal ecological footprint. ✅ Generate funding for specific eco-friendly projects in every continent visited. We are proud to donate these funds to these associations :  🌳 Rainforest Trust: Dedicated to the conservation of tropical forests and the protection of endangered species. 🌳 One Tree Planted: Committed to worldwide reforestation, planting a tree for each dollar received, with projects across North America, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. 🌳 Eden Reforestation Projects: Aims to reduce extreme poverty and rejuvenate healthy forests by hiring local communities to plant millions of trees annually. 🌳 EcoTree International: Plant trees to combat climate change and deforestation, and raise public awareness of the importance of trees and forests. 🌳 Emirates Nature-WWF : tackles environmental challenges to protect endangered species and their habitats and promote sustainable management of natural resources Support the World Marathon Challenge, where the zeal for running converges with a profound dedication to our planet. Embark with me on this journey, and let's collectively work towards a greener future! ➡ https://climefluencer.com #worldmarathonchallenge #running #marathon #environment

Do look out for this survey coming out!

The threat of E.coli is at large in the River Seine! The Paris Olympic Triathlon could be cancelled due to poor-quality water levels. And depending on the weather… 🌧️ If heavy rain falls, it could raise levels of E. coli in the water - making it unsafe for swimmers. Feels like Deja Vu… Last year at the World Triathlon Championship Series in Sunderland. 🏊 57 people suffered from sickness and diarrhoea after swimming events. Water quality tests revealed elevated levels of E coli, which raised concerns about sewage discharges. Can swimmers trust the cleanliness of seas, rivers and lakes these days? Legal actions were taken against the government regarding sewage discharges. But, there are still questions about how water quality is managed and what implications this might have for future events. Future events like… The Shropshire Triathlon - that I’m taking part in this year 😂 → But let’s be honest we can’t ignore the effects of water pollution… Water pollution is a major concern with serious implications for the environment, wildlife, and human health. 🦠 These pollutants can disrupt aquatic ecosystems, harm marine life, and affect the quality of water we depend on for drinking, farming, and recreation. How concerned are you about the impact of water pollution on public health and the environment? https://lnkd.in/ejSvtAFW

There’s a lot to smile about when your work involves cycling, picturesque vineyards and cellar doors …   TRC is working with the Orange Bicycle Users Group (BUGs) on a business case for an off-road cycle trail. Specifically, the trail would be designed to get people to, from and around the region’s wonderful high-altitude cool climate wineries.   A concept that is already used in many wine regions, including the Clare Valley, cycling is an ideal slow tourism approach to enjoying the region’s wares. This business case will determine if it is feasible and outline the potential the costs and benefits.   TRC has made one site visit this month to get a feel for the proposed trail, and interviewed a range of stakeholders including Orange City Council, Orange 360, Orange Region Vignerons Association (ORVA) and some individual wineries and providers.   From here, TRC will further define the route and look at the costs of the proposal. A second site visit will be undertaken early next month as a prelude to undertaking the economic modelling for the business case.   Pictured are TRC’s project lead Chris Rose and Orange BUGS president, Carolynne James, staking out the trail. #recreationaltrails #winetourism #slowtourism #sustainabletourism

If we are to halve our carbon emissions by 2030, being able to easily take the train between the UK and the Alps is essential. There is a lot more to do to improve this service (we are working on this - watch this space) but in the meantime, this article by the excellent Daniel Elkan shows us how. And it also pulls together many things dear to my heart: Trains, mountains, skiing, sustainability, Montagne Verte & AliKats Mountain Holidays #sustainabletourism https://lnkd.in/eCyEeGhg
