Sailing for a more sustainable future

Sailing for a more sustainable future

Floris van Hees (1978) and Ivar Smits (1974) were deeply concerned about climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social inequality. It had become increasingly clear to them that humanity was facing an existential ecological and social crisis that demanded a drastic change of course. But what could that new course be? To find out, they quit their jobs and left Amsterdam in 2016 to sail around the world on their renovated sailboat Lucipara 2.

As Sailors for Sustainability, they made it their mission to find solutions that could accelerate the transition to an ecologically sustainable and socially just society. Eight years later they had circumnavigated the world and returned home. Now, they are working on a book about their journey for a more sustainable planet.

Check out their inspiring YouTube channel and their homepage for more information.

If you are interested in High Latitude Sailing, I have written a book by the same title together with Bob Shepton. You can buy High Latitude Sailing on Amazon.
