Who We Are

We are a not-for-profit facilitation project, arising to meet the needs of the flotilla. We hope to provide the foundations for future flotillas. There is no structure other than our own internal policies.

Flotilla4Change is a coalition of experienced project managers, providers of sustainable ocean travel, COP veterans and protectors of threatened indigenous Earth Defenders. We will deliver an innovative travel experience!

Flotilla4Change is a collaboration between many international partners:

The Core Steering Group:

  • Fair Ferry – Netherlands
  • VoyageVert – UK
  • Not1More – Global
  • Sail4Earth – International
  • Uon.earth – International
  • Ocean Nomads – Netherlands
  • La Via Campesina – International

The F4C sailing trip to COP 30 in Belem is open to everyone participating in the conference. Policymakers, activists, entrepreneurs, and all other stakeholders and delegates. 

We are currently looking for…

Project partners. These are people committed to helping on an ongoing basis. This might include admin, tech support, social media, campaigns and event managers, etc. See specific project partner roles below. (Please see more info below.)

Sponsors & Donors. These are people committed to helping from time to time (or one-off). This might include project work delivery, training/materials provision, financial support.

Boat owners. These are commercial and non-commercial boat owners interested in committing their vessels to the voyage.

Experienced & inexperienced crew. This includes captains, skippers, engineers, deckhands, chefs AND those with less or NO experience who want to become crew. We hope to receive funding to support the skills gap including providing training for marginlised people. 

Delegates & passengers. We’re inviting those interested in joining the voyage as passengers with no desire to be involved in crewing whilst on board. This includes delegates, NGOs, politicians and activists

Ambassadors. These are high level organisations and advocates that endorse the cause. Influencers. Our biggest hope to getting the word and positive energy out there to make this vision a reality.
