Alexandra Rickham is a double paralympic bronze medalist and five-time world champion in sailing.
When she was 13, she was paralysed in a diving accident in Jamaica. Later, after years of rehab, she was offered sailing training which she says appealed to her competitive spirit.
You can see Alexandra in action here, with her sailing partner Niki Birrell at the 2016 Paralympics.
She’s now retired from professional sailing competition, but remains very connected to the sport, through her work as the director of sustainability for World Sailing - the sport's international governing body.
The organisation is renowned for leading the way in promoting voluntary climate action at every stage of the sport. Alexandra's mission is to make the sport more inclusive and sustainable.
In this episode, she talks about her accident, competing professionally, and about how sport is such a useful way to enthuse people about sustainability.
Sustainable Matters… a podcast series full of solutions and optimism for a more sustainable world, brought to you by ISEP: Transforming the world today for a sustainable future.
