Description

The world of sports has a unique and powerful platform to drive climate action. As the industry grapples with the dual challenge of reducing its own environmental footprint and adapting to the growing impacts of climate change, sports organizations must take the lead in building a more sustainable future.

To raise awareness and inspire action, the UN Climate Change as part of its Sports for Climate Action initiative has developed the Sports and Climate Action e-learning series, in technical collaboration with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and with financial support from adidas. This series provides sports professionals, decision-makers, and enthusiasts with the knowledge and tools to contribute to a low-emission and climate-resilient future in sports.

The series consists of two tracks: Introductory and Advanced. This Advanced Track is primarily designed for the staff of sports organizations. It builds on the foundational concepts introduced in the Introductory Track and dives deeper into actionable strategies for integrating climate considerations into sports organizations’ operations, business strategies, and advocacy efforts.
