Background
As part of the global response to climate change, which requires the involvement of all actors of society, UN Climate Change gathered sports organizations and their stakeholders around a new movement for climate action. As a result, the Sports for Climate Action Framework was launched in 2018. This framework aims to strengthen the sustainability of the sports industry while leveraging the widespread interest around sport activities to engage the public on climate change. The sports industry plays a role in emitting greenhouse gases that cause global warming. On the other hand, sports is not immune to the impacts of climate change. Athletes, sports infrastructure, logistics and events and communities engaging in sporting activities are all witnessing the result of rising global temperatures.
This is why UN Climate Change and UNITAR as the secretariat to the One UN Climate Change Learning Partnership (UN CC:Learn), joined forces with UN Climate Change and Adidas to develop this pilot training programme for grassroots and sports organizations to promote global resilience and solidarity in climate action, through the power of sports.
