Sports organisations can display climate leadership by engaging together in the net-zero journey. They can achieve this by taking responsibility for their climate footprint and by becoming a powerful unifying tool to drive climate awareness and action among global citizens.
Uniting behind a set of principles, sports organisations and their communities have chosen the path of collaboration: UNFCCC’s Sports for Climate Action.
On the 5th anniversary of Sports for Climate Action, global athletes have a message for you. Hear them out by watching the video.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (198 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.
