Course intro · 90 seconds
A short animated walkthrough of what your team will learn, who teaches it, and why it’s pitched at owners and directors who actually have to sign the strategy off.
Hit play and the course intro tells you the rest in less time than it takes to make a coffee.
01 / Why this course
From cancelled fixtures to flooded grounds, climate impacts are now showing up on the sports calendar itself. At the same time, governing bodies, sponsors and broadcasters are scoring sport organisations on credible action.
Industry analysis like Green.org’s review of the Paris 2024 Olympics and the future of green sport shows what credible action looks like at the highest level. The UK’s Sport England Environmental Sustainability Strategy sets out funded expectations for clubs and facilities the rest of the system is now aligning to.
This course gives sport teams practical climate fluency, venue and event-level reduction levers and credible fan-engagement tools.
