Sport holds immense cultural power, but also carries a significant environmental footprint and deep-rooted resistance to change. From international travel and infrastructure demands to sponsorship deals and consumption-driven fan culture, the sector faces challenges in becoming truly sustainable. This panel brings together leading voices working at the intersection of sport and climate action. Together, they’ll explore what sustainability leadership looks like in a sector where tradition, profit, and performance often clash with environmental goals. How can sport not only reduce its impact but become a platform for systemic change?
