The Role of Sports in Climate Change

The magnitude of climate change is arguably best depicted in the fact that most, if not all, aspects of life are altered by it. The sport industry, one of the most popular forms of entertainment across the entire world, is no different. In the recent past, a surge in extreme weather conditions has already caused problems in holding sporting events. With the sport industry significantly contributing to global warming, it also has a large potential to be a part of the solution. However, its positive contribution has still not been maximised. We take a look at organisations that have found a way for sports to join the fight against climate change and continue to pave the way for others to follow.
