Sports have a huge personal and cultural impact for people all around the world, bringing communities together and offering unique social experiences. They also have a sizeable impact on the environment. So how do we balance the personal fulfilment and social connection that sports provide with the need for a healthy planet? Claire Poole from Sport Positive joins to discuss this tension, and how the industry is working to reduce its carbon footprint. She also shares examples for how the changing climate is affecting sports, and how the industry is adapting to this new reality. Resources discussed in this episode:
