Sports for nature: setting a baseline handbook

Sport is both deeply dependent and connected to nature without a healthy planet, there is no playing field for sport. Sport is a highly visible sector with billions of participants and fans who consume its products and regularly engage with sports brands and media, its reach is unprecedented. The handbook investigates and highlights the urgency, dependency and impact of sport on nature, demonstrating the opportunities already underway with guidance and case studies to inspire and innovate. To set a baseline for nature conscious work in the sport sector, focus groups were conducted with 109 sport organisations from 30 different sports and 48 countries. The handbook shows how sport can move forward positively working together to adapt their games for a greener future.
