UK SPORT chief executive Sally Munday insists that ambitious new sustainability targets set by her organisation are necessary to mitigate climate change, which she believes “threatens the existence of high-performance sport itself.”
The government agency, which is responsible for high-performance sport in Britain, has outlined plans for both British Olympic and Paralympic sport and major events to have a net positive impact on the environment by 2040 as part of its Team of Tomorrow strategy.
To achieve these ambitions, the agency has pledged to work with national governing bodies (NGBs) over the two-year period covered by the new strategy to identify each sport’s unique challenges, with an objective for every NGB to have a sustainability action plan in place by 2025.
