Sport is competition, it’s community, intensity, joy, and inspiration. But all of this depends on a stable climate – and human-made climate change is breaking that stability down.
Heatwaves, floods, and air pollution increasingly affect pitches, facilities, events, and athlete health. Rising energy costs and disrupted supply chains add financial risks. Fans, funders, sponsors – and increasingly regulators – also expect action on climate.
This guide is designed to help every organisation – from small clubs to major venues – take their first steps in understanding and measuring
carbon emissions.
It’s not one-size-fits-all. Larger organisations may need a full carbon footprint, while smaller clubs can start with simple actions. Wherever you are, you can make a meaningful difference.
This guide covers;
- Understanding Climate Change
- What is a Carbon Footprint?
- Why Calculate Emissions?
- The Three Scopes
- How to Measure: Step by Step
- Practical Examples
- Taking Action Beyond Measurement and
- Resources and Next Steps
