Extreme weather, the energy crisis and wider climate change are increasingly likely to impact participation levels, inequalities and when, and where, activity takes place.
Equally, the sport and physical activity sector has a significant environmental impact that reinforces these effects.
We have considerable scope, opportunity and obligation to create positive change – and have made a first step towards this by holding a consultation, the findings of which are now published.
This forms part of our Uniting the Movement commitment to tackle climate change by influencing how people live and travel, by connecting this agenda with local priorities around health and active environments, and through the sustainable planning and design of the nation’s sport and leisure facilities.
