We know climate change is already impacting sport: from extreme heat to bushfire smoke, drought and flooding, it's striking at the heart of the games we love.
But with millions of passionate fans and followers, athletes, clubs, leagues and tournaments have the power to change the game.
FrontRunners helps sport go from sideline to centre court on climate action.
We’ve seen outrageous temperatures at the Australian Open force early retirements. Bushfire smoke has led to the cancellation and relocation of matches and training.
Insurance premiums rose dramatically for local clubs in the expanding fire and flood-prone parts of the country. And the last decade of prolonged droughts followed by flooding has led to games and entire seasons being cancelled.
Sport's future is more uncertain than ever, but its power has never been more important
Right now, the government is deciding our 2035 emissions reduction target.
The science is clear. For Australia to do its fair share, we need a target of at least a 75% reduction (from our 2005 baseline).
Over 75 athletes have signed an open letter calling on the government to aim higher and achieve our fair share.
"Sport has the power to overcome old divisions and create the bond of common aspirations"

We do the heavy lifting to understand how sport is threatened by climate and environmental crises. We share that knowledge with industry to mobilise them to adapt and respond to the challenges we're facing.
Building on that knowledge, we deliver bespoke solutions for athletes, player associations, and sporting organisations.
