FrontRunners has teamed up with legal experts from the Environmental Defenders Office to take a closer look at the risks that climate change poses to sports. This analysis is the most comprehensive study of Sport, Climate Change, and Legal Liability in Australia to date.
You can use the tool below to see how your sport stacks up when it comes to their climate policies, with rankings determined by seven key factors.
Please note that we have condensed the key categories from the report, to make this tool more user-friendly.
Missed Pre Season: These sports lack sufficient climate policies, and need to step up in their sustainability efforts (0 to 3 points out of 7)
Mid Pack: These sports are making progress with sustainability practices and policies, but have room for improvement (4 to 6 points out of 7)
Premiership Contenders: These sports are kicking goals with their climate policies & practices, and are leading by example (7 points out of 7)

The report is a direct response to mounting pressure on sporting organisations from commercial partners, fans, athletes and mandatory disclosure requirements to take more action amid an escalating climate crisis. This is a must-read for anyone involved in sports administration and a call to arms for the industry to protect the future of the games we love.
