Olympians Eliza McCartney (NZL),Samuel Mattis - Oly (USA), Ajla Del Ponte (SUI), Rhydian Cowley OLY (AUS) and Elena Vallortigara (ITA) share personal experiences of how climate change has impacted their performance and training, explain what it means to champion for a better world and suggest ways that sport can contribute solutions to the climate crisis. The athletes are part of ‘Champions for a Better World’, a group established by World Athletics in 2022 who are lending their voices to sustainability campaigning within the sport and encouraging their fellow athletes to collectively raise awareness about the threats posed by climate change. The video was produced to coincide with ‘Sports for Climate Action: Playing to Win Against Climate Change’, a two-hour panel session held today (18) at #COP29 that brought together ministers, athletes and sustainability practitioners from around the world to discuss actions and strategies to help sport address the climate crisis. And to ensure that the sport of athletics was on the COP29 agenda. Mattis and two-time Olympic champion David Rudisha participated on an athlete panel while Kipchumba Murkomen, the Cabinet Secretary for the Kenyan Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, also took part to highlight some of the ways that Athletics Kenya has involved the athletics community and their stakeholders to identify and scale climate solutions through their events.
