FAQ Category: Climate Change & Sustainability

Climate change refers to long-term changes to the Earth’s climate, including shifts in weather patterns and temperatures. Today, these changes are mainly caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Climate change can lead to problems like more frequent extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss. These issues are often referred to as part of the climate crisis. This crisis has a big impact on our everyday lives. For example, more frequent and intense heatwaves, flooding, and storms can disrupt established routines, damage homes, and destroy key infrastructure, while crop failures and water shortages can lead to rising food prices.

Sustainability is the principle and practice of using resources responsibly, both locally and globally, to protect them and the environment for current and future generations. For example, in sports, this could involve making stadiums more energy efficient, reducing supply chain waste, and promoting eco-friendly travel options for fans and teams. Sustainability and sustainable practices are seen as key to addressing climate change and the climate crisis.
