Sport is an excellent way of creating cohesion and emulation, and a formidable emotion generator. Some people challenge themselves, emancipate themselves and shine thanks to sport. There’s no shortage of superlatives. Sport has become central to modern society, but, against a backdrop of climate crisis, the collapse of biodiversity and the questioning of models,Ā we asked ourselves what place sport had, and what place it should take.
We don’t want to choose between sport and the environmental transition, but create a future that allows both to happen.
Created in 2022, and infused with the full ChangeNOW DNA, this program aims to inspire, spotlight solutions and innovations that address the sport industry’s key challenges and connect.
A half-day dedicated to professional athletes to share the keys to understanding todayās challenges (climate, biodiversity, inclusion, democracy, etc.), introduce them to inspiring leaders of change, and raise their awareness of their role as ambassadors through their community and visibility.
Our editorial program gathers sports leaders, innovators, and change experts. Through conferences, workshops, and pitches, we cross perspectives, share lessons learned, and address the concepts of adaptation and projection to encourage everyone to actively transform the sector.
The mountains, true sentinels of climate change, are on the brink of rapid and major transformations. It is crucial to design new models to protect these natural environments while enabling them to coexist sustainably with human activities. What are these innovative models? What role can sport and tourism play? Can they be transposed to other areas?
A collective action that provides a virtuous framework for the future of sport sponsorship: financing the transition of sport via impact sponsorship, directing capital towards committed players, and adopting measurement, reduction, and certification as pillars of value in the sponsor-sponsored relationship.
Empowering Change Through Sport
Major sporting events often leave a significant carbon footprint due to stadium construction, fan transportation, and material usage. However, both inside and beyond arenas, sports organizations and athletes wield a powerful voice to address climate change issues and influence society’s most pressing concerns.
