Climate change is having a significant impact on the sports world. Athletes are calling on governments to take action on this issue.

Ahead of COP30 in Brazil, 40 elite athletes have come together to call for increased measures against the climate crisis. These athletes, known as 'Adapt2Win', highlight the effects of climate change on sports.

Brazilian footballer Tamires Dias stated that climate change presents an unpredictable challenge for athletes, complicating their ability to adapt.

Raheem Sterling described the impact of climate change in the Caribbean as a personal issue, expressing his efforts to make a difference.

Nigerian footballer Kenneth Omeruo mentioned that climate change has altered everything in his country, affecting even football fields.

Ana Toni, CEO of the COP30 summit, supported the athletes' call, emphasizing that every sector must combat climate change.

The sports sector reportedly lost $417 billion due to climate change in 2024, yet less than 10% of global climate financing is used for preventive measures.
