Green Sports Alliance
July 15, 2020
The Green Sports Alliance hosted a conversation centered around the role of sports in advancing progress on environmental and social justice.
Sports are a catalyst and platform for change. How can we leverage the power of sports to accelerate material progress on environmental and social justice issues as we support the Black Lives Matter movement and the Sport for Climate Action Framework? How can we combat institutional racism alongside climate change? In this discussion we will dive into examples of how teams, leagues, brands and athletes are making their voices heard and backing them up with meaningful action.
