01. Introduction
Fields Of Change: A Sustainability Handbook
Around the world, the impacts of climate change are already affecting the places we play - freezing and flooding pitches, melting snow, and overheating athletes and spectators. The everyday lives of some of the most vulnerable communities on the planet are being impacted by increased droughts, floods, and storms, with consequences for access to sport, which is a vital community resource for millions across the planet. But through community, belief and teamwork, and through the implementation of relevant local solutions, sport has a unique potential to inspire positive change towards a more sustainable future for people and planet. This handbook is designed to be a knowledge-sharing resource. It collates the content of the learning sessions delivered through the Move for the Planet syllabus and provides insights into the organisations who were part of the first global activation of Move for the Planet. The handbook aims to inspire Sport For Good organisations around the world to engage with environmental sustainability, through their projects and their communities.
Sport For Good has never had a bigger role to play.
