As the #Paris2024 #Paralympics come to a close, we reflect not only on the remarkable performances we’ve witnessed but also on the urgent need for sports organizations to leverage their platforms to address the triple planetary crisis. During our #Sports4Nature ”Stronger Together” event this summer, Adam von Koeverden, #Olympic kayaker and Parliamentary Secretary to Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change, shared an important insight: "I believe in sports' ability to change hearts and minds. Research shows that when athletes speak out, people listen more than to politicians, experts, or academics. Sports organizations must recognize this and use their platforms to inspire meaningful action." Adam highlighted the growing recognition that events of this scale don’t have to come at the cost of the planet: "Through your actions, we are recognizing that the climate and environmental impact of a big Games like this doesn’t have to be as bad as we once thought—that’s really moving the needle."
