I came across this interesting article by European Climate Pact on the causal relationship between climate change and sport. It talks about how sport is a big part of our culture - for healthy lifesytles, bringing people together, job creation and contribution to economic activity. 

However, it points out that its carbon footprint is huge. Now the extreme weather conditions and pollution caused by carbon emissions is affecting competitions and athletes' health and performance.

That being said, the article points out how sport has the potential to help combat climate change, not only by reducing its own carbon footprint but by also using its broad social platform to promote climate awareness and action among the millions of viewers and followers across the globe.

Here is the article link.
