The final category-specific Chapter for 2026 lands with a focus on sport – an industry striving to push the boundaries of possibility with more and more energy focused towards making it future-fit.
Sport has the power the shape behaviour far beyond the pitch, track or stadium – and its sustainability leaders are proving that climate action can be both urgent and inspirational.
Sport as a category, encompasses so much, from grassroots to professional, across fans and athletes themselves, and the myriad brands, associations and organisations that enable it.
Perhaps the most visible of all and they way many people interact with sport is through the events, sporting bodies and professional teams: following their favourite team or club, attending matches or games, visiting stadiums. And it is these sporting bodies that have the most profound influence – over their fans and followers – and can wield it to exert positive change that transcends the sports world into every day culture.
On the other side, they are also at an especial risk as climate change begins its disruptive influence.
