³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

One of the things we love most about sport is how it can use its power for positive effect.

As part of our commitment to a greener future, we have once again partnered with Sport Positive Summit for the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Green Sport Awards.

They celebrate individuals and organisations from across the globe who are actively contributing to a more sustainable future through their sporting profile and practises.

Find out more about the categories below, and learn about the nominees here.

This is for a professional domestic sportsperson who has advocated for, raised awareness of, or instigated action on environmental and/or climate change issues in the past 12 months.

This is for a professional international sportsperson who has advocated for, raised awareness of, or instigated action on environmental and/or climate change issues in the past 12 months.

This is for any amateur or non-professional sporting body that is involved in the organisation of sport at a community level (such as local clubs, teams, groups, associations, national or regional governing organisations and charities) as well as other not for profit/community organisations that proactively demonstrated support for environmental and climate change issues in the past 12 months through sport.

Recommendations of sportspeople and sports organisations demonstrating significant environmental consciousness and/or actions in the past 12 months were provided by experts inside and outside the UK. A list combining these names was provided to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Green Sport Awards production team and was then discussed by a shortlisting panel. A panel of independent experts in climate and environment issues from inside and outside the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ then judged the winner of each category. Our judges this year were:

Claire Poole - founder and CEO of Sport Positive Summit

Alex Kay-Jelski - director, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sport

Qasa Alom - presenter of Green Sport Awards and The Climate Question

Lindita Xhaferi-Salihu - United Nations sport for climate action lead
