UK SPORT chief executive Sally Munday insists that ambitious new sustainability targets set by her organisation are necessary to mitigate climate change, which she believes “threatens the existence of high-performance sport itself.”

To achieve these ambitions, the agency has pledged to work with national governing bodies (NGBs) over the two-year period covered by the new strategy to identify each sport’s unique challenges, with an objective for every NGB to have a sustainability action plan in place by 2025.
