Launching Summer 2021.
Thank you to all our fabulous Alliance presenters in the 'Too hot for sport?' webinar for a practical and visionary discussion about the potential for mass #ClimateEmergency mobilisation in sport (recording to come @ https://t.co/XWQrCKNb9u )
From 'brutal humidity' to heat & violent storms, extreme weather is causing havoc at the #Olympics, & the IOC & Tokyo organisers made athletes sign contracts absolving themselves of responsibility for harm. Next week 👉sport meets the #ClimateEmergency

Day 1 of #Olympics and already an athlete has collapsed due to the heat, reports @guardian_sport... a Russian archer. Luckily she has recovered... #climate charged heat & humidity in Japan was always gonna be a risk
As you sit down to watch the #Olympic action, watch out for athletes raising a hand to make a stand for climate action - @mhcwilson introduces @oly_earth@TeamGB as sport starts to talk about the need for #RapidTransition

The @Olympics is about to begin, and already we've seen much coverage of the extreme heat that athletes will face, but few outlets are using this opp. to talk about #climatechange
A reminder of 'Rings of Fire' report that can help w/this:

At Dorney Lake, @GregSearle2012 told us what he’s seen re impact on rowing (heat exhaustion for athletes, flooding of rivers, etc.) and @mhcwilson explained the @oly_earth symbol @TeamGB will be doing to signify the green legacy they want to leave.

The @Olympics and @Paralympics are huge forces for good.
But, like much of life, there‘s an environmental cost.
OLY Earth+ is setting out to change that, so that @TeamGB’s participation in Tokyo is ambitious and inspiring on an environmental level, as well as an athletic one.
