As part of the Sport Positive Summit, Dave Powell and Amiera Sawas will be running the workshop: Climate Comms for Sport - Building Trust and How Not To Be Called A Hypocrite

Sport has massive geographical and cultural reach, as well as the power to catalyse and shift people’s concerns about climate into actions that make sense in their lives.

Many sports organisations want to carve out more space for talking about climate action with fans, partners and the media – but it’s difficult. What’s is sport's role in engaging the public on climate change? What’s a good story and which actors should be telling it? What will resonate with fans? How can you avoid the organisation being called out for hypocrisy?

Whether you are responsible for content and comms, or sustainability and social impact within a sports organisation – if these thoughts are running through your mind, this workshop is for you.

Who's pushing the boat out? And what are the barriers? Join this interactive workshop as we explore all of these questions and explore the role of your businesses on influencing the public.
