We hope these efforts inspire others – in sport and beyond – to join the collective effort to address one of the toughest challenges our world is facing today.”

The awards reward innovative projects from National Olympic Committees (NOCs), International Federations (IFs) and athletes that are aimed at reducing the environmental impact of sport while inspiring the wider Olympic Movement to take action.

In addition to the four winners, the Mauritius NOC and the International Biathlon Union (IBU) have been recognised in the “Highly Commended” category for the innovative nature of their efforts to reduce emissions.
