Our SEA family
We work together
Born in 2015, our family of members, ambassadors, and partners are multiplying to represent Australia and New Zealand in the global conversation.
We share eco-stories, the latest opportunities to engage in the circular economy, and host a number of events to connect with national and international peers, community, commercial and other expert thought leaders.
Extending the knowledge and networks of our family, and improving their level of impact and influence are integral to protecting our clean future.
Our voice
We advocate
SEA has contributed to a number of research and advocacy reports such as the Climate Council’s Climate Change and Sport Report and the Climate Council’s Game, Set, Match report.
We attend global alliance meetings, presenting at forums where sport can and should be expressing our deep concern about the health of our natural environment. At those events, we share our vision positioning sport as a serious and active leader in protecting the places where we play.
SEA presented at COP21 and co- chaired the 2018 Sustainable Innovations in Sport forum (Amsterdam), and we support the UNFCCC Sport for Climate Action framework.
And of course, we hold our very own #SEASummit each year, where those who love sport and those who equally love our natural environment, gather to share their global stories of how they care for the places where we play.

OUR TEAM
GET INVOLVED
So you want to make a #SEAChange? We are a growing community of change makers and we want you to be part of it.
At the Sports Environment Alliance, we believe that the sport industry needs to move the natural environment up the agenda. We need to protect the places and spaces where we play sport, and thankfully, our Alliance members take positive action and make it loud and clear that our industry’s ‘stage’ will be the megaphone from which we share the importance of our natural environment.
SEA is the platform from which we provide the resources, knowledge and the networks to support active industry and community engagement in this global movement.
We understand that you want to do the right thing, to do your part, and to participate in doing more {for the world} with less {footprint}. We can do this together, and we are happy to welcome you to the family, whether you’re small or large, or are making one or ten steps at a time towards a better future.
Why join the #SEAChange?
If you believe in a healthy, clean Australasia and think that everyone can do their part in protecting the places and spaces where we play, you are a #SEAChanger at heart.
Our Alliance members represent those who inspire and influence, as well as the impact makers on the ground, local community clubs who care about where their canteen rubbish goes, city councils who manage and encourage healthy public spaces, and national sport associations who believe that all of their states, clubs and facilities should be better equipped to dealing with the changes in their natural environment.
