💨 Abstract

Over 400 Olympians from nearly 90 countries have called on the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) new president to prioritize climate change. The athletes highlighted the impact of rising temperatures, extreme weather, and climate change on Olympic competitions and athlete health. They asked the IOC to strengthen its commitment to reducing carbon emissions, advocate for broader environmental action, champion sustainable practices in host cities, and set standards for sponsorship deals with polluting companies.
