The International Olympic Committee has named the winners of its annual Climate Action Awards, which honor national Olympic committees, international federations, and athletes for their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of sport.
Among the winners: The International Hockey Federation, which has reduced water usage by an estimated 60% since 2012 through the development of innovative "Dry Turf" technology, which reduces the amount of water needed for elite hockey pitches.
"We are extremely honored and grateful to receive this very high distinction from the International Olympic Committee for the efforts to reduce the impact on the environment generated by the practice of our sport," says the president of the FIH.
The Mauritius National Olympic Committee has developed a comprehensive carbon footprint reduction plan focusing on travel and procurement, achieving a 40% reduction in 2023 from its 2022 baseline.
Olympic beach volleyball player Lina Taylor is helping to accelerate climate action through science-based climate education, professional coaching, and collaboration with professionals from government, corporations, and NGOs, per the IOC.
"This year's winners of the IOC Climate Action Awards show that the Olympic Movement is taking its responsibilities seriously: reducing our impact, while inspiring others to take action," says IOC President Thomas Bach.
