The business of sport in a changing climate
Momentum Stage
Sport is one of the world's fastest-growing industries, and one of the most exposed to climate risk. Extreme heat is cancelling matches and threatening athlete health. Volatile weather is disrupting schedules, emptying stands, and repricing insurance. The financial exposure runs across multiple stakeholders and it is growing. Climate adaptation is not a cost centre but a strategic investment. The organisations that build heat action plans, resilient infrastructure, and climate-informed operations into their business now will be the ones still playing in 2050.
