Paragraph 2
Rapid Transition Alliance
Andrew Simms urged the sports
to do more to become carbon-neutral. He said: "Sport provides some of society's most
role models. If sport can change how it operates to act at the speed and
necessary to halt the climate
, others will follow." He added that the carbon emissions from sports events
are equal to those produced by a medium-sized country. The report's author, David Goldblatt, said sport should be more
. He said: "Making a carbon-zero world the common-sense
of the sports world would make a
contribution to making it the common-sense priority of all
."
