Sport England launches new strategy to deal with climate change

LONDON (Reuters) - Every major sporting body in England must have robust sustainability plans in place before 2027 or face funding cuts, Sport England said on Thursday as part of a 45 million pounds ($56.98 million) investment to help deal with climate change.

"It's time we moved from informing and encouraging to enabling and requiring, and ensure our language leaves no room for the status quo," Sport England chair Chris Boardman said on the launch of Every Move, its first Sustainability Strategy.
