Vision
Sport Local For Life is a vision of a clear-eyed and inspirational emergency response to the environmental crisis. It is the adoption of a leadership position that will both inspire and create positive change, embracing the responsibility that comes with sport’s huge reach and power to influence.
With Sport Local, there would be a move to re-localise sport with an emphasis on reconnecting with grassroots values of participation, wellbeing, community and joy. Simultaneously, the international sporting calendar would be refocused onto pinnacle events, minimising the impact of international competition schedules.
Sport Local would bring more sport to more people, increasing mental, physical and community health and at the same time demonstrating that tackling the climate and ecological emergency will bring many benefits. Sport Local is the embodiment of a desire for people today and in the future to enjoy sport and the many benefits it brings, as well as protecting all life on earth.
Visioning Sport LOCAL
What could Sport LOCAL look like where you live?
We have to first dream it, before we can achieve it.
This is an invitation to vision how 2030 could be if we did everything possible between now and then to address the multiple crises we face. This is fun. Allow yourself time to daydream, imagine how much better life could be, in fact, lets make it as exciting, delightful and irresistible as possible so that people want to make the positive changes happen..
