In its recently released sustainability strategy, UK Sport committed to ensuring that environmental considerations form part of funding decisions and the way the organisation assesses and invests in major events. It also launched its first-ever event social impact partners programme to leverage the potential of major events to generate lasting positive change. It has committed to adding a sustainability-specific partner in 2026 and to providing partners with practical support and shared learning, including toolkits to measure environmental impact, and peer learning networks across sport. Similarly, Sport England’s Every Move strategy commits to helping the sector reduce its environmental impact and adapt to the impacts of climate change. As such, I hope my noble friend can see why these amendments are not required when climate resilience and environmental sustainability are already being seriously considered by both UK Sport and Sport England.
