About

The Sports for Nature Framework sits at the core of the Sports for Nature Initiative. It was created to tap into sports’ enormous potential to take on ambitious goals and drive positive change for nature.

The Framework provides sports organisations with a clear gameplan and guidance inviting them to work towards four principles and linked goals that will help them advance in their nature journey.

Principles

1

Protect nature and avoid damage to natural habitats and species

Our organisation is committed to protecting and avoiding damage to natural habitats and species, including respecting protected areas.

2

Restore and regenerate nature wherever possible

Our organisation takes positive action to restore and regenerate nature in and around the indoor and outdoor environments where we operate.

3

Understand and reduce risks to nature in your supply chains

Our organisation will reduce risks to nature and enable opportunities to conserve and restore nature in our supply chains, linking wherever possible to climate goals.

4

Educate and inspire positive action for nature across and beyond sport

Our organisation will educate and inspire greater awareness and action for nature within our sport and our wider communities and stakeholders.
