Sportsworld - Sport on the frontline in the battle against climate change
Download Sport on the frontline in the battle against climate change
We saw leaders from around the world meet at the Cop 26 summit in Glasgow, as urgent collective action is needed to bring climate change under control.
The world is warming because of emissions from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. We are experiencing extreme weather events linked to climate change - including heatwaves, floods and forest fires - which are intensifying. The past decade was the warmest on record.
It's becoming increasingly apparent that the climate crisis touches everything including sport and that time is running out.
We hear from the US Nordic skier Annika Landis, New Zealand international footballer Katie Rood and the former France Rugby international Julien Pierre.
