Our world is currently wrestling with three distinct, yet interconnected, crises.
The first is a political crisis. This exists both internationally with the war in Ukraine but also nationally with the rise of populism and polarisation in domestic politics. This unstable political environment is helping fuel a second crisis – the cost of living crisis, which is affecting almost all European countries. The short-term distractions of these crises means we are deprioritising the third and most threatening problem – the climate crisis.
You might question what sport has to do with such serious topics as these, but this report shows you how sport is not just intertwined with all of these crises but is influencing them for better and worse.
