Sports world must join climate change crusade, says IOCThe world of sports must join the effort to tame global warming, and the International Olympic Committee intends to lead the way, it said on Tuesday at UN climate talks in Katowice, Poland. “Addressing climate change is everyone’s responsibility, and the IOC treats it very seriously,” said IOC President Thomas Bach. “With its global reach, universal appeal and the power to inspire and influence millions of people around the globe, sport is uniquely placed to drive global climate action and encourage crowds to join in,” Prince Albert said at the event.
