The Delhi Declaration on Environmental Sustainability in Indian Sport

As representatives of India’s sports ecosystem, including athletes, national federations,

leagues, clubs, government bodies, sponsors, and broadcasters,

We Acknowledge that the climate crisis presents an existential threat to the future of sport, jeopardizing athlete health, disrupting events, and damaging infrastructure through extreme heat, air pollution, water scarcity, and unpredictable weather.

Recognise the unique power of sport to inspire billions of citizens across India, transcending barriers of language, culture, and region, and therefore possess a profound responsibility to lead by example in the national effort towards environmental sustainability. Believe that a collective, coordinated response across the entire Indian sporting landscape is necessary and urgent. Adopt this Charter and jointly declare our commitment to integrate environmental sustainability into the core of Indian sport.
