British Olympic rower Imogen Grant, Bulgarian beach volleyball player Lina Taylor, Swiss Olympic and the International Hockey Federation (FIH) have been named the winners of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Climate Action Awards 2024. The four winners were selected from amongst the 15 finalists announced during the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The IOC Climate Action Awards are given to National Olympic Committees, International Federations and athletes in recognition of their efforts to help address climate change and make the sports world more sustainable.
The IOC Climate Action Awards are supported by Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic partner Deloitte. The announcement of this year’s winners was made by the IOC and Deloitte during Climate Week NYC, an annual charity event in New York City that brings together business leaders, decision-makers and civil society to promote climate action.
In addition to the four winners, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) and the Mauritius National Olympic Committee have been recognized in the Highly Commended category “for the innovative nature of their efforts to reduce emissions,” said the IOC.
