A recent newsletter explored the idea that athlete investors – those backing climate tech and renewables – might ultimately hold more sway in the sustainability space than athlete advocates.
But this follow-up podcast conversation with US rower Christine Cavallo serves as a powerful reminder that influence comes in many forms. Even without financial investment, athletes who are knowledgeable and committed can play a crucial role in the climate transition.
Christine brings a unique perspective, having experienced sustainability through the lenses of elite sport, academia, public policy and now the private sector in her role at the UN Global Compact.
She argues that business holds the key to meaningful progress on climate and environmental justice – and that sport could be a powerful testing ground for scaling new technologies, if it chooses to embrace that role. The episode is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking listen.
