Explore how the impacts of climate change and the ability to adapt, vary across different audiences (including under-represented groups and those with higher health risks), places, sports and activities.
Background
Sport England seeks to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity, providing opportunities to people and communities that have traditionally been left behind, and helping to remove the barriers to activity.
Understanding how people think, feel, experience, and behave towards sport and physical activity is fundamental in shaping inclusive, equitable policies and practices. We need greater evidence on what works so we know how best to do this.
The question above relates to the following Sport England Area of Research Interest: ARI 8. Understanding the impacts of a changing climate on people, places, and sport and physical activity.
