Marie Sallois, the IOC’s Director of Corporate and Sustainable Development said: “The IOC Climate Action Awards return in 2025 — not just to honour bold ideas, but to ignite a movement. These awards are a call to action for those redefining what’s possible in sport and sustainability. We invite athletes, International Sports Federations and National Olympic Committees from across the world to share their efforts to address climate change and accelerate the sustainable transformation of sport.”

The 2025 edition of the IOC Climate Action Awards is supported by Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner Deloitte, which is contributing its expertise to help shape the programme’s criteria and prize offerings.
