More than 400 Olympians from nearly 90 countries around the world have joined in a call for the winner of next week's International Olympic Committee presidential election to make climate their top priority.

The article from Reuters discusses how Olympians, including former Olympic champions, have urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) presidential candidates to prioritize climate change in their agendas. This plea comes ahead of the IOC's presidential election in 2025. The athletes, supported by the IOC Athletes' Commission, emphasized the need for the Olympic movement to address environmental sustainability, particularly in light of the increasing frequency of extreme weather events affecting sports. They highlighted the importance of reducing the carbon footprint of the Games, promoting sustainable practices, and ensuring that future Olympic hosts are chosen with environmental considerations in mind. The athletes' call to action reflects a broader push within the sports community for greater environmental responsibility.
