The Climate of Sport
The Climate of Sport is your weekly fast-take on the biggest stories in sport, through the lens of forces reshaping the game. From extreme weather to sustainability, and the business realities behind it, we break down what’s happening, what it means, and why it matters for sports organisations, athletes, leagues, sponsors, investors, fans and participants.
Sport is entering a new era. Climate impacts are already affecting how events are played, scheduled, and delivered, while sustainability is becoming central to governance, funding, and commercial strategy. For those working in the sport ecosystem, investors, and leaders, understanding these shifts isn’t optional, it’s essential. This podcast gives you the context behind the headlines and a front-row seat to the biggest changes shaping the future of sport.

Claire opens up this week's episode with a round-up of the Men's World Cup 2026. She covers what we learned over the course of the last five weeks - and big questions that remain.
Brent Suter, Los Angeles Angels pitcher, Harvard Environmental Science alumnus and 2025 Marvin Miller Man of the Year, then joins Claire for an earnest conversation on how climate change is already reshaping baseball. While building his career competing at the highest level, Brent gives insight into his own journey and the reality of being one of the few active professional athletes to openly advocate for climate action and environmental stewardship.
