Climate change is impacting our players and communities who already experience consequences of extreme temperatures, storms, floods, droughts, air pollution and sea level rise.
A true fabric of our game, the Pacific islands are among the most vulnerable communities on earth to the impacts of climate change.
Aligned with our core values of solidarity and respect, we must take strong action and play our part in addressing the climate crisis.
