Olympic athletes call on incoming IOC president to prioritise climate change - The call to action follows the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, which will host the 2028 Olympic Games.

Outgoing IOC President Thomas Bach had plenty of praise for Utah; blamed a push to change the IOC policy on transgender athlete participation on a Russian "fake news campaign."

The signatories to an open letter calling for IOC action on climate change range from Australia's most decorated Olympian, swimmer Emma McKeon, to Cyrille Tchatchet II, a weightlifter who represented the refugee team at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

More than 400 athletes, including more than 20 Canadians, speak up about threat of climate change to both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games.

More than 350 Olympians, including 57 Olympic champions, call on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to prioritize environmental sustainability. They emphasize climate change's immediate impact on sports and urge the IOC to reduce carbon emissions and promote green initiatives in Host Cities.
