Scaling Impact through Sport with Claire Poole, Founder of Sport Positive

Claire Poole is at the center of the sports and sustainability movement.

Claire is the CEO and Founder of Sport Positive, supporting the global sports industry to increase their action and ambition on climate change through direct support, community, communications, the annual Sport Positive Summit and Sport Positive Leagues. As a consultant to the UNFCCC Claire supported the inception of what is now UN Sports for Climate Action Framework.

She is on the Advisory board for Eco Athletes and the Sport Ecology Group, as well as other organizations.

In our conversation, we dive into her work building the Sport Positive Summit into the leading global meeting place for sustainability, sport, and sports business, how she created the first Sustainability Table in the English Premier League, and the role of collaboration in her work. We also discuss how athletes can overcome common barriers to advocating for social and environmental issues they care about.
