At Athletes of the World our mission is to harness the power of athletes to inspire climate action. Founded by Double Olympic Champion sailor Hannah Mills and GB rower Melissa Wilson in 2021, we work with athletes and sports organisations to provide climate and media training, mentoring, and campaign delivery, equipping athletes to use their platforms for change. Recent work has included supporting 135 professional footballers in urging FIFA to drop fossil fuel sponsorship and bringing together 450 Olympians in a letter calling on the IOC’s incoming President to make caring for our planet their top priority.
