The Olympic Committees of Europe Approaching Carbon Neutrality (OCEAN Project) comprises of 18 National Olympic Committees across Europe, with ambitious pledges to reach carbon neutrality. Moving from pledges to action and reducing emissions can prove challenging, as it requires leadership buy-in and a cultural shift.

Climate Action Officers within NOCs often encounter resistance and isolation when championing sustainability initiatives, hindering progress towards carbon neutrality.

Through a tailored Leadership in Sustainability training program for the OCEAN Project, we equipped these officers with essential leadership skills and a comprehensive understanding of the business case for sustainability.

Building the community of Climate Action Officers and providing them with solution-focused professional coaches to address their specific challenges, we empowered the officers to navigate complexities and drive meaningful change toward a more sustainable future for European Olympic Committees.
