01
Awareness
Created to fill the gap by providing a free, global, and action-focused learning experience that connects young people to climate solutions through storytelling, sport, and community.
02
Focus
Real examples from ocean health, sport-based advocacy, and community-first solutions, rarely included in traditional climate education, especially for youth in underrepresented regions of the world.
03
Act
The purpose was to build real-world skills, foster cross-cultural collaboration, and equip young people to lead climate action in their own communities.
“Sport has the power to reach people in ways few other things can. Through this academy, our goal was to use sport as a platform for purpose. With Sustained Futures we reached young leaders from 20+ countries and helped them build real skills for climate impact.”
