IFI signs up to United Nations Sports for Climate Action initiative Wednesday, 3 March 2021
The International Federation Icestocksport (IFI) has become a signatory of the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework.
The initiative calls on sporting organisations to acknowledge the contribution of the sports sector to climate change. IFI as International Federation is directly affected by the climate change as a winter sport often played on frozen lakes in classic Alp countries or North American territories, and the climate change negatively impacts the conditions of the ice here, IFI President Christian Lindner said.
After becoming a signatory, the IFI has committed to following the five principles of the framework.
