About
In Spring 2022 ahead of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, a group of international hockey players came together with an aim to grow an athlete voice in hockey that can advocate for climate solutions across the sport.
Their group, Hockey for Climate, wants to use hockey's influence across the world to make positive change for the planet. This supports the FIH's Hockey2024 strategy goal that "Hockey is a force for good in the world, as an advocate and contributor to the UN Sustainable Development Goals."
What's next
Over the next six months, Hockey for Climate will be developing a strategy aiming to make maximum climate impact in and through our sport.
To make that difference, we want as many players as possible to join and feed their ideas into the strategy development.

Favourite quote: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
