practices in sport.

Basketball, Rowing, Skiing, and Winter Sports, alongside the latest global
recommendations on climate change and HSE (health, safety, and environment)
standards. Representatives from relevant federations and the NOC Sport and

knowledge-sharing on practical implementation of sustainability in sports.
