Sport as a tool for change: In conversation with AFLW player Nicola Barr
Climate change isn't just a global crisis—it's quickly becoming a game-changer in the world of sport. In recent years, athletes across the globe have faced conditions that were once unthinkable, from heatwaves to snowstorms and everything in between.
Here in Australia, it's a stark reality. We've seen the AFL, cricket and A-League matches postponed as temperatures soar to dangerous levels, while players from all codes are left to battle the extreme weather patterns that seem to be intensifying year by year.
But it's not just about disrupted schedules. It's about the athletes themselves, who are now fighting for more than just a win on the field—they're fighting for their future.
Here in Australia, one athlete is leading the charge to bring the issue of climate change to the forefront of sport. AFLW star Nicola Barr has emerged as a powerful advocate for environmental sustainability. Nicola has used her platform to highlight the urgent need for action, pushing for change not just within AFL but across all sports.
Nicola's work has changed the way many Australians view the intersection of sport and climate change. It's no longer just a distant problem—it's a pressing issue that's affecting the games we love.'
This is an important conversation not to be missed.
