A sunny morning & some glorious colour at @SeneschalstownG GAA. Proof that sports clubs - from grassroots upwards - can play a vital role in promoting biodiversity. Great to see 🐝🌺🌼🦋🐞 #sustainability #sport #GAA #biodiversity #ireland

Fantastic to welcome Russell Seymour as a keynote for ‘Project Long Game’ later this month. If you’re involved with sport in Meath, Russell’s message around sport & sustainability is a must listen - positive & opportunity driven. 🔗 See projectlongame.ie

We're delighted that Dr Russell Seymour, CEO @BASIS_org, will be a keynote speaker at the launch of 'Project Long Game' (Saturday, January 28th at @solsticearts in Navan, Co Meath).

Superb social & environmental intent in @SportIreCampus’ masterplan. Now could the campus join @Munsterrugby, @AVIVAStadium & @TeamIreland in committing to the #racetozero targets & net-zero by 2040? The significance & scale of this development deserves a leading position.
Sustainability sits at the heart of @SportIreCampus’ impressive vision and masterplan. We take a look at the key social & environmental goals over the next 15-20 years - impact3zero.com/sport-irelan…. #Sustainability #sport #ireland #climateaction

I'm reading this as a 'no' to getting together over a beer and discussing our 'deeply flawed' research, #CTE and #concussion @mattRCNM Shame
Wow. Thanks for highlighting. Line of #CTE reasoning from @MattRCNM that sounds eerily similar to victim blaming coming from leftfield 'experts' favoured by sport. Hey Matt I'm in Dublin this weekend and heading @leinsterrugby v @GlasgowWarriors. Happy to educate over beer

Tremendous to see this. Sport Ireland’s vision of a sustainable campus - social, economic & environmental - is one that can be mirrored by Irish NGB’s and grassroots clubs 🤝💶🌍 👇

The development of the Campus will play a key role in maximising the social and economic benefits of sport while sustainably protecting and enhancing our natural environment. Read more on the Sport Ireland Campus Masterplan here: sportireland.ie/sport-irelan…

When sport continues to call 'evidence is inconclusive' or 'science is in its infancy' or 'we need longitudinal studies' etc on #concussion/ head impacts and #CTE/ #dementia we shouldn't be too surprised if injured players are still being left on the field.

One of those days that grief slaps you in the face. Had to attend A&E with youngest daughter and whilst waiting a young lad came in called Benjamin suffering from #Concussion Can’t help thinking what if our Ben had been removed and sent to A&E Please don’t perform HIAs on kids.

Congratulations to all involved with yesterday’s @BASIS_org 2022 awards at @ChelseaFC. Sport’s action on sustainability is accelerating - with more clubs/organisations getting started. Time for Irish & Scottish sport to get moving too @davidgilroyBVT @davidferg #skysports

Should fossil fuel companies be prevented from sponsoring sport? What do you think?
It's been an interesting month for sport and fossil fuel sponsorship - impact3zero.com/sport-fossil…. Supporters, members and athletes have been voicing their disapproval against a host of existing and new partnerships. #sport #sustainability #climateaction #FossilFuels

Good example for any sports organisation wondering how to start their sustainability journey👇
The @irishfa is committed to sustainability. Windsor Park's renewable energy transformation and other key environmental & social objectives are goals for the organisation, its communities and fans. impact3zero.com/northern-iri… #sport #sustainability #football #renewables

Smart collective approach from @BristolCity, @BristolBears & @BristolFlyers 👏👏👇
Three of Bristol's major sports clubs have joined forces around climate action & sustainability - lnkd.in/ekQ3-vGY. With Bristol City, Bristol Bears & Bristol Flyers all committed, this shows how sport can drive meaningful action and impact. #sport #sustainability

@Georgiekelly161, Rotherham United and UCD environmental masters student is blazing a trail on and off the pitch. We look at last week’s remarkable feature in the @IrishTimes. Georgie’s comments on the climate crisis are especially significant 👇 impact3zero.com/georgie-kell…
