Athlete Alliance
From cutting-edge explorers to Olympic medalists, our athlete ambassadors are our super power.
They push the boundaries of excellence in their sport and represent the best Europe has to offer. They apply that same resolve to advocate for continued climate action. Our athlete’s accomplishments, ethos and stories transcend political affiliation and bias. Get to know their passion for the outdoors—and what they’re doing to save it. Our athlete alliance is composed of the athlete ambassadors of our nine country chapters.
