Climate change and sport are coming together for the first time.
SailGP, the competition Peter Burling and Blair Tuke compete in, has become the first climate-positive sport by announcing the launch of their Impact League.
The league rewards teams competing based on how they try and reduce their carbon footprint and will mark them against ten sustainability measures.
It has created a second leaderboard and the winner of the impact league will be crowned alongside the season champions.
SailGP global director of Purpose and Impact Fiona Morgan told Mike Hosking the criteria athletes will be marked against can range from their travel arrangements to how their voice is used for good.
“There's a real range of criteria, it's all about simple changes that they can make."
