Sport: A Key Soft Power That Can Change the World
Faced with climate emergencies, inequalities, and a failing system, we no longer have the luxury of being spectators.
Taking action is necessary. Engaging is the key.
Sport unites. It ignites passion, stirs emotions, and mobilizes people on a massive scale.
It’s urgent to harness this power—not just as entertainment or a commercial tool, but as a true force for influence and positive transformation.
What do we stand for?
For sports and events aligned with the Paris Agreement.
Let’s rethink existing models, from mega-events to the entire economic framework of sports.
For a sport where women’s presence and leadership inspire and pave the way for true equality.
Let’s break down the boys’ clubs running sports (federations, media…) and embed strong education programs from the very first step on the field.
For a sport that inspires and acts beyond the podiums.
Let’s empower athletes in their role as opinion leaders and put an end to sportwashing.
Driving Change through 4 pillars.

Athletes’ Academy.

Workshops, discussions, and inspiring meetings will shape this half-day, providing an opportunity to explore how athletes can become drivers of positive change.
Open-door event, organized by Outdoor Sports Valley and Protect Our Winters.
Hot Topic of the Year: Mountains & Glaciers.
Witnesses and first victims of climate change, mountains are transforming. How can we balance preservation, sport, and economy without jeopardizing their future? This year, a dedicated zone, a major conference, and strategic meet-ups will bring together scientists, experts, athletes, economic players, and NGOs to explore concrete solutions and new perspectives. As 2025 marks a special year for glacier preservation, we will host a Glaciers Night, gathering key actors working to protect our summits, raise awareness, and drive action for this crucial cause.
Act & Connect
From open Meetups & Gatherings to exclusive Sport for Change and Sport Business events, every networking moment is designed to inspire action and accelerate impact. Whether you’re an athlete, corporate leader, changemaker, or industry expert, these sessions will offer a unique space to exchange ideas, spark synergies, and drive meaningful change together.
