UKS are due to publish their Environmental Sustainability Strategy, outlining the actions to be taken over the next two years to set a strong foundation, identify the greatest impacts across high-performance sport and drive progress in these areas. A key component of this strategy will be providing support and guidance to the ~40 NGBs into which UKS invests to measure their environmental impact and to produce environmental sustainability action plans for their organisation by 31 March 2025, which align with the ambition set out in the UN's Sports for Climate Action Framework. ### Objectives The main objective is to accelerate action in this space, building the capacity, skills and confidence of NGBs to work on environmental sustainability and embed long term changes. Within the cohort of NGBs in which we invest there is a mix of paralympic sports, winter sports, newer sports and performance-only focused organisations. Intending to group NGBs together to form clusters, we anticipate there will be 8 clusters of between 4 and 7 NGBs. Each cluster will receive a proportionate level of support/deliverables depending on size and complexity. Exceptions are: - One cluster consisting of NGBs with sustainability strategies/action plans already in place. The primary requirement will be for measurement of environmental impacts. - One 'innovation' cluster consisting of NGBs who are already far progressed on their sustainability journey. ### Project deliverables - Environmental sustainability action plans for each of the participating organisations including decarbonisation pathways to meet the science-based net zero target for Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions, as required by the UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action Framework. - Development of a clear and robust method of measurement and monitoring of environmental impact focusing on greenhouse gas emissions, including a benchmark and common understanding of organisational boundaries and accountability for reporting (considering multiple funding sources, complex governance structures and major events). - Delivery of learning and development opportunities to embed the outputs of this project (audience as appropriate e.g. NGB staff, board members). - Recommendations of further capacity building and embedding of environmental sustainability to continue momentum. - Production of assets and approaches that can be shared for knowledge transfer and cost-efficiency. Any assets produced e.g. written reports, should be presented in a succinct and user-friendly style that will be easily understood by a range of stakeholders. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please find ITT documents attached to this notice.
