The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) has produced a set of Sustainability Guidelines which aim to provide simple, practical and essential information for Member Federations and Event Organisers to develop effective sustainability programmes, therefore maximizing the positivie impact of Sport Climbing in environmental, social and economic matters. As these areas overlap, they should be addressed with a single, integrated approach.

The Guidelines also outline the ways in which the IFSC intend to be more sustainable within the office, as well as during events.

The IFSC Sustainability Guidelines and goals for 2020-2022 follow the International Olympice Committee's five focus areas

The first four are applicable to things that the sports industry does, such as building/operating venues, acquiring goods/services and managing resources, moving people/goods, as well as managing people. Climate, the fifth focus area, requires special attention as a recurring theme.

To be committed to sustainability means to take the time to consider new an improved ways of thinking and behaving, challenging and learning from old ways of doint things so as to change for the better. As new issues surrounding sustainability are constantly arising, we invite our stakeholders to offer feedback and suggestions to ensure that the IFSC Sustainability Guidelines are as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
