This checklist may be used by Organizers to plan, manage and deliver the Event in a way which enhances environmental, social and economic opportunities and minimizes adverse impacts, as described in UWW's Event Preparation Guide (Section 10). 

United World Wrestling (UWW) understands that engaging youth is fundamental to the long-term sustainability of wrestling development, and the More than Medals programme, launched in 2016, supports this. The programme includes training camps where dedicated educational sessions cover numerous topics including the importance of climate change. The series of camps target young athletes and their coaches/entourages using a holistic approach. Participants practise wrestling while receiving education on climate action with an emphasis on “participation, distinction and diversity”. In 2019, the UWW joined the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Sports for Climate Action Framework alongside the IOC. As part of the activation, the UWW is now developing and implementing an even stronger educational aspect within the More than Medals programme to include UWW members. The aim of the programme is to: Undertake systematic efforts to promote greater environmental responsibility. Reduce overall climate impact. Offer education on climate action. Promote sustainable and responsible consumption. Advocate for climate action through communication.
