The Commonwealth Games are coming back to Glasgow in 2026, and the city will no doubt be buzzing with activity. With so many people coming together to enjoy the events and so much positive energy, the Hub would love to see climate action and environmental issues be part of the action.​The proposal is simple; they're looking for the most interesting answer to the following question:- What does a meaningful connection between the Commonwealth Games (or sports in general) and climate action look like and how might they build on that connection to generate conversations that leave a lasting impact on participants’ perception of climate change/action?Ideally, they'd love to see applications from sports organisations who are already planning activities that tie into the games. Even better, they'd love to see a partnership between a sports organisation and one of the many amazing climate groups we have in the city to enhance the impact of the project and really ensure the climate perspective is front and centre. Feel free to look at the members of the Glasgow Community Climate Action Network if you’re looking for potential partners. If you’re looking for a particular type of expertise that isn’t there, please get in touch and the Hub will be happy to try some matchmaking.They know that the application and delivery window are tight and are happy for applications to represent a well thought out idea to be developed if not a fully mapped out proposal. As long as they're confident that your application is realistic and that your organisation has the experience and established connections to deliver.
