Pat Cummins
CRICKET FOR CLIMATE
In the scorching summer of 2018, as Pat Cummins watched players struggle in the record-breaking heat, he realised that the Climate Crisis wasn’t just a distant threat – it was altering the game he loved. Just a year later, bushfire smoke made breathing difficult for players on the field.
Pat founded the player-led movement Cricket for Climate on the belief that creating practical change starts with each individual and ripples out through cricket communities. By connecting and collaborating with fans, associations, businesses, government, and other sports, Cricket for Climate leads practical solutions for a sustainable future. Its ambitious ‘Net Zero Cricket’ initiative aims to protect cricket ecosystems and transition over 3,700 community cricket clubs and major venues to carbon-negative, water-positive, and zero-waste operations, setting a new standard for sustainability in sports.
Through his on-field excellence and off-field advocacy, Pat Cummins shows how sportspeople can be pivotal in the fight for the environment. Learn more about Cricket for climate on their website and on Linkedin, and follow the hashtag #cricket4climate on Instagram.
