Climate change is impacting athletes*

Today, athletes* face new obstacles to achieving their goals. Whether poor air quality, extreme heat or unpredictable weather, the impact of climate change is felt everywhere, at every level. It challenges the ability of all athletes* to play, train and compete to their full potential.  

That is why NIKE is focused on sustainable innovation at scale across our entire business.  

From industry-leading apparel technology, like Dri-FIT, to footwear breakthroughs like ReactX foam, we continue to push the known limits of product design, always challenging ourselves to create better. We don’t settle for anything less than high performance products—made more sustainably—that help athletes* adapt and perform at their best. 

Across our entire value chain—a network of thousands of suppliers and partners, and millions of athletes* worldwide—we drive continuous improvement in how we design, make and deliver products to help reduce emissions and eliminate waste. We work across industries and continents to conserve water resources and develop cleaner chemistries that help minimize environmental impact. We take action every day as only NIKE can to move the world forward through sport and help every athlete* thrive.
