LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Climate change is becoming a growing threat to British sport, damaging facilities, disrupting fixtures, increasing costs and deterring participation, according to a report that warns the sector is dangerously under-prepared for extreme weather.
Every organisation surveyed reported being affected by extreme weather in 2026 and 94% said sport was under-prepared for climate change. Yet a separate review of professional club disclosures found only nine had explicitly identified climate or extreme weather as a business risk.

伦敦，11 月 5 日（路透社）——一份报告警告称，气候变化正日益成为英国体育运动的威胁，它会破坏设施、扰乱比赛、增加成本并阻碍人们参与，而且该报告还指出，英国体育界在应对极端天气方面准备严重不足。
所有受访机构均表示将在2026年受到极端天气的影响，94%的机构认为体育界对气候变化准备不足。然而，另一项针对职业俱乐部披露信息的审查发现，只有九家俱乐部明确将气候或极端天气列为商业风险。
