Letter to Prime Minister
The Rt Hon Boris Johnson The Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 23rd September 2020 Dear Prime Minister, A Green Recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic If it were not for the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s hearts and minds would have been captured this summer by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games: events that have "Passing on Legacy for the Future” as part of their core mission. Yet the years where that Legacy will unfold are under acute threat from climate change. In February this year, you confirmed that "there can be no greater responsibility than protecting our planet, and no mission that a Global Britain is prouder to serve”. With the COP26 and G7 presidencies next year, the UK has a golden opportunity to show international leadership on the most important issue facing humankind. We can sit timidly in the pack, pretending that we have no role to play in the unfolding race. Or, like the athletes we would have watched this summer, we can race to win. We urge your Government to act consistently with the recognised need for “urgent action”, by developing a truly Green approach to recovery from the pandemic. In championing this approach, the UK can take confidence from the last months, which have demonstrated the incredible capacity our society has to make huge alterations from “business as usual” in order to protect one another. The economic benefits of pursuing a Green recovery have also received emphatic endorsement from the Committee on Climate Change, the present and former Governors of the Bank of England, and research from Oxford University.

Learning about their experiences, trials and tribulations inspires others to strive to achieve greatness in their chosen sport. Politicians and governments also have a duty to encourage new talent to emerge. Between 2003 and 2010, under the last Labour government, the number of secondary school children playing sport for two or more hours a week rose from 20% to 85%. Labour also set up a network of school sports co-ordinators who were responsible for working on an inter-school basis to increase the range and quality of sports available for pupils. In an interview with the Guardian, school sports coordinator, Jo Marston has called these the ‘halcyon days’ on the basis of a previously unseen breadth and depth of competition in school sports. In 2010 Michael Gove abolished the networks of school sports co-ordinators set up by Labour in the face of much outrage from both teachers and athletes.

The Olympians were selected for the training programme from an outstanding pool of more than 170 applicants who shared this opportunity as part of an MOU signed with the World Olympians Association (WOA) in 2020 to provide Olympians with new education and work opportunities. Chris Solly, Managing Director at WAoS, commented: “With such amazing Olympians applying for this opportunity, we would have liked to have taken on all the interested Olympians for this programme. All applicants shared a clear passion to give back to their sport and young aspiring athletes by actively promoting the importance of continuing education while competing in a chosen sport. WAoS hopes to have more opportunities for these applicants in the future. For those who participated in the training and were here today, our WAoS team is excited to be working with this inspirational group of Olympians who during the training showed enthusiasm, knowledge and passion in assisting schools around the world to support the next generation of athletes.” Speaking at the ceremony, WOA President Joël Bouzou OLY, said: “Congratulations to my fellow Olympians on achieving this important qualification and for adapting to the challenges of completing your training in a virtual environment.
