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. At the closing ceremony of the London Olympics 2012, Seb Coe (1980 and 1984 Olympic Champion) said: “One day we will tell our children and our grandchildren, that when our time came, we did it right.” As present and former athletes, we urge you and your Government to bring new truth to these words, leading the way out of the pandemic whilst forging the ultimate Legacy: a healthy, safe Earth for all. Yours sincerely, Champions for Earth Supported by three hundred GB Olympians and Paralympians List of signatories: Melissa Wilson, World Championships 2017, 2018 & 2019 (Rowing) Etienne Stott MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 (Canoeing); Co-founder of Champions for Earth Dave Hampton, World Championships 1982 (Rowing); Co-founder of Champions for Earth Katie Rood, New Zealand International and UK Citizen (Football) Sir Steve Redgrave (Five-time Olympic Champion), Los Angeles 1984, Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 (Rowing) Hannah Cockroft MBE DL (Five-time Paralympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Athletics, T34 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m) Sir Mo Farah (Four-time Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Athletics, 5,000m & 10,000m ) Lady Mary Peters LG CH DBE DStJ (Olympic Champion), Tokyo 1964, Mexico 1968 & Munich 1972 (Pentathlon) Tessa Sanderson CBE (Olympic Champion), Montreal 1976, Moscow 1980, Los Angeles 1984, Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992 & Atlanta 1996 (Athletics, Javelin Throw) Rebecca Adlington OBE (Double Olympic Champion), Beijing 2008 & London 2012 (Swimming) Paula Radcliffe MBE, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 & Beijing 2008 (Athletics, Marathon) Helen Glover MBE (Double Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Rowing) Iain Bryden Percy OBE (Double Olympic Champion), Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 & London 2012 (Sailing) Alistair Brownlee MBE (Double Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Triathlon) Jonny Brownlee, London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Triathlon) Christine Ohuruogu MBE (Olympic Champion), Beijing 2008, London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Athletics, 400m & 4x400m Relay) William Fox-Pitt MBE, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Equestrianism) Jason Gardener MBE (Olympic Champion, President of UK Athletics), Sydney 2000 & Athens 2004 (Athletics, 4x100m Relay) Mark Lewis-Francis MBE (Olympic Champion), Athens 2004 (Athletics, 4x100m Relay) Professor Greg Whyte OBE PhD, Barcelona 1992 & Atlanta 1996 (Modern Pentathlon) Annamarie Phelps CBE (Vice-Chair of the British Olympic Association), Atlanta 1996 (Rowing) Timothy Baillie MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 (Canoe Slalom) Saskia Clark MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Sailing) Kat Copeland MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Rowing) Martin Cross (Olympic Champion), Moscow 1980, Los Angeles 1984, Seoul 1988 & Barcelona 1992 (Rowing) Alex Danson-Bennett MBE (Olympic Champion), Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 (Hockey) Lynn Davies CBE (Olympic Champion), Tokyo 1964, Mexico 1968 & Munich 1972 (Long Jump) Richard Dodds (Olympic Champion), Los Angeles 1984 & Seoul 1988 (Hockey) Gillian Donaldson MBE (née Sheen, Olympic Champion), Helsinki 1952, Melbourne 1956 & Rome 1960 (Fencing) Simon Dennis MBE (Olympic Champion), Sydney 2000 (Rowing) James Fox MBE (Paralympic Champion), Rio 2016 (Rowing) Judy Grinham MBE (Olympic Champion), Melbourne 1956 (Swimming) Garry Herbert MBE (Olympic Champion), Barcelona 1992 (Rowing) Dr David Hemery CBE (Olympic Champion), Mexico 1968 (Athletics, 400m Hurdles) Constantine Louloudis MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012, Rio 2016 (Rowing) Hannah Mills MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Sailing) George Nash MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Rowing) Veryan Pappin (Olympic Champion), Los Angeles 1984 & Seoul 1988 (Hockey) Tom Ransley MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Rowing) Susie Rodgers MBE (Paralympic Champion), Rio 2016 (Swimming) Lauren Rowles MBE (Paralympic Champion), Rio 2016 (Rowing) Mohamed Sbihi MBE (Olympic Champion), London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Rowing) Greg Searle MBE (Olympic Champion), Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 & London 2012 (Rowing) Jonny Searle MBE (Olympic Champion), Barcelona 1992 & Atlanta 1996 (Rowing) Callum Skinner (Olympic Champion), Rio 2016 (Track Cycling) David Smith MBE (Paralympic Champion), London 2012 (Rowing) Andrew Triggs Hodge OBE (Olympic Champion), Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 (Rowing) Anna Watkins MBE PhD (Olympic Champion), Beijing 2008 & London 2012 (Rowing) Laurence Whiteley MBE (Paralympic Champion), Rio 2016 (Rowing) Dr Mike Bull OBE, Mexico 1968 & Munich 1972 (Athletics, Pole Vault) Kathryn Cook MBE (née Smallwood), Moscow 1980 & Los Angeles 1984 (Athletics, 4x100m Relay & 400m) Sir Lawrence Clarke, 7th Baronet, London 2012 & Rio 2016, (110m Hurdles) Pippa Funnell MBE, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 & Rio 2016 (Equestrian Eventing) Frances Houghton MBE, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012 & Rio 2016 (Rowing) Anne J.F.
