Manifesto
for the future of winter sports
The future of winter sports is in our hands.
Climate change is becoming increasingly evident and poses significant challenges to winter sports, both now and in the future. Now more than ever, it is time to rethink familiar structures, adapt them further, and make winter sports more sustainable. We are firmly committed to preserving the places we cherish and the sports that inspire us—for the generations to come. With this manifesto, we reaffirm our commitment to winter sport to make a positive contribution to society - winter sport that gives more than it takes away.
The principles of our actions:
#1 United for a Sustainable Future
We can only overcome the impacts of climate change on winter sports through collective action. We share responsibility and advocate for sustainable change at both the societal and political levels. Our initiative promotes the active participation of all stakeholders and brings them together to collaboratively develop viable solutions.
#2 Raising Awareness and Inspiring Action
Time is of the essence, and it is crucial to continue raising awareness about present and future challenges. Through targeted media outreach, educational campaigns, and concrete actions, we focus on science-based facts, solutions, and positive examples. In doing so, we aim to inspire everyone who loves winter sports to engage even more actively in shaping a sustainable future.
#3 People at the Heart
Winter sports are more than just athletic pursuits—they are ways to connect with nature, enhance quality of life, and provide livelihoods for many. We are committed to preserving the positive aspects of winter sports while ensuring that climate adaptation and protection measures are implemented in socially responsible ways. In doing so, we take particular account of local conditions.
#4 Aligning Climate Protection with Economic Viability
Sustainability and economic interests must go hand in hand. We are committed to ensuring that economic goals are not pursued at the expense of climate protection. At the same time, we acknowledge the importance of financial feasibility. By embracing renewable energy and innovative technologies, we demonstrate how ecological responsibility and economic success can coexist.
