1. What do you like about the Framework and what do you think will encourage sports organisations to become signatories,  taking action to advance their nature journey? 
2. How do you think the Framework could be amended to better encourage sports organisations to become signatories and take action to advance their nature journey?
Principle 1.   Protect nature and avoid damage to natural habitats and species

Goal: Our organisation is committed to protecting and avoiding damage to natural habitats and species, including through respecting protected areas.

Targets:

- Identify and assess the ways in which your sport could have negative impacts on natural habitats and species. This can be carried out through consultation with relevant environmental authorities, local experts and NGOs to determine issues, risks and opportunities for areas with important or sensitive natural habitats and species.
[Note: Specific tools, guidance and a hot line will be available in order for you to be able to identify and assess potential impacts from your operations, events and venues].

- Avoid building permanent or temporary infrastructure in protected areas and other important areas for nature conservation where they could cause a negative impact.
[Note: Specific tools, guidance and a hot line will be available in order for you to be able to identify and assess nature conservation areas and potential impacts. Some guidance already exists and should be referred to, including applying the IUCN guidelines https://portals.iucn.org/library/sites/library/files/documents/2019-004-En.pdf]

- Ensure appropriate assessment of activities that could impact nature, before they take place, and put in place effective measures to ensure overall positive results for nature.
[Note: Specific tools, guidance and a hot line will be available in order for you to be able to identify and assess potential impacts. Some guidance already exists, such as the IUCN guidelines on Mitigating biodiversity impacts of sports events" https://portals.iucn.org/library/sites/library/files/documents/2020-007-En.pdf].

- Disseminate, if relevant, appropriate assessment / actions to your contractors, workforce, spectators and teams. Especially regarding sensitive issues such as invasive species reduction.

3. Does Principle 1 make sense to you and your sport? Is it simple enough to understand and implement whilst also being ambitious? Is it realistic and achievable?
Principle 2.  Restore and enhance nature wherever possible

Goal: Our organisation takes positive action to restore and enhance nature in and around the landscapes and seascapes where we operate.

Targets:

- Identify the ways you can restore and enhance nature. [Note: Specific tools, guidance and a hot line will be available in order for you to be able to identify potential opportunities where you might be able to restore and enhance nature].

- Make plans and set priorities to how you will implement practical actions to restore and enhance nature.

- Connect your actions in nature restoration with your climate goals.
4. Does Principle 2 make sense to you and your sport? Is it simple enough to understand and implement whilst also being ambitious? Is it realistic and achievable?
Principle 3.   Integrate nature into education and procurement

Goal: Our organisation will raise awareness on the importance of nature amongst our staff, partners, athletes, fans and stakeholders. We will also embed nature protection into our future procurement policies and decisions and work with our supply chain to raise awareness.

Targets:

- Develop the information required to advance the understanding and awareness of nature across your stakeholders.
[Note: Specific guidance and workshops will be available for you so that you are able to develop and create your own stakeholder engagement packages].

- Participate in the Sports for Nature Framework’s working groups and programmes, sharing progress, examples and lessons learned with peers and other stakeholders.

- Develop sustainable procurement and consumption policies and engage with your supply chain to reduce indirect impacts on nature, utilising the latest guidelines and standards. Ensure that biodiversity criteria is considered in contracts to ensure no materials or products are used from plants or animals on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species or any species covered under CITES.
[Note: Specific guidance will be developed to support you in the implementation of a more sustainable supply chain, as well as links to climate related policies. Some guidance already exists, such as the IOC’s Sustainable Sourcing in Sport https://stillmed.olympic.org/media/Document%20Library/OlympicOrg/IOC/What-We-Do/celebrate-olympic-games/Sustainability/sustainability-essentials/SUSTAINABILITY-ESSENTIALS-ISSUE-3-final.pdf].
5. Does Principle 3 make sense to you and your sport? Is it simple enough to understand and implement whilst also being ambitious? Is it realistic and achievable?
Principle 4. Inspire positive action for nature across and beyond sport

Goal: Our organisation will act to inspire and influence positive behaviour change across our communities.

Targets:

- Take action and develop a communications plan to promote nature in your communication, education and outreach plans, including at your events, with your sponsors and advertisers, fans, athletes and communities
[Note: Specific guidance and workshops will be available for you so that you are able to develop and create your own communication plan]

- Engage athletes to be champions for a nature positive future.

- Report on progress and encourage others sports to take positive action for nature across their sports.
