It's not just winter sports that are being affected by climate change.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has confirmed work is underway "to address the consequences of climate change to the organization of worldwide sport," year-round.
The commission was tasked with looking at the possibility of rotating future Winter Games among a group of hosts able to provide consistently cold conditions, as well as whether the 2030 and 2034 Olympics should be awarded together. An IOC spokesman said only that the Future Host Commission for the Summer Games "continues to look into the important topic of climate change. Its next regular meeting will be held in November" in a statement to the Deseret News.
The statement notes the commissions report to the IOC Executive Board. Bach and the other members of the board, as well as the full IOC membership, are scheduled to be updated in October by the Future Host Commission for the Olympic Winter Games.
