The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) held its inaugural Climate Change and Sustainability Summit on Monday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 14 in Porto, Portugal. The event brought together approximately 50 international delegates comprising global racing leaders and sustainability experts.The summit focused on sharing good practices, exchanging insights and fostering collaboration aimed at advancing the climate change and sustainability agenda across horse racing and beyond.Closing remarks were provided by Brant Dunshea, CEO of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), who said, “The conversations over the past two days have shown that, while racing jurisdictions face different environmental challenges, we share a common ambition: to safeguard the long-term future of our sport.”He added, “None of us has all the answers, but every one of us has something to contribute. If every organisation leaves Porto committed to taking practical action and sharing what it learns with others, this summit will have achieved something truly valuable.“Climate change does not recognise borders, and neither should the solutions. By continuing to collaborate internationally, we can strengthen the resilience of racing worldwide and ensure our sport continues to thrive for generations to come. This summit should not be remembered as the end of a conversation, but as the beginning of a lasting international collaboration.”More information about the IFHA's inaugural Climate Change and Sustainability Summit can be found here.The post ‘The Beginning of a Lasting International Collaboration’ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
