Episode 1: The Breakdown.
So let's start at the beginning; a breakdown of the facts regarding climate change, what it is and what's happening to the world around us? And why does sport have such an uneasy relationship with the environment on which it relies? To help with the masses of questions, the one athlete you need at "the breakdown"; Australia legend David Pocock, the undisputed master of the loose ball, over a long international Rugby Union career. He tells how being engaged has helped provide balance in his life, how we all have a "moral obligation" and the need to "up our ambition". With the help of David's wife, Emma Pocock, CEO of "Frontrunners", we discuss why more athletes don't speak up on the most important issue and analyse an obvious "fear of hypocrisy". Which leads, just as we're wondering where the high profile Premier League footballers are on this, to one of the players of the season joining the conversation. Like many, Oriol Romeu - the Southampton midfielder - is engaged but wants more knowledge. He's come to the right place.
