The International Federation of Teqball (FITEQ) has become a signatory of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

FITEQ, the latest sports body to sign the framework, has pledged to promote greater environmental responsibility and reduce the overall climate impact of the sport.

It has also promised to "promote sustainable and responsible consumption and advocate for climate action through our communications".

They are part of the five core principles enshrined in the Sports for Climate Action framework, which calls on sporting organisations to acknowledge the contribution of the sports sector to climate change.

"Through collective action and bold leadership, FITEQ is determined to use its platform to create solidarity on this critical issue," said FITEQ head of diplomatic relations Gergely Murányi.

"By signing the framework, we are confirming our commitment to playing our part in helping the sports sector continue on the path to a low-carbon future. 

"It is important that FITEQ shows leadership in this area and inspires our athletes, fans and partners all around the world to be active participants in making a difference."
