Co-creating Cultures for the Future Week
Playing for the Planet: The Role of Sports in Driving Sustainability
UN (United Nations)
Sport has a unique power to inspire and unite people across cultures and communities. As the world faces pressing environmental and social challenges, the sports industry plays a vital role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Football for the Goals, a United Nations initiative launched in July 2022, provides a platform for the global football community to engage with and advocate for the SDGS, human rights, equality and climate action.
This event, held in collaboration with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), an inaugural member of “Football for the Goals,” will bring together key figures from sport associations, private companies, and athletes at the forefront of the sports industry to discuss the role of sports in driving sustainability and positive change in society. The panelists will explore the intersection of sports and sustainability and discuss how the sports sector can lead the way in building a more sustainable future.
