‼️In My Opinion: "FIFA’s announcement to host the 2030 World Cup across 3 continents is at odds with their commitments to cut emissions." 📝University of Sussex researcher, Freddie Daley, says asking fans to fly around the world by plane is wrong.




@ProfMikeWeed @ProfRob_Wilson @EASMBoard To be fair professor in here we do make the point that by Fifa's own estimation, the 2026 World Cup will be the most emitting tournament it has ever staged bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

Here’s one for @ProfMikeWeed. Could climate change impact the 2026 World Cup? Or should the question be; could the 2026 World Cup impact climate change. ‘Sport is sport washing itself’. Very timely piece after todays keynote address at #EASM23 @EASMBoard.

@diti121688 @ProfMikeWeed The last few slides here highlight Mike’s main points - sport is responsible, needs to do much more and the suggestions need to be radical #EASM2023


Some questions I’ll be exploring in Friday morning’s @EASMBoard keynote: (i) Does sport disproportionately impact climate change? (ii) Can sport combat climate change? (iii) What is sport’s appetite for change? #EASM2023







‘It’s done! Friday morning’s @EASMBoard Keynote is all ready …and would you like to guess the answers to the questions? It’s not too far from “NO” and “NOT ENOUGH” #EASM2023
