The organizers of the event recognized the importance of sustainability aspects and started implementing the Legacy Forest project in the framework of a partnership
The world's largest athletics event, the World Athletics Championships, was held in Hungary, which is considered the most prominent competition in the sport. The event was not only a celebration of sport and human achievement, but also focused on ecological sustainability. The World Athletics Championship was the official sustainability partner of the world's third largest sports event, and the forestry sustainability project called Legacy Forest was implemented as part of this. In the creation of this project, Pilisi Parkerdő Zrt., which manages the forests of the capital and its region, cooperated for prominent partners, the forestry company supported the creation of the Legacy Forest with its usual extremely high professional quality.
The World Athletics Championships is a well-known event in the world of sports, during which the world's best athletes compare their skills and fitness. The event is watched by millions of sports fans from all over the world, and the media also reports on the event widely. However, such large-scale events can have a significant ecological footprint, particularly in the areas of public transport, energy use and waste management. Therefore, the organizers of the event also recognized the importance of sustainability aspects and started the implementation of the Legacy Forest project in the framework of a partnership with Pilisi Parkerdő Zrt, the official sustainability partner of the World Athletics Championships.
The goal of the Legacy Forest project was to remove the carbon dioxide emitted during the event from the atmosphere and contribute to the regeneration of forests. Forests are one of the most important tools in maintaining the ecological balance of the planet, as they produce oxygen, bind carbon dioxide and are home to many living creatures. In addition, the protection and maintenance of forests is a key element in the fight against climate change.
Pilisi Parkerdő Zrt., as a priority partner of the project, undertook to help alleviate the environmental effects caused by the World Athletics Championships. Within this framework, the company's experts contributed in a high professional capacity to the afforestation plans and implementation of the Legacy Forest. The forestry company carried out the afforestation works based on the principles of the urban forest program, which not only promotes the extraction of carbon dioxide, but also brings long-term benefits, such as biodiversity, the preservation of the natural values of the forests and, last but not least, the recreation of the population living in the area in nature , promoting sports opportunities and improving the quality of life.
The connection between the World Athletics Championships and the Legacy Forest project shows that sports events can also contribute to creating a sustainable future. The cooperation between the World Athletics Championships and the Legacy Forest project can be an example for other events and events, how to responsibly organize and support goals that contribute to the health of the population of the planet and a global city and the creation of a sustainable future.
