The relationship between sports and sustainability is gaining more attention in today’s world, as sports—both a social and cultural force—have a significant impact on the environment, communities, and the achievement of sustainability goals. We are proud that Climate Action will be participating in the Netrisk Sport and Innovation Conference, where Dr. Gábor Gremsperger, a leading expert in sustainability and environmental protection, will deliver a presentation on Sport x Sustainability.

 

This invitation is not only an honor but also a vital recognition of Climate Action's achievements in promoting sustainability within the sports sector. Sports hold great potential to drive positive social and environmental changes, acting not only as entertainment but also as a powerful platform to spread sustainable values. During his presentation, Dr. Gremsperger will explain how sports can be leveraged to promote sustainability, both in the organization of large sporting events and in everyday sports activities.

 

A highlight of the event will be a focus on the University of Physical Education's 100th-anniversary sustainability programs, which are being implemented in collaboration with Climate Action. This long-term partnership aims to introduce practices and projects that not only support environmental sustainability but also promote the health and well-being of athletes and communities. The programs emphasize energy efficiency, resource conservation, and the active engagement of local communities, forming the foundation for sustainable future sports events.

 

At Climate Action, our mission is to guide the world of sports toward a future where minimizing ecological footprints and achieving sustainability goals are central to every aspect of sports. Events like the Netrisk Sport and Innovation Conference offer a valuable opportunity to showcase how we are contributing with concrete, innovative solutions that make sports more sustainable. The projects and initiatives led by Climate Action are designed to make not only the world of sports but also society as a whole more sustainable.

 

Sports play a vital role in shaping our future, not only through competition and community building but also by creating a sustainable tomorrow. We believe that sustainability in sports goes beyond major events and should be embedded in daily operations, from athlete training to event organization, facility management, and community programs.
