Cooperation with The Socca Hungarian Small Sided Football Association
Climate Action Ltd. is the official sustainability consultant of the SOCCA World Cup, which will be held in Hungary. Within the framework of the cooperation, we calculate the carbon footprint of the 40 teams visiting our country and offset it with our neutralization project in Hungary, which is being implemented in the area of Vérteserdő Zrt. This also contributes to the World Cup being a completely environmentally conscious event.
Our company will assess the carbon footprint of all the national teams, all the participants and the event itself. We also calculate how much and how much reforestation the event can neutralise. Our main goal is to plant the forest in Hungary, through the Hungarian State Forestry, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture!
The specific project will be implemented this year in the Vérteserdő Zrt. area, where currently there are still forest pine and invasive acacia trees, planted in the late 1960s. The reforestation will be carried out through a forest structural change, which will result in the creation of a forest of native tree seedlings that are more resistant to climate change, also known as mixed evergreen forests. Beyond the 6-8 years of nurturing of the planted seedlings, the management of the stand can be achieved with low environmental impact. Every 7-10 years, reforestation interventions are required, mainly to prevent the further spread of invasive species that are introduced.
