This week, participants at the UNEP’s Global Forum for Sport and Environment (G-ForSE) in Nairobi reviewed the impact of environmental projects from the likes of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and discussed the sustainability measures planned for future sports events. First held in 2001, the Global Forum for Sport and Environment is a bi-annual forum organized by UNEP in partnership with the Global Sports Alliance.
The forum’s objectives are two-fold: to use the popularity of sports to promote environmental awareness and to encourage green activities through sport that bring real benefits to communities and to the environment.
