Geschreven op 17-11-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Sport
The largest database on environmental action in sports, G-ForSE is a platform for sports federations, sporting goods manufactures, event producers and sports enthusiasts to determine their roles in increasing environmental action and awareness in sports. The database highlights a broad spectrum of environmental action in sports from around the world in order to educate and promote these activities.
The G-ForSE Global Forum from 8-10 November 2010 in Nairobi, Kenya held every two years brings together the representatives of the sports world and rewards the best examples of environmental action in sports with the G-ForSE Prize.
2010 has been a year filled with international (sporting) events. From the Vancouver Olympic Games in February; the World EXPO 2010 in Shanghai from May to October; the FIFA World Cup from June to July; the Youth Olympic Games in August 2010, the Commonwealth Games in October and the Asian Games in November, the year has been full of excitement and adrenalin fuelled entertainment for sports enthusiasts.
Alot has also done on “greening” sport events in 2010. This includes UNEP’s engagement with the Indian Premier League, the UNEP-Puma Campaign on football and the International Year of Biodiversity and the work of the alternative energy commissions of the motor sports federations. The sporting goods industry has also played a part in integrating environmental considerations in their operations. Several sporting good companies have developed environmentally friendly sports apparels and kits for teams that participated in the World Cup. Source: G-ForSE
