Practical recommendations for more sustainable major sporting events

Major sporting events attract millions of spectators every year. However, they also generate a significant amount of waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and other environmental impacts.

To address this issue, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) has published a new report with practical recommendations for making major sporting events more sustainable.

The report outlines a comprehensive approach to sustainability, covering all aspects of event planning and operations, from venue selection to waste management. It includes specific measures that event organizers can implement to reduce their environmental impact, such as:

  • Using renewable energy sources
  • Reducing waste generation
  • Promoting sustainable transportation
  • Greening event venues
  • Offsetting unavoidable emissions

“We want to support event organizers in making their events more sustainable,” said BMUV Minister Svenja Schulze. “The recommendations in this report provide a roadmap for how to do just that.”

The report was developed in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including event organizers, sports federations, and environmental NGOs. It draws on best practices from around the world and provides practical guidance that event organizers can use to improve the sustainability of their events.

“Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have for major sporting events,” said Harald Strutz, President of the German Football Association (DFB). “It is a must-have. The recommendations in this report will help us to make our events more sustainable and to protect the environment for future generations.”

The report is available for download on the BMUV website:

Additional information

In addition to the recommendations in the report, there are a number of other things that event organizers can do to make their events more sustainable. These include:

  • Partnering with local businesses and organizations to reduce transportation impacts
  • Using sustainable materials for event construction and decoration
  • Educating attendees about sustainability and encouraging them to take action
  • Measuring and reporting on the environmental impacts of the event

By taking these steps, event organizers can help to reduce the environmental impact of major sporting events and create a more sustainable future for sport.
