swiss unihockey (Swiss Floorball Federation) has also set itself a great goal alongside the playing field for the Men’s WFC 2022 in Zurich und Winterthur. The final round in 2022 will be the first climate neutral World Floorball Championship in history. This “Green Goal”, as defined by the organising committee, can be reached with creative and innovative measures in different areas as well as with “the cooperation of our fans, partners and sponsors.
A world championship is always the publicity poster for a sport, but the Men’s World Floorball Championship 2022 should also be the shining light of a sustainable major event. For this to happen, you need new and innovative measures, with a big added dose of creativity. The measures can be divided up into five main categories: arena operations, team travel and accommodation, fan travel, food at the venue as well as material purchasing and waste. More about the individual measures for each of the areas can be found here.
Overall, the WFC 2022 should have CO2 emissions totalling a maximum of 3000 tons. That is less than half of the total CO2 emissions of the WFC 2018. The 2018 event was the biggest and most successful floorball WFC up to now, with over 180’000 attendance and set new standards on many levels. The emissions for WFC 2022 will be compensated by investing in some of myclimate’s various climate projects.
This kind of ambitious goal needs eager and committed allies. Together with its partners and sponsors, they are looking for new solutions and extraordinary ideas. There are endless possibilities, from innovative product recycling to sustainably manufactured clothing for volunteers. Visitors to the event can also make a significant contribution. They want to provide ways to do this so that everyone can help reach the “Green Goal” and, in the best case, also create added value.
