About the Project

With its unparalleled reach, football has a responsibility to tackle climate change. Yet, shifting society towards a more sustainable future for all requires empowered individuals, commitment, strong choices and a collaborative path.

Led by Common Goal and Football For Future, together we have teamed up to develop a tailored programme to raise awareness and empower players to take meaningful steps toward a sustainable future. The goal is simple: drive climate action and sustainable change both within and through the world’s most popular sport. Together, we are going beyond raising awareness and are empowering players to take meaningful steps toward a sustainable future. We bring players eager to drive climate action and the community fosters a sense of responsibility and addresses three main assets:

• Community: Build a community of climate-conscious players, collaborating beyond our own community
• Tools: Players receive the tools to work with their unique networks to drive and influence sustainable change
• Confidence: Players feel confident to publicly advocate for climate action

How It Works

With the players, we host virtual sessions alternating between check-in sessions and trainings with guest speakers to facilitate community building and offer further expertise on niche climate and sustainability topics. We address topics like sustainability in clubs, football for climate justice, fast fashion, food and climate change, carbon offsetting, climate communication, etc. Each training session is on themes critical to the successful execution of Climate Action Projects.
