Going for Green Pledge
Demonstrate your commitment to becoming more environmentally sustainable by signing the Going for Green Pledge.
Show your commitment to becoming more environmentally sustainable by signing Sport England's Going for Green Pledge.
The Pledge asks clubs and organisations signing up to promote environmental sustainability by:
- reducing energy and water usage
- champion walking, cycling and lift sharing when travelling to activities
- drastically reduce reliance on single use plastics
- recycling waste and increasing the reuse of sports equipment and kit
- boosting activity to nurture nature and wildlife.
Pedal for Paris and the Going for Green Pledge
In July, Sport England chair Chris Boardman led an eight-day bike ride from Manchester to Paris, to promote green action and innovation ahead of the Olympic Games in the French capital.
Pedal for Paris referenced not just the host city for the Olympics and Paralympics but also the Paris Agreement, the landmark international treaty on climate change signed in December 2015.
The aim of the ride was to urge greater action to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and encourage our sector to accelerate action in pursuit of this goal.
To coincide with the ride, clubs and community groups in England were (and still are) invited to sign the Going for Green Pledge to become more sustainable. The pledges will show the sports sector leading by example, collectively tackling the most important challenge we are ever likely to face and in doing so, help ensure future generations continue to have a place to enjoy playing sports and stay physically active.
