From World Cups and Olympic Games to grassroots matches in muddy parks, sport is deeply woven into the fabric of urban life and deeply rooted in nature. Yet the infrastructure and resources it requires can place a heavy burden on natural ecosystems. In cities, where nature is often squeezed to the sidelines, these pressures can be especially pronounced. But what if sport could change the rules of the game? Could sport help nature mount a comeback?
Join us for the second Sports for Nature ‘Nature Sportified’ webinar where we will explore:
- How sports in cities can help nature thrive.
- What tangible benefits acting for nature can bring to sports organisations.
- How a tennis grand slam venue, a Bundesliga club and an NBA team are making nature a strategic priority.
- The new Sports for Nature “Urban Playbook”, which will be launched at the webinar.
Our expert line-up includes:
- Andrew Wayro, Senior Landscape and Environment Manager, Estate Development, All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC)
- Danielle Doza, Vice President, Sustainability and Environmental Services, Cleveland Cavaliers
- Nico Briskorn, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, VfL Wolfsburg
- Russell Galt, Head of Science and Natural Capital, Nature Broking; Member of Sports for Nature Advisory Group
The webinar will take place on Wednesday 2 July at 4-5pm CET and you can register here.
