FISav is proud to announce that we have joined the UNFCCC’s Sports for Climate Action initiative as a signatory to the Sports for Climate Action Framework. This initiative calls on sporting organizations to acknowledge the contribution of the sports sector to climate change and our responsibility to strive towards climate neutrality for a safer planet.
FISav has been working towards sustainability goals for several years, for example, requiring event organizers to focus on environmental responsibility at competitions. By signing the Framework, we have demonstrated our wider commitment to playing our part to ensure the sports sector is on the path to a low-carbon future.
In line with the five core principles, we will strive to:
- promote greater environmental responsibility;
- reduce the overall climate impact from our activities;
- use our new SavateBien platform to educate for climate action;
- promote sustainable and responsible consumption;
- and advocate for climate action through our communications.
With this in mind, we hope our commitment will inspire the Savate community worldwide to raise their climate ambition in a united effort to limit global warming. This is a fight we can, and must, win to avoid significantly worsening the risk of droughts, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.
