Sportler*in - Sports For Future

Athlete

Whether it's traveling to training camps, going to competitions, or the sometimes unavoidable flights to the next world championship, athletes are often on the move and can leave a significant carbon footprint. However, there are numerous ways to still engage in climate and environmental protection. Over the past years, we have successfully implemented various projects in collaboration with athletes like Carlotta Nwajide or Miranda Wilson, contributing to the gradual transition of sports towards sustainability.
