Sustainability at the IWGA
Sustainability is one of the core values on which the IWGA was founded. Subsequently, the IWGA joined the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework (UNFCCC) in May 2020 as well as Sport and Sustainability International to address the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and combat climate change.
Since the first edition of The World Games, we have implemented a unique venue approach, based on a complete personalisation to the host city characteristics and the principle of sustainability as a driving force. Our goal is to adapt the sports programme to the existing or temporary infrastructure, to limit the impact of the event on the environment, at the same time creating the best possible experience for athletes and fans.
