Climate cost of expanded World Cup under scrutiny as emissions set to soar
Researchers estimate that as much as 87 per cent of the tournament’s emissions will come from travel.
The upcoming World Cup is facing increased scrutiny over its environmental impact, with researchers projecting a significant rise in carbon emissions. A substantial portion, estimated at up to 87 percent, of the tournament's total emissions is expected to stem from travel-related activities. This includes flights for teams, staff, and spectators, as well as ground transportation during the event. The scale of the tournament, involving extensive global travel, is a primary driver of these projected emissions.
The substantial carbon footprint highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing major international sporting events with global climate action goals.
