Green League is a project that aims to strengthen the link between sport and the environment through experiential learning, promoting outdoor physical activity as a tool for or to generate environmental awareness and encouraging sustainable practices in sport. It answers the needs of encouraging the population to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts and of promoting healthy lives and well-being for everyone, therefore using sport as a tool to generate environmental awareness while contributing to a healthier lifestyle. The project’s key efforts revolve around the Green league Model – a framework that organisations can use to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. It is based on three main aspects: organisation, implementation, and promotion. The Green League Model emphasises the importance of creating a culture of sustainability within the sport organisations and sport professionals and implementing environmentally friendly practices throughout all aspects of the sports organisations’ operations. It also recognizes the importance of promoting sustainability both within the sport organisation and externally in order to create a more sustainable future for all.
