Sustainability in Sport | Ashoka at London Climate Action Week 2022

The transformative power of sport is one we see all around us - it unifies communities, unlocks potential for our young people, and celebrates people for what they can do not where they come from. But in today's rapidly changing and hugely challenging world, the sporting industry has big questions to grapple with - from climate change and human rights, to gender and racial justice.

In this virtual panel, hosted in collaboration with thinkBeyond, we asked leading experts from the fields of football and social change - how can we strengthen the role of football as a catalyst for sustainable transformation? Is the football industry ready to deal with change, and respond for the good of all?

Hear from:
Jürgen Griesbeck, Ashoka Fellow and Co-Founder of Common Goal
Farkhunda Muhtaj, a young footballer and humanitarian ambassador
Dr Carol Bell, Director of the Football Association of Wales
Susie Tomson, Director of Sustainability at thinkBeyond (Panel Moderator)
