Mitigation strategies for the outdoor sportīoth short- and long-term transport mitigation strategies are essential if the ambitious and GHG reduction targets of the European Green Deal and the Paris Declaration are to be achieved. Limit global warming requires immediate action, involving rapid and deep and in most cases immediate GHG emissions also for the outdoor sport. Tourism in general accounts for about 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the share of outdoor sport is unknown.

As outdoor sport often involves traveling to distant destinations, air transport is another unsustainable consumption pattern. Outdoor sport is motor sport, this is the hands-down reality in Europe today. This is even more true for outdoor sport. Sport mobility is dominated by individual car transport. Transforming mobility is an enormous challenge for recreation and sport as these activities cause a major share of the passenger kilometres in the European Union.

Meeting mitigation goals would require transformative changes in the transport sector. Europeans have a fair share of responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change sets clear and non-negotiable limits to green house gas emissions, if the world should stay within a safe corridor of global warming. Motorized individual and mass transport are still dominated by fossil fuels, thus contributing substantially to global warming. For the majority of Europeans recreation and sport are a meaningful element of such a good life, accessible for most and more globalized than ever before.īut these achievements create social and ecological stresses. European identity is a canon of common values and a common understanding of what shapes a good life. Personal experience, personal encounters and common activities are still – regardless of the developing digital and virtual communication options – vital to create a European identity and inherent dependent on mobility.

Mobility within a free Europe has empowered many Europeans and fostered understanding and cultural exchange between the countries of the EU.

Zero pollution in our natural environment.Sustainable industries, resources and equipment for outdoor sports.Clean energy for clean and green sports.Being green, eating green and supporting sustainable agriculture.Reconnecting people with nature to help increase, enhance and protect biodiversity.Our response involved the creation of 10 distinct sections or chapters and over the coming weeks our sustainability group will provide some key information on each of these topics: The ENOS Policy Position Paper on the EU Green Deal is a fairly long and detailed document that highlights our views on the green deal but also how the outdoor sports sector can respond to support its implementation.
