Football is more than a game. It’s a global cultural force with the power to shift norms, inspire communities, and mobilise collective action. As the climate crisis demands transformative change in how we live and consume, the world of sport, and football in particular, faces a critical question: can it become a genuine catalyst for climate action?
This event will explore how football clubs, players, fans, and governing bodies are addressing the climate crisis: from reducing emissions and plastic use in stadiums, to engaging supporters in sustainable behaviours. It will draw on behavioural science, social psychology, and environmental policy research to discuss what makes football uniquely positioned to lead societal change.
Speakers:
Elliot Arthur-Worsop
Katie Cross
Alexei Rojas
Professor Lorraine Whitmarsh
Chair:
Dr Jan Zglinski
