The Surfrider Foundation is launching its Green Sports Hub Europe program. Over the past few years, the NGO has actively participated in sports-related projects to protect the ocean and its users. The launch of Green Sport represents the next step in Surfrider Europe’s mission to promote healthier environmental sporting practices. Green Sport aims to develop a European platform by 2024 to guide federations in the organization of sustainable competitions, and to integrate ecological components in sports training on the path toward sustainability. In view of its commitments, the NGO has been mandated by the French Ministry of Sports to organize a conference, entitled “Calling the shots: Sports and the European Green evolution.” This event will take place online on May 25-26, and it is open to the public. The event will be hosted by a sports journalist, Anne-Laure Bonnet, and will bring together leading actors from various horizons in European sport, including the French Minister of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu.
