The presentation of the Carbon Neutral Sports Clubs Network held in Bulgaria

The key meeting of the EU project Carbon Neutral Sports Clubs Network took place on June 25 and 26 in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.

The main topic of the meeting was the discussion on the progress and future of the project. The project partners, which in addition to the Dubrovnik Sports Association and the Bulgarian hosts include sports organizations from Turkey, Italy, Portugal and Greece, shared the results of the activities carried out so far, highlighting above all the training programs of sports clubs.

This is precisely why it was decided to emphasize the vision, mission, ethical values ​​and goals of networking through the Carbon Neutral Sports Clubs Network, in order to ensure adherence to these values ​​by clubs interested in joining this sports network, but also to offer clear criteria and benefits of membership. The presented strategies for the sustainability of the network of clubs include annual conferences, webinars and the creation of educational tools, because it is through education, promotion of green activities and social engagement that this project seeks to achieve carbon neutrality, i.e. the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the sports sector.

The official website of this sports network and a promotional video are planned to be launched by mid-July. Preparations have also begun for the presentation of the project at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change COP-29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22, as well as for the final project conference on December 4 and 5 in Milan, which will bring together representatives of local clubs and project teams.
