The irony around the order selection of the presentations on climate responsibility in sports (specifically events) is not lost here... #ptg2024

[Frida Wågan @WaganFrida]

A great opportunity to do a fully funded PhD on an important topic!

Climate strike week 278. The final outcome of #COP28 is not a “historic win”, it is yet another example of extremely vague and watered down texts full of loopholes that in no way is even close to being sufficient for staying within the 1,5° limit and ensure climate justice.

I had the privilege reviewing 'Sport, Performance and Sustainability' for EJSS, which is a great contribution to the growing literature on sport and sustainability. Highly recommended for scholars and students interessted in the topic!

Should someone tell @UEFA that you don't need to artificially increase greenhouse gas emissions to provide clubs with and ask them to use a carbon calculator?

Out of the comfort-zone but also kind of exciting to get the chance to talk about my Phd-thesis on this weeks episode of @responsecast 🫣

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.

For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

This week's ISSA conference in Ottawa added new perspectives from many great scholars. I also got the privilege to present the first article in my thesis on ‘Regenerating the pitch: Contesting environmental discourses in football'.
Next up: Montreal -Toronto - Vancouver 📷

@courtneyszto @ubccss Great presentation on this at ISSA2023 - really looking forward to read the paper!

[Frida Wågan @WaganFrida]

On my way to ISSA 2023 Conference @OttawaU 🥳 A looong day with traveling ahead, but super excited to arrive and meet up with the RESPONSE-team and the rest of the sociology of sports community!

[Frida Wågan @WaganFrida]

This one really made me think today.. Thanks @BenMole11 @smcidle!

The convergence of sport, decoloniality, and the environment presents a labyrinth of intricate ideas, and as we delve into their interconnectedness, the complexity deepens.

[Ed Hawkins @ed_hawkins]

1. Global warming will continue until we reach net-zero.
2. The climate consequences will keep getting worse until we reach net-zero.
3. After reaching net-zero we will have to live and suffer in a warmer world for generations.
Do we act now or delay further?

[Prof. Peter Strachan @ProfStrachan]

Eight things the world must do to avoid the worst of #ClimateCrisis
1. Stop methane emissions
2. Stop deforestation
3. Restore degraded land
4. Change what we eat
5. Go #RenewableEnergy
6. Use energy more efficiently
7. Stop burning #FossilFuels
8. #ActNow https://t.co/8wNURqsLfL

The #GreenFootballWeekend impact report is out. In addition to many lessons learned, our findings tie in with existing academic & practical knowledge. They also prove that more can & must be done in football than relying on offsets and projects prioritising donations > action.

Structural change is required and #football fans need to see such changes happening.

Telling us that #sustainability is a concern and acting against it week after week (not only) risks people turning away in anger/remaining inactive.

Start taking this seriously and act on it!

[Frida Wågan @WaganFrida]

This 👏

[Dave Lockwood @DaveyLockwood]

Football is important, what football does is important, but maybe what football doesn’t do is also important ! It has such a special and privileged place in people’s hearts, in popular culture in business and in society all across the globe 🧵 1/5 https://t.co/hHFyaVorWu

I said what I said.

Great work by @BBCSport to map out flights ✈️ in pro football over the last two months.

An additional #hottake:
- Flying is more comfy & fancy, but there's no good argument that it's better for performance. Not when ground transport options only add 2-3hrs
