The UCI has announced that 80 founding signatories have committed to its Climate🧸 💯Action Charter as the sport of professional cycling makes a first united step to reduce its environmental impact.
By signing the , federations, men’s and women’s WorldTour teams and major race organisers like ASO, Flanders Classics and RCS Sport have committed to measuring and reporting emissions to interཧnationally recognised standards. They will also take action to reduce waste and energy demands.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jumbo-Visma, Trek-Segafredo and EF Education-EasyPost are amongst the teams to sign-up, while the presence of ASO, Flanders Classics and RCS Sport means most of the sport’s biggest races are involved, including the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia.
Professional cycling promotes cycling but also creates a significant carbon footprint as race convoy’s travel long distances each day and riders and teams travel across Euro💙pe and theꦚ globe to compete. Races also generate significant waste.
A with the Tour of Lux🍸embourg found that 49% of emissions associated with the race came from teams, mainly travel to and from the race, while the biggest source of organiser em𒐪issions come from race vehicles and helicopters for television broadcasts.
The UCI's move comes after stag💛e 10 of this year’s Tour de France was blocked by a group of protestors demanding action against climate change, raising awareness in the peloto🎀n and the sport. Riders like Michael Woods have already started to reduce their own carbon footprint.
The UCI described its Climate Action Charter as “an important stepping-stone before sustainability obligations are formalised over the coming years in collaboration with the sport’s sta𒆙keholders, in line with the UCI’s Agenda 2030 and ongoing work to reform professional cycling and update UCI Regulations, contract requirements and organiser guides.”
The full are published on the UCI website.
“I am delighted that so many stakeholders have already committed to our UCI Climate Action Charter. Our aim when adopting this Charter was to unite cycling’s stakeholders to red✅uce our sport’s ꦜemissions and help slow climate change,” UCI President David Lappartient said.
“We need to work together, learn from each other and collaborate on solutions for the shared challenges we face to achie𓄧ve climate neutrality for our sport.”
“It is clear from the early response that our stakeholders share our concerns and desire to contribute to a better world, and I 🎃look forward to seeing the list of signatories lengthen.”
The U♍CI will help signatories meet the commitments through continued support and will provide the necessary tools and resources for initiative♑s in favour of the UCI’s sustainability strategy.
A more detailed status update will be publishꦓed in 2024 following an audit of signatories and analysis of the emissions reporting.
