World Cup, Water and Net Zero

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicked off this week (11 June), will span three countries, 16 cities and 104 matches.

It could become the most carbon-intensive World Cup in history, according to environmental analysts.

Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) believe the event could generate around nine million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in total emissions.

This is nearly double the historical average for tournaments between 2010 and 2022.
