MKS Puszcza Niepołomice celebrates #MoreThanFootball Action Weeks through sustainable initiative

On the first day of spring, which is also International Day of Forests, MKS Puszcza Niepołomice together with the Niepołomice Forestry District planted 11,000 trees in the Niepołomice Forest.

The entire club’s family participated in the tree planting action – the first team players led by the coach, the U15 team from our Academy, club employees, and fans along with representatives of the Puszcza23 Association. On the top of that, the action was supported by the sports class from the John Paul II High School Complex in Niepołomice.

Earlier this week, Puszcza signed a partnership agreement with a local Forest Organisation. It is great to see EFDN members becoming more aware of the importance of environmental awareness.

FOOTBALL FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE

Welcome to Football for Climate Justice, a groundbreaking project that brings together European football clubs, associations, and researchers to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our time: the climate crisis.

Football has the power to inspire millions of people around the world, and with that comes a responsibility to use that influence for good. That’s why we’re harnessing the passion and resources of the football community to drive positive change in the fight against climate change.

Our mission is to create practical solutions that reduce the carbon footprint of football while also improving the lives of fans and their local communities. We’re collaborating with leading researchers to identify the most effective ways to reduce emissions from football operations, while also exploring innovative ways to use football as a tool for social and environmental progress.

Through Football for Climate Justice, we’re building a powerful network of football clubs and associations committed to making a difference, and we invite you to join us. Whether you’re a fan, player, coach, or administrator, your support can help drive the change we need to protect our planet for future generations. Together, we can make a real difference in the fight against climate change.
