Green Sports Alliance

The Green Sports Alliance leverages the cultural and market influence of sports and entertainment to promote healthy, sustainable communities where we live, work, and play.

LEAD SUSTAINABILITY PARTNER

As Protect Where We Play’s Lead Sustainability Partner, the Green Sports Alliance connects the initiative with the sports teams and venues within our membership. Whether we live on the coast or not, we all depend on a healthy ocean. The Alliance wants to help make sure the sports industry steps up to the challenge of ocean health.

Additionally, Ocean Conservancy is the Green Sports Alliance’s Lead Ocean Health Partner and will bring Protect Where We Play to our events and Summit in 2025.

The ocean is
truly
awesome. But it is not invincible.

100% of life on our blue planet is supported by the ocean.

50% of the world’s oxygen is produced by the ocean.

90% of the excess heat from climate change is absorbed by the ocean.

Millions of unique species have their habitats and ecosystems provided by the ocean.

"FROM THE BEACH TO THE MOUNTAINS, AND THE GRIDIRON TO THE FAIRWAY, THE FUTURE OF THE SPORTS WE ALL LOVE DEPENDS ON THE HEALTH OF OUR OCEAN."
