In order to achieve a carbon-neutral tournament, the SC has estimated the amount of carbon emissions from hosting the World Cup and raised awareness of reducing emissions with both local and regional stakeholders. Emissions have been reduced during the construction of World Cup infrastructure through a number of means, including the design and construction phases, which have reduced energy and water consumption, prioritised recycling and efficiently dealt with waste.
In addition, every Qatar 2022 stadium is mandated to achieve a four-star rating under the Global Sustainability Assessment System – which, among other things, requires a project to reduce energy and water consumption by 30 percent compared to international standards.
Helping Qatar achieve carbon-neutral will be the tournament’s small footprint. The compact nature of the event – with all the stadiums close together and no internal flights required for fans and players – will significantly limit the carbon footprint. In addition, Qatar’s green public transport network, including the Doha Metro and electric buses, will support sustainability goals.
