Climate change is already affecting our lives… and football ⚽️ is no exception.

14 of the 16 #WorldCup2026 host stadiums already exceed safe-play thresholds for at least three major climate hazards, including extreme heat, unplayable rainfall and flooding.

The good news? The solutions already exist. Clean energy and climate resilience can protect our climate, strengthen economies and jobs, and safeguard the people, places and moments we love.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (197 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.
