In the biggest campaign of its kind in the history of soccer, players competing in the current Women's World Cup are taking climate action to offset their flight emissions. Led by Sofie Junge Pedersen, a player for Denmark, players use scientific methodology to calculate the carbon emission tonnage of their World Cup-related flights and then donate money to initiatives by WWF Australia, WWF New Zealand and DanChurchAid. The players hope to inspire fans and influence officials to consider carbon emissions when considering future tournament locations.
