In the blog last week we talked about the importance of carbon emissions measurement. In follow up this week in our first first guest blog, we hand over to the experts from Carbon Happy World to provide their own view on the exercise that we went through together. Ben Hardy-Jones provides the Dubai Sustainability Spotlight, detailing his experience with Ethara at the Formula 1 Etihad Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Sport has a unique power in creating change because of the passion that humans have for their favourite teams and athletes. This is particularly true for cricket, which is impacted by climate change more than any other outdoor sport. Recently, climate has been a topic of discussion in the cricket press as players at the men’s World Cup have detailed the challenges they faced in performance owing to environmental factors. We want to be part of the solution, not an addition to the problem.
Here’s wishing you a very warm welcome to the first of what will become a fortnightly blog documenting our sustainability journey at the Desert Vipers. We hope that by being transparent about our objectives and our progress we can help others in sport who share similar goals, and perhaps inspire those who do not yet have a formal sustainability strategy to start on their own journeys
