According to CCTV5 program list (January 16, 2024), the 2024 European Cup will be held in Germany, which will be a historic event, not only because it is a grand event of European football, but also because it will become a model of climate protection. The European Football Federation and the German Football Association have jointly formulated a series of environmental protection measures aimed at reducing the carbon emissions of the event, improving the sustainability of the event, and establishing the social responsibility of the event.

According to the official statements of the European Football Federation and the German Football Association, the environmental protection measures for the 2024 European Cup include the following aspects:

• The event will use 100% renewable energy, including solar energy, wind energy and hydropower, to provide clean power for the operation of the event and the lighting of the venue.
• The event will achieve carbon neutrality, that is, offset all greenhouse gas emissions generated by the event through tree planting, energy conservation, emission reduction and other ways, so that the carbon footprint of the event is zero.
• The event will promote public transportation, encourage fans and teams to use trains, subways, buses, bicycles or walk to the venues, and reduce the use of private cars. The tickets of the event will be accompanied by free public transport tickets to facilitate the travel of fans.
• The event will implement green procurement, that is, in terms of material supply, catering services, surrounding goods and other aspects of the event, priority will be given to environmentally friendly, low-carbon, organic and fair trade products to reduce the resource consumption and waste generation of the event.
• The event will advocate green life, that is, through publicity, education, activities and other ways, to improve the environmental awareness and action of fans and players, so that they can enjoy football while also paying attention to and protecting the environment.

The European Football Federation and the German Football Association said that these environmental protection measures are the response and support to the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the cooperation and contribution to the German government and society. They hope that through the 2024 European Cup, Germany and Europe will show the world their leading position in environmental protection, set an example for other international events and sports organizations, and inject new impetus into global climate action.

The following is a comparison of some data of Euro 2024. It can be seen that this will be a large-scale and far-reaching event, as well as a green, low-carbon and sustainable event.
