Yibutse Green Action NPO is embarking on an exciting journey of tackling climate change through sport.

Being a local NPO with a global view, Yibutse Green Action is aware of the increasing acknowledgement of the connection between sport and climate change as sport both affects and is affected by this crisis.

We have started out with football and netball in our rural area of Gangankhulu in Maphalaleni and we are on a mission to build partnerships with sporting bodies and corporate entities to roll out impactful projects that use sport as a vehicle for positive climate action.

Here’s why:

*Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time. Sport, particularly football, plays an important role as part of the solution.

*Sport is a key social platform that can reach and influence thousands of people and raise awareness on climate change, promote positive climate action and a paradigm shift of the mind regarding environmental stewardship, and champion sustainable behaviours.
