The IHF Men’s World Championship 2023 pursues sustainability in four areas: Ecological, Social, Economic, and Leadership. Activities include, among others, reduced food waste, reuse of materials, joy of movement via Hand the Ball and Lilla VM, a sound economy for continued investments in youth handball, and training new handball leaders. We work centralised in our five host cities, via World Championship partners, and we now hope that spectators and fans want to help as well – for example by using public transport to and from games and eating and drinking more sustainably. The sustainability work during the Men’s World Championship 2023 will continue, with a view primarily to the Women’s World Championship 2023 in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. We hope that our sustainability efforts will inspire future organisers of international sports events – in Sweden as well as globally.
