In this episode, Steve chats to Professor Ed Sweeney, Dr Graeme Hayes and Dr Sotos Generalis about how green and sustainable huge sporting events are.

Professor Sweeney has reason to believe EURO 2020 will be the greenest sports event ever – but not necessarily for the reasons people may think. He gives a breakdown of the sustainability aspects of logistics, supply chains, and freight transport and people. He highlights how the last 15 months has taught his sector more than they would usually learn in 15 years down to the pandemic. He reckons Euro 2020 offers even more learning potential, with the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham next year.

Dr Graeme Hayes doubts all the sports authorities' green claims, and feels strongly that mega sporting events are “conning the world” with slogans like ‘going green’. Dr Hayes also discusses the need for community involvement for real sustainability.

Dr Generalis brings his extensive maths knowledge to the table, looking at the event with his ‘turbulence and angles’ approach, with plenty of mentions of work in Qatar for the FIFA World Cup in 2022.
