2026 World Cup's environmental impact

The report highlights that hosting the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will lead to a significant increase in carbon emissions, with the carbon footprint expected to double compared to the Qatar 2022 tournament. It is projected to reach between 8 and 9 megatons of carbon dioxide over the course of one month, comparable in annual emissions to a large city like Marseille. This is primarily due to reliance on civilian air travel to transport fans and teams across the three countries, as well as climate challenges and water resource shortages in multiple regions with harsh climatic conditions. These factors demand increased adaptation efforts and pose greater environmental and health risks.
