SNOWSPORT CARBON HANDPRINT ADAPTATION PILOT PROJECT WITHIN EUROPE
SNOWSCAPE is a project led by Protect Our Winters Finland, with the mission to increase the carbon handprint of the European snow sports movement and provide a stronger role model for sustainability transformation.
By creating positive sustainability changes within snow sports organizations and offering them tools for effective communication, the project enhances the sustainability messaging efforts of snow sports and adds quality and diversity to existing initiatives.
This project is co-funded by EU.
WHAT & HOW?
- We co-create awareness-enhancing tools, content, new practices, as well as compelling change narratives and stories with key stakeholders of the snow sports movement. We will organize six workshops in spring 2024. Find out how to take part below!
- Together, we harness the jointly created resources to leverage the communication power of sports, sporting events, and role models in support of social and environmental change throughout society.
- We evaluate and disseminate the resources and knowledge created transnationally through existing sports and climate advocacy networks.
WHAT IS A CARBON HANDPRINT?
Carbon handprint refers to the climate benefit of a product or service, specifically its emission reduction potential. The project addresses the question: ”What comes next when we’re already carbon neutral?” Carbon handprint is tightly tied up with the term carbon footprint but instead of only focusing on what we can do, we aim to create solutions for accelerating larger change within snowsports and focus also on what we can make others do by our own actions.
”Together, we will define what carbon handprint work means for the snowsports community.”
WHO CAN TAKE PART IN SNOWSCAPE?
In the project, we aim to amplify the voices of key stakeholders in snowsports. Snowsport athletes, club representatives, event organizers, representatives of governing bodies, and others who believe their actions can influence the sustainability of snow sports are welcome to participate.
