Deception UEFA with the planting of 600 thousand trees before European in 12 states that's their reason

Think of the children and their future. ”

It was this placard or slogan that the president of U n EFA used in the famous climate campaign when the European Football Association in 2019 launched a large-scale plan to plant 600 thousand trees to reduce the impact of pollution that would bring the European Championship finals this summer...

50,000 trees in each of the 12 host cities of the event that took place and saw Italy win.

But that didn't happen, and when DR Sports contacted them this summer, the message was:

“The project continued could not be pursued further in all host cities for reasons related to pandemic”

This is a joke. Why should David prevent people from going out and digging a hole in the ground and planting a tree?

Climate Professor Ole John Nielsen of the University of Copenhagen's Department of Kimies does not accept this explanation at all. He calls it a very bad excuse.

This is a joke. Why should the choir prevent people from going out and digging a hole in the ground and planting a tree? Perhaps it was one of the only things you can do during the pandemic, because it's an activity in nature”, says Ole John Nielsen.

DDR Sporten also asked U n EFA at the time, how the coronary prevents countries from planting trees, but the association had no further comment...

However, there was a light in the dark.

“We planted 100,000 trees in Baku and Amsterdam”, answered UEFA.

Better than nothing? Special. The truth? Actually, no.

50,000 trees were planted in Amsterdam, reports DR Sportsen from the Dutch Football Federation (KNVB). With a deal with UEFA, another model was found, where the Dutch filled with trees what is equal to four football fields.

One for every European Championship match in Amsterdam.

It reached 2,500 trees per area of about 10,000 trees totaled near the town of Haarlemmerier, the association writes.

The Dutch Football Federation has sent them DR Sportsen, next photo.

KNVB has planted areas corresponding to four soccer fields with trees. There are 2,500 trees in every area and so 10,000 trees in total and not 50,000 who are claimed differently from U. EFA.

On Baku's European Championship website, the Azerbaijan Football Association (AFFA) states the country's Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources has planted 50 600 trees. DR Sportsen was in vain contact with AFFA this summer to verify the information.

But then, 10,000 + 50 600 = 60,600 trees.

These aren't the 100,000 trees U claims. EFA, and only about ten percent of the original target...

Official U channels EFA was widely written on the project in its time. However, the union has not mentioned in any words that its green mission has been removed.

However, within the unions, she communicates outside.

DBU points out that message from U EFA was that the entire project was shut down in connection with the European Championship delay due to pandemic...

This is problematic when UEFA hides behind stability and at the same time deceives consumers by believing they are making a big difference in climate”, says Professor Ole John Nielsen.

The Athletic media has estimated that 24 European Championship nations have traveled a total of 118 to 156 kilometers in competition. Denmark's national football team began the European Championship in Park and then went to Amsterdam, Baku, and London, which provides 104km of personal travel for a group of 54.

The team that travelled farther away was Switzerland at 13,396 miles per person.

Besides planning to plant 600,000 trees, UEFA entered a partnership with South Pole consulting firm to compensate for about 405,000 tonnes of CO2 that fans and staff of U n EFAs would be released during the final competition...

The results of that work have not yet been published!
