How green is the World Cup?

5 Live Sport: All About... - Un podcast de BBC Radio 5 Live

With just days to go until the Qatar World Cup begins, Steve Crossman is joined by Dr Madeleine Orr and guests to discuss how green the World Cup really is. Mike Berners-Lee, researcher and writer on carbon foot printing at Lancaster University has said it is "very likely the most emitting event in human history, outside of wars". We speak to Frank Huisingh, founder of Fossil Free Football on why this is a possibility. And Wycombe Wanderers footballer David Wheeler joins the show to speak about why he signed an open letter to FIFA asking it to scrap its claims of carbon neutrality and review its approach to environmentally 'clean' tournaments.
