London, UK. Thursday 28 October 2021 – The ABB FIA #formulae World Championship will showcase elite sport’s role in achieving the Paris Agreement’s reduction targets at the #cop26 United Nations Climate Change Conference. As the only all-electric motorsport World Championship, #formulae creates a unique technological innovation environment for many of the world's leading #automotive manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover, DS, Mahindra, Porsche, Mercedes, Nissan and NIO to fast-track developments from #racing to commercial use on the road. Electric cars on the road today go further on every charge due to increases in energy efficiency, enhancements in battery range and advances in powertrain development achieved through technological developments in the first seven seasons of the ABB FIA #formulae World Championship. The Championship’s approach includes:
- Becoming the first motorsport series to achieve third-party ISO 20121 certification in 2016 – and today announcing successful recertification – alongside the likes of London 2012 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games; reinforcing our commitment to delivering world-class events whilst prioritising sustainable development through economic prosperity, social inclusivity and environmental protection
- Establishing #formulae as the world’s first sport to achieve a net zero carbon footprint since inception with a commitment to remain net zero carbon going forward
- Becoming the world’s first sport to join the Science Based Targets initiative and the Business Ambition Pledge for 1.5°C commitment, #formulae will further reduce its emissions by 45% by 2030
- Partnering with UNICEF’s Safe and Healthy Environment Fund to support three million children in climate resilience and create a sustainable, safe and clean environment
- Advancing sustainability in, and through, sports as a founding member and signatory of UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action Framework
- Partnering with the United Nations Environment Programme on its #BeatAirPolution campaign to advocate for clean air
- Phasing out single-use plastics from races saving the equivalent of over 300,000 330ml single-use plastic bottles from landfill
- In 2015, #formulae became the first motorsport to achieve a Three-Star Accreditation of the FIA Environmental Certification Framework, recognising the highest level of commitment to the environmental and sustainability goals set out by the FIA. This has been successfully renewed in 2018 and 2020, aligning with the FIA’s #PurposeDriven movement.
At #cop26, #formulae will be involved in a number of events discussing the vital role sport is playing in accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices, lifestyles and electric vehicle innovation including:
- ABB Time Panel Session (11:00 GMT, 2 November): Formula E CEO Jamie Reigle and sustainability director Julia Palle will join ABB chief communications & sustainability officer, Theodor Swedjemark; Ulrika Modéer, assistant secretary UNDP; and Selwin Hart, United Nations special adviser and assistant secretary-general for Climate Action, to discuss how the private sector will play a key role in bringing about a low-carbon society by reducing emissions in industry
