FC St. Pauli Supports Hamburg’s Future Decision for Climate Justice
In a powerful step toward climate justice, FC St. Pauli has thrown its support behind the Hamburger Zukunftsentscheid (Hamburg Future Decision), an initiative calling for comprehensive climate protection measures in Hamburg.
The Hamburger Zukunftsentscheid aims to bring about a referendum that will hold Hamburg accountable to ambitious climate goals, especially concerning renewable energy and emission reductions. For FC St. Pauli, supporting this cause aligns with their mission to inspire positive change within the community. By mobilizing fans and using their platform to spread awareness, the club empowers the local community to push for policies that address climate issues at their roots.
FC St. Pauli’s support goes beyond “simple” endorsement: it’s a call to action for fans to participate in the initiative, bringing the voices of the community to the forefront of climate justice efforts. This backing resonates with fans, many of whom want to see their club take a stand on environmental matters.
The German Club is no stranger to environmental initiatives: in recent years, the club has taken several impactful steps toward sustainability. They banned plastic at their Millerntor Stadium, a move aimed at reducing plastic pollution. Additionally, FC St. Pauli became the first professional football club to publish a Gemeinwohl-Bilanz (Common Good Balance Sheet), which assesses their social and environmental impact. Initiatives like these reflect FC St. Pauli’s deep-rooted commitment to combining social justice with environmental consciousness, setting a strong example for other clubs.
In aligning themselves with the Hamburger Zukunftsentscheid, FC St. Pauli sets (once again) an example for other clubs, showing that the sports world can contribute meaningfully to climate action. With their support, FC St. Pauli not only stands up for climate justice but also reinforces the power of football to bring communities together for a sustainable future.
