Sustainability at the Forefront

The 2025 Winter Military World Games will set new standards as the first-ever carbon-neutral games. Thanks to existing infrastructure, short transport routes, and the use of public transportation, CO2 emissions will be minimized, and unavoidable emissions will be offset. The Games will leave a lasting legacy for military sports in Switzerland. Alongside the promotion of elite sports, the event will also enable inclusion through parasports competitions for injured soldiers.
