Resilience and Sustainability in Soccer

April 21, 12 - 1 pm

With the FIFA World Cup 2026™ coming to Miami this summer, the University of Miami Office of Sustainability wants to invite you to reflect on the progress made by the soccer industry on climate resilience and sustainability. Sports venues have been mitigating their impacts on natural resources.  In many instances, soccer stadiums have become a tool to adapt to a changing climate with more stresses on water resources, more natural disasters and extreme conditions, especially in coastal regions like South-East Florida. Join us and learn from a fantastic panel of experts moderated by Jennifer Roche - Director of Community & Legacy for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Miami Host Committee: Kash Siddiqi - Football for Peace; Jenna DiPaolo - Ocean Conservancy / Protect Where We Play; Dr. Todd Crowl – Florida International University (Click here for bios). 
The Virtual Panel will be on Zoom.
