Climate changes are accelerating, and our actions in the next five years will likely determine the state of the planet we hand over to the next generation.

The sustainability hierarchy
What are the strategic questions that need to be raised when planning sustainable sports and leisure life facilities?
The foundation has adopted two key principles from the “Reduction Roadmap” which aims at the targets set in the Paris Agreement. 
The principles are “reduction” and “optimisation” which the foundation has translated into a “hierarchy” for the development of innovative leisure facilities. The hierarchy sets the standards and direction for the foundation’s financial contributions and aims to stimulate sustainable development in the sector.
Oliver Vanges extensive experience in the field ranges from the development of innovative sports halls and outdoor active areas to new approaches to sustainable leisure facilities. 
Oliver also has a wide network in European and global arenas for community sports facilities and often represents the foundation in these forums.

Street Mekka Viborg
Tue Foged explains how an old disused windmill factory is transformned into a prize winning architectural project with enormous local impact on a low budget. 
When asked: Can we upcycle an old factory into a culturehouse for streetsport?
He answers:  “No one can adhere to the Paris Agreement alone. But together, we can – and the industry already has the solutions. EFFEKT’s upcycling of an old factory into a prize winning culturehouse for streetsport with enormous local impact on a low budget, shows how sustainability on many levels can go hand in hand. From careful transformation to low CO2 footprint to social sustainability.”

Tue Foged is an architect, creative director and cofounder of the Copenhagen-based architecture studio EFFEKT. He has extensive experience with innovative and creative design solutions, both within strategic planning and masterplans as well as architectural and landscape projects. A common denominator for Tue’s design management is a high level of empathy and understanding of the site as well as a high attention to detail. Tue has strong competencies within developing architectural recreational destinations, including the Camp Adventure Tower (2019), Hamaren Activity Park (2021), Vejle Viewpoints (2019), GAME Streetmekka Viborg (2018) and the Sculpture Garden in Tønder (2020).
