The Indian Premier League entered into a partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to raise environmental awareness during the Twenty20 event. "Through this partnership with UNEP, the IPL joins the ranks of global events, such as the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup, which are working with the UN Environment Programme to green their events," the IPL said in a statement. The partnership, which kicks off with the India Premier League that will be played over 45 days starting on March 12, is a first-of-a-kind initiative undertaken by any sporting body in India. In close cooperation with UNEP, the IPL will calculate its carbon footprint and compensate the emissions of some of its games. As the partnership develops, the IPL will compensate more and more of its games and green its operations, from waste management to energy efficiency and water. The UNEP will assist IPL in its long-term green vision of achieving climate neutrality, supporting the IPL's efforts to reduce emissions through the introduction of renewable energy and to compensate for emissions generated by the League.
