Sustainability during WYD
WYD Lisbon 2023 will be all the more sustainable when the last of the registered pilgrims can contribute to it.
Carbon Footprint
Discover which will be your carbon footprint during the World Youth Day.
We want to be the most sustainable World Youth Day yet. We are counting on you to help us take care of our common home!
Install the WYD Lisbon 2023 App and make a daily record of your habits.
You can answer a survey every day that will be available on the "Lisboa 2023" App, which will indicate your carbon footprint. This will also be an opportunity to reflect on new lifestyles that can help care for the creation.
During the week of the WYD Lisbon 2023 we will help you reduce this amount with measures that help the planet.
Waste separation
Do you know how recycling is done in Portugal?
By separating your waste, you are contributing to a more sustainable planet. We are counting on you!
Water points
During WYD Lisbon 2023, use the water fountains (water supply points) throughout the city to fill up your reusable bottle. This way you will minimize water waste and reduce the consumption of single-use plastic packaging.
Find the available water points on the interactive map accessible through our website and the official App.
Worldwide Tree Plantation
With the support of Global Tree Initiative, the WYD Lisbon 2023 will offset part of the environmental footprint generated by all the activities that are involved with its organization. The WYD Lisbon 2023 will not end in Lisbon, there is still a long way to run! Mobilize your group for a tree plantation in your locality; gather pilgrims, family and friends for this moment; call associations and local government to collaborate.
How can you participate? It’s very simple!
Consult here the Tree Planting Guide proposed by the Global Tree Initiative and follow the steps indicated here to dedicate the tree(s) planted. With your help we can actually offset part of the impact of WYD Lisbon 2023!
