WHAT IS NATURE-BASED TRAINING?
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR SPORTS & FITNESS
Nature-Based Training (also known as Green Exercise) is an approach that can help the sports and physical activity sector transition into sustainable solutions with increased emphasis on improving community health and wellbeing. With an increasing body of scientific evidence published by governments worldwide and organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), new data is providing a body of evidence-based insights linking environment, lifestyle habits, exercise, and health.
TRANSITIONING TO NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS
The sports and physical activity sector, both public and private, is uniquely placed to support local communities, national and international agendas that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the following areas:
-
Improve community health and wellbeing
-
Support pro-environmental behaviour
-
Reduce carbon emissions and support environmental regeneration efforts
-
Increase participation of physical activity for a broad demographics
