G-ForSE stands for ‘Global Forum for Sport and Environment’. The title links ‘Sport and Environment’ and reflects our determination to make sports the principle field for promoting environmental awareness and action. The G-ForSE logo embodies the principles we strive for. The human figure is Atlas - a symbol of strength - carrying the world. The shield represents protection and is often used by sports clubs and federations. The colors match those of Global Sports Alliance with red representing recycling and green the natural environment.
G-ForSE is a platform for all those involved in sports - athletes, sports federations and organizations, sports goods manufacturers, facility owners, event producers and NPO’s- to consolidate roles and affirm action on solving global environmental problems through sports.
The G-ForSE website presents the latest environmental action in sports from around the world each week and the G-ForSE Archive is an extensive reference base of what the global sports community is doing to increase awareness and action among the over one billion sports enthusiasts worldwide. The Archive is divided into three sections:
- Action on 'sports facilities and the environment'
- Action on 'sports equipment and the environment'
- Action on 'sports events and the environment'.

Every two years G-ForSE, in cooperation with UNEP, holds a global forum, bringing together the representatives of the global sports community to assess progress and determine future goals.
G-ForSE also supports underprivileged children in developing countries through the Dream Camps project by providing environmental education and a chance at professional coaching in a variety of sports.
G-ForSE online provides an extensive database of environmental activities by sport stakeholders. It enables them and the general public to share and view information on the link between sport and the environment.
