The Organizing Committee of Pau Canoë Evénements is proud to announce that it has obtained the "Sustainable Development label", of the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF in french) at the GOLD level for the Pau stage of the ICF Canoë World Cup. Kayak Slalom 2022!!

We had obtained the silver level in 2021 and our objective was clear: To obtain gold in 2022! It's done ! Obtaining this label is not an end in itself but rather the start of a sustainability and eco-responsibility approach for our events!

Thanks to all the actors!

In 2021, a partnership between the ICF and Starboard was launched with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of competitions. Starboard will help the FIC to make events climate neutral. As a result, the carbon footprint will be offset by planting mangroves in Myanmar. This partnership continues in 2022, and in particular via the Pau World Cup.

From Friday August 26th to Sunday August 28th, during the competition, the public can enjoy numerous Sustainable Development activities !
