The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is proud to announce the publication of its updated Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan. This document formalizes WFDF’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and aligns the organization with the broader international sports community’s efforts to create a more sustainable world through sport.

The updated strategy builds upon WFDF’s long-standing dedication to sustainability, which began with its role as a founding member of Sport and Sustainability International in 2017 and the appointment of its first Sustainability Officer in the same year. WFDF also jointly developed its first Sustainability Strategy with the International Fistball Association in 2017 and has since joined the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (2020), signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – Sport for Climate Action Framework and Race To Zero (2020), and signed the Sport for Nature Framework (2024).
The updated strategy and action plan are guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, a shared blueprint adopted to address pressing global issues by 2030. WFDF recognizes the vital role sport can play in advancing these goals.
“The publication of our updated Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan marks a significant milestone for WFDF and the entire Flying Disc community,” said Robert “Nob” Rauch, WFDF President. “This document reflects our deep commitment to environmental and social responsibility. We believe that Flying Disc sports, with its low impact footprint with disciplines like Ultimate and Disc golf, and with their emphasis on Spirit of the Game and community, can be powerful tools for promoting sustainability and contributing to a healthier planet for future generations. We are excited to implement these actions and work with our member federations to make a tangible difference.”
The WFDF Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan outlines clear objectives and actionable steps that will guide the federation’s efforts in key areas, ensuring a holistic impact on the sport’s global footprint.
