Theme of the Championship - Nature

The fact that nature continues to be harmed by human activities also increasing threatens the life of all living creatures. The increasing use of fossil fuels destroys the balance of the ecosystem, causing global warming and becoming the biggest threat to all life on the planet. Various factors, such as insensitive use of natural resources, mismanagement of industrial, domestic, and agricultural waste, all cause the destruction of the balance of nature. For this reason, as a major event on the international sporting calendar, the Istanbul 2023 European Indoor Athletics Championships – which will be watched by millions of people around the world – is aiming to serve as a bridge between sports and nature with its theme of nature protection.
