United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released a green performance report on Tuesday, portraying the performance of South Africa during World Cup 2010. The data would be of great help to Brazil as the two mega sports events, namely - World Cup 2014 and Summer Olympics 2016, are going to be held in the country. According to the data, the event proved to be less hazardous, environmental wise, than projected. UNEP expects that same measures should be taken so as to protect environment during the sports event to be held in Brazil.
