Sustainability through Sport: Implementing the Olympic Movement’s Agenda 21

This document identifies the milestones achieved since 1992 in using sport as a catalyst for promoting positive action and changing attitudes. The Olympic Movement (OM) is steadfast in applying the Olympic ideal of excellence in its drive for sustainability of the environmental, social and economic agenda. The OM also works to facilitate peace by bringing people together in an environment that celebrates human achievement. By promoting peace, the OM lays the ground for a better, more sustainable future by creating the environment in which sustainable development can take place. This publication sets out the sum of developments made since the original Rio summit and makes a broad assessment of sustainable development as a whole. Besides looking back, it also casts a look forward to determine the steps that need to be made to involve future generations – today’s youth – in the process of working towards greater sustainability.
