Every two years, the International Olympic Committee, in
collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme, hosts
a World Conference on Sport and the Environment.
In March 2009, the 8th World Conference on Sport and the
Environment was held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, hosted by the
Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games and the Province of British Columbia, and produced by
GLOBE Events.
Under the main theme Innovation and Inspiration - Harnessing
the Power of Sport for Change, it focused on two conference
tracks: Sport for Environmental Solutions and Sport
for Sustainable Living.
The conference brought together the worlds of sport and
environment to share knowledge and advance practices related to
sport and its relationship with the environment and communities.
Delegates to the conference were drawn from athletes, international
and national sport federations, national Olympic committees, event
organizers, government agencies, environmental non-government
organizations, academic interests, corporate sponsors and sport
industry representatives.
This conference provided an excellent opportunity to advance
best practices and new innovation involving sport for sustainable
development - an important discussion for the Olympic Movement and
for the world.
