IOC ‘s Olympism 365 set to generate USD 200 million of investment towards building a better world through sport
The Olympism365 Summit: Sport for a Better World has concluded with 68 organisations confirming 45 commitments to using sport as a tool to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
These initiatives are projected to generate over USD 200 million in value over the next four years towards building a better world through sport.
The summit was convened by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), with over 300 participants from more than 100 organisations and 70 countries coming together in Lausanne, Switzerland.
In an emotional closing address, the IOC President-elect, Kirsty Coventry said: “It really takes a village and this is just the start of the ever-growing village that we are going to be expanding upon from these two days.”
“We heard the words ‘teamwork’ and ‘stronger together’. We heard collective actions. We spoke about being knocked down and getting back up again, being adaptive, being resilient and leaning on each other. These things embody sport. This is why we love it, this is why we live it and we breath it.”
