Dieser Beitrag zum Projekt „Nahsicht 042: Nahsicht 042: Sustainabitiy Greenwashing beim IOC" (siehe URL: https://www.sai-lab.de/index.php/de/projekte/53-sdg-17-nahsicht/4264) greift die Darstellung des IOC zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung unter dem Titel „Infrastructure and natural sites“ auf.

Im Projekt, siehe oben, soll das Bekenntnis zur Agenda 2030 der Vereinten Nationen, die daraus angesprochenen Ziele der Nachhaltigkeit, die adressierten Vorgaben für nachhaltige Entwicklung, der aufgeführte nachweisbare Beitrag zu einem Indikator für nachhaltige Entwicklung, oder eine sonstige Haltungen zu speziellen Methoden und Prinzipien für die Umsetzung von nachhaltige Entwicklung, ebenso vorgestellte Merkmale für die nachvollziehbare Förderung und Unterstützung in Berichten, untersucht, bearbeitet, beurteilt und vorgestellt werden.

„Infrastructure and natural sites:
Scope: This focus area refers to the development and operation of indoor and outdoor sites wherever sport activities take place, including support and administrative infrastructure such as non-competition venues at the Olympic Games and offices of the Olympic Movement’s organisations.
Why it is important: From a global perspective, there are many examples where innovative design and construction of sport facilities and related infrastructure have showcased sustainable development and provided significant benefits for local communities and the natural environment. For example, “green stadiums” and sport-led urban regeneration schemes have been at the forefront of sustainable sport for several years. Nevertheless, the sustainability of large construction projects for sport infrastructure has also frequently been questioned on account of over-sized venues being built without having a viable, long-term use, or because of negative impacts on natural and cultural heritage, or local communities. This may have been through inappropriate development, displacement of people, direct disturbance of threatened species and sensitive ecosystems, or pollution. Mountain ecosystems used by winter sports, as well as wetlands or marine ecosystems used by water-based sports, are particularly vulnerable. This is not a problem unique to the Olympic Games and in fact relates to all places where sports take place or where facilities are being built, including the IOC’s own new headquarters building in Lausanne. We believe that the design, construction and operation of all sports facilities must be relevant and bring value to the communities they serve, prior to, during and after the event. This means that sports facilities should have a minimal environmental footprint over their lifecycle through saving natural resources and energy, eliminating waste, avoiding harmful substances, and protecting local ecosystems. There should also be emphasis on maximising long-term use and eventual reuse or repurposing of facilities. Besides infrastructure, the practice of sport in everyday life is highly dependent on the availability of natural resources such as clean air, clean water and undeveloped land, as well as healthy ecosystems such as green urban areas, mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, lakes and oceans. We recognise the need to protect these natural resources, to restore ecosystems damaged by human activities, to integrate the value of ecosystem services in decision-making and to halt the global loss of biodiversity. Equally it is essential for sport to be sensitive to cultural heritage; from archaeological and built heritage to impacts on indigenous communities, sacred sites and monuments. Culturally significant sites can provide attractive backdrops and context for sporting activities, and should be respected and safeguarded.“ (IOC 10.2017 S. 32 )
