Dieser Beitrag zum Projekt „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 „Mobility“ 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.

Mobility
Scope: This focus area refers to the mobility of people and goods associated with the Olympic Movement’s activities, at the local or global scale.
Why it is important: Significant numbers of people travel to and from sporting events throughout the world – as spectators, workforce, athletes, organisers, commercial partners and media. Associated with this people movement is a similarly large volume of freight – sport equipment, construction materials, merchandise, food, IT equipment, vehicles and general event logistics. These movements can have significant environmental impacts in the form of greenhouse gas emissions, other air pollutants or noise. For host communities there can be serious social impacts from disruption to residents and businesses through traffic congestion, restrictions on road use or parking and even overcrowding on public transport. Host communities, as well as athletes, can be affected by poor air quality due to road traffic in particular. Mobility also links closely to the theme of inclusion and accessibility, an important aspect to be considered when designing venues and planning events. At the same time, the Olympic Games and other major sporting events can offer significant opportunities to accelerate the introduction of smart mobility solutions at a city or regional level, through transport system upgrades, new technologies in vehicles, fuels and travel demand management, as well as using virtual meeting systems to reduce travel needs, and promoting active mobility. Travel will always be an important aspect of the sporting world; it brings people together from around the word and creates a common purpose and builds mutual understanding and respect. We believe, however, that it is ultimately important for those involved to be conscious of the social, economic and environmental impacts their presence can have on their destinations. This presents a major opportunity for the sporting world to promote sustainable tourism. (IOC 10.2017 S. 34).
