Led by the Czech Olympic Committee, and co-financed by the Erasmus + Programme of the European Union, the ASAP project has for its mission to enable project partners to create, adopt and start implementing integrated sustainability strategies in their organisations, and/or improve the sustainability of their operations.

By translating existing recommendations, guidelines, and best practises into a practical hands-on approach, and by giving this approach a strategic framework, the project helps partner organisations integrate sustainability into the very core of their operations, into their purpose.

To do so, the three years-long project uses a mentor-mentee working method bringing together “sustainability-experienced” National Olympic Committees (Denmark, Finland, Germany) with “sustainability beginners” (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia). Roadmap for the creation of an integrated sustainability strategy will be created as a practical tool for any sport organisation.

WHO began when UN Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948 – a date that is now celebrated every year as World Health Day. WHO includes more than 7000 people from more than 150 countries working in 150 country offices, in 6 regional offices and at its headquarters in Geneva.

WHO's priority in the area of health systems is moving towards universal health coverage. WHO works with policy-makers, global health partners, civil society, academia and the private sector to help countries develop and implement sound national health plans. In addition, WHO helps countries to provide equitable, integrated, people-centred and affordable health services; facilitate access to affordable, safe and effective health technologies; and strengthen their health information systems and evidence-based health policies.

WHO recently signed an agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to jointly promote health through sport and physical activity.

In addition, WHO is working with the United Nations (UN) and FIFA to support the #BeActive campaign, launched on the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, and invite each and every one of us to stay #HealthyAtHome, while the whole world comes together to fight the COVID19 epidemic on a daily basis.

South Pole works with businesses and governments across the globe. They help realise deep decarbonisation pathways across industries, based on a thorough understanding of climate risks and opportunities in specific sectors, as well as the highest emission reduction standards.

South Pole purpose: Act today for a better tomorrow
Financing the goals of the Paris climate agreement calls for a fundamental shift in the global economy. South Pole success hinges on re-allocating capital at scale, unlocking substantial investments, being nimble and seizing opportunities.

South Pole vision: Climate action for all
The moral case for climate action is clear - failing to meet the climate and sustainable development challenge would push hundreds of millions of people into poverty, with devastating social and economic consequences globally. Moreover, millions of new green jobs are already being created through climate actions across sectors. Climate and human development are sides of the same coin. South Pole strives for a world where businesses, governments and communities make climate action the new normal.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change.

UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (197 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.

The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.

Sports organizations can display climate leadership by engaging together in the climate neutrality journey. They can achieve this by taking responsibility for their climate footprint, which in turn will incentivize climate action beyond the sports sector, and therefore help global ambition step-up in the face of the threat posed by climate change.

UN Climate Change invites sports organizations and their stakeholders to join a new climate action for sport movement. This initiative aims at supporting and guiding sports actors in achieving global climate change goals.

Uniting behind a set of principles, sports organizations and their communities have created an initiative by collaborating in order to position their sector on the path of the low carbon economy that global leaders agreed on in Paris: Sports for Climate Action.

This initiative is concretized by the creation of the Sport For Climate Action Framework.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) aimed at promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, the sciences, and culture.

UNESCO developed a series of initiatives and programmes dedicated to sport policies, physical education and physical activities.  These includes

• The Kazan Action Plan (click here for additional information)
• The Sport Education Partnership (SEP) Framework (click here for more information)
• The Youth and Sport Task Force (Click here for more information)

The Youth and Sport Task Force is another initiative of the UNESCO.  It represents creative, passionate and innovative young leaders across Asia and the Pacific who use sport as a tool for positive social change in their communities.

The youth are in control. They design their own programmes, determine their own priorities and collectively, decide on the strategic direction of the Task Force. UNESCO supports the Task Force by providing opportunities for the members to promote and enhance their work by connecting with each other and with regional and global opportunities for growth and capacity building.

All programmes represented by the Task Force are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We are cultivating a community of young change-makers who are already making a big impact, by youth, with youth, for youth.
