Prompted by Agenda 21, a world-wide programme directed by the United Nations, many countries have agreed to adopt policies aimed at sustainable development. In recent years, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has also focused on environmental protection and sustainable development, leading to the adoption of the Olympic Movement’s Agenda 21. The section on “Sport and the Environment” states that energy saving in sports facilities is a priority issue.

The processes and milestones which led to the historic adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 were followed by the Sport for Development and Peace community with strong interest and a commitment to continue using sport as a unique tool to support this new global plan of action. As a result of joint efforts, particularly including UN Member States’ support to recognize the contribution of sport to the SDGs, Heads of State and Government and High Representatives declared in the Political Declaration for the new Agenda: "Sport is also an important enabler of sustainable development. We recognize the grow- ing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect and the contributions it makes to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals and communities as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives".
