Sport, Health, Environment

Journal n°28, by the Think tank Sport and Citizenship

Adapting to a changing world- it sounds like a slogan, but it sums up the challenge facing the world of sport today. With longer life spans, more leisure time, energy transition, towns spreading outwards, new technologies and so on, our societies are already experiencing the impact of certain trends on our daily life and this means that all the stakeholders, both public and private, need to imagine the sport of tomorrow with a new eye.

This forward-looking vision will have to tackle the questions of health and the environment. These two notions, which we have decided to look at together in the special focus, redefine how we practise; how we look at and how we use sport.

When people who do sport are asked about their motives, one of the reasons most often given is health and pursuit of well-being. It is a thriving market, with new things happening every day. As levels of physical activity are still well below WHO recommendations, promoting sport-health is also a major issue for governments and a potential source of development for the sport movement.

A healthy body on a healthy planet. Even if most sports and physical activities take place in the natural environment, it is obviously not only up to the sport sector to protect it.

Sport, like any other sphere of activity must take its place in this debate and adapt the way it works, its organisation and its activities to this global challenge.
