Just recently, it published its Sustainability Strategy in which it addresses the responsibility of all stakeholders involved in the Olympic Movement and outlines a global sustainability strategy. This paper traces the development of the IOC ́s environment policy by analysing the IOC Session protocols. Thereby, it aims to link the aspect of environment to the Winter Olympic Games in Albertville in 1992 and in Lillehammer in 1994. It is argued the IOC approach the topic of concerning for the environment more actively due to the environmental disaster of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games. As a result, and with support from the Lillehammer Olympic Organising Committee, it then established a global environment policy for the Olympic Movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport has the potential to be a powerful platform for positive change. This is the first textbook to introduce the fundamentals of sport and sustainable development, examining how sport can be made more sustainable in terms of its social and environmental impact, and how sport can achieve more comprehensive social and ecological objectives. Introducing key theory, and looking at how sustainability has been embedded in real-world organizations, projects, and developments, the book draws on a range of multidisciplinary perspectives including sport business and management, development studies, environmental studies, sociology, psychology, and political science. Every chapter includes international viewpoints from the voices of professionals who have been successful in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) in and through their work. As pressure grows on sport, business, and wider society to put sustainability and social and environmental responsibility at the center of their operations, the themes and topics examined in this book become ever more important. This is essential reading for any course on sport and sustainable development, and important background reading for any course in sport management, sport development, event studies, environment and society, business and the environment, or social responsibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were held in Singapore in 2010 and the first winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in 2012. The IOC hopes that the YOG will encourage young people to be more active and that they will bring the Olympic movement closer to its original founding values. This is the first book to be published on the Youth Olympic Games. It critically examines the origins of the Games and the motives of the Games organisers, as well as the organisation and management of the Games and their wider impact and significance. The first part of the book discusses the relationship between the YOG and the ideology of Olympism, in the context of broader developments in youth sport competitions. The second part investigates a wide range of managerial aspects including the bidding process, finance, the prominent role of young people on the organising committees and as volunteers, the role of media and sponsors, and the distinctive competition structure. The final part of the book assesses the current and likely future impact of the YOG on the host cities and countries, the IOC and on national youth sport policies. The Youth Olympic Games is essential reading for any researcher, advanced student or policy maker with an interest in Olympic Studies, sports development, sport policy, youth sport or event management.
Book Synopsis A Sustainable Olympic Games by : Holly Tokar
Download or read book A Sustainable Olympic Games written by Holly Tokar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the idea of systemic change to Olympic site selection. Divided into three sections, it argues that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) should apply the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) framework to evaluate alternatives to the traditional bidding system, such as permanent locations. First, this paper presents background information about the Games, including history about environmental awareness within the Olympic Movement, the current system of Olympic site selection, and the environmental legacies of recent Games. Second, this paper discusses why the IOC should consider systemic change to Olympic site selection. Finally, this paper recommends applying the NEPA framework to analyze alternative structures. It describes the purpose served by a NEPA-style analysis and begins to describe what the analysis might look like.
Book Synopsis Owning the Olympics by : Monroe Price
Download or read book Owning the Olympics written by Monroe Price and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-12-10 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A major contribution to the study of global events in times of global media. Owning the Olympics tests the possibilities and limits of the concept of 'media events' by analyzing the mega-event of the information age: the Beijing Olympics. . . . A good read from cover to cover." —Guobin Yang, Associate Professor, Asian/Middle Eastern Cultures & Sociology, Barnard College, Columbia University From the moment they were announced, the Beijing Games were a major media event and the focus of intense scrutiny and speculation. In contrast to earlier such events, however, the Beijing Games are also unfolding in a newly volatile global media environment that is no longer monopolized by broadcast media. The dramatic expansion of media outlets and the growth of mobile communications technology have changed the nature of media events, making it significantly more difficult to regulate them or control their meaning. This volatility is reflected in the multiple, well-publicized controversies characterizing the run-up to Beijing 2008. According to many Western commentators, the People's Republic of China seized the Olympics as an opportunity to reinvent itself as the "New China"---a global leader in economics, technology, and environmental issues, with an improving human-rights record. But China's maneuverings have also been hotly contested by diverse global voices, including prominent human-rights advocates, all seeking to displace the official story of the Games. Bringing together a distinguished group of scholars from Chinese studies, human rights, media studies, law, and other fields, Owning the Olympics reveals how multiple entities---including the Chinese Communist Party itself---seek to influence and control the narratives through which the Beijing Games will be understood. digitalculturebooks is an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.
