The rapid deterioration of the global environment in recent years has gradually affected our lives in various ways. There is no exemption in the world of sport; already several skiing competitions have been cancelled due to a shortage of snow.
Athletics, in which human beings compete with their most basic skills of “running,” “jumping” and “throwing,” do not require any special environment. The IAAF World Championships in Athletics is a venue for determining the very best from among all the world’s humanity.
However, if the deterioration of the global environment goes on, some day in the near future we won’t even be able to practice athletics. That is the reason why we have decided to launch this project.
The IAAF Green Project is an IAAF initiative that reflects a commitment to find ways to contribute to the global environment through events such as the IAAF World Championships in Athletics. We hope this project will contribute in some way to a healthier earth, one that supports a future in which everyone can enjoy athletics. We believe the IAAF World Championships in Athletics should continue to be a venue for determining world champions not only from among a few who are blessed by their environment, but from among all the world’s humanity.
The IAAF Green Project, introduced for the first time in Osaka 2007 will continue on in the next Championships in Berlin and in the future Championships as well. We will work to ensure that our efforts become a valuable index for future sports events in Japan as well.
As the baton of hope for a healthier earth is passed on from Osaka to the world, and to future Japanese sporting events, we hope more than anything that the themes of this project will be taken up by everyone, and continued on into the future.
All of us from the IAAF and the Osaka 2007 representatives will keep on running to make this this project a success, and we will truly appreciate all of your support. Thank you.
