United Nations Action Plan on Sport 2018

Following the conclusion of the post-2015 development agenda process and the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, this Action Plan intends to serve the sport for development and peace community in its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, placing sport in its role as an important enabler of sustainable development. It combines principles from previous editions of the Action Plan with new elements reflecting key developments in sport and related fields. In line with the reporting cycle on sport for development and peace, the Action Plan is intended to cover two years but to be applicable in the longer term. With a view to providing a global road map relevant to all stakeholders, this updated Action Plan adopts a universal perspective in defining four common lines of action for further joint efforts towards maximizing the contribution of sport to sustainable development and peace. The main purpose is to encourage all parties, including States, the United Nations system, civil society and businesses, to achieve greater implementation using sport as a tool for sustainable development and peace.
