Welcome to the United Nations
Leading athletes, influencers and innovators have been sharing their thoughts on the role that sport can play in building a better world for all, in UN-led online discussions held to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics. The videos touch upon a wide variety of themes, but all center around the fact that sport can bring about positive transformation in the world, from bringing hope to refugees, to encouraging climate action, and building societies where everyone can excel, regardless of their background.
These online discussions will resume between 25 and 27 August, timed with the Paralympic Games, and will include a number of Paralympians, sharing their experiences with leaders from governments, the business sector, and civil society.
