Tokyo 2020 signs Letter of Intent with the United Nations promoting the contribution of sport to Sustainable Development

The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) and the United Nations have concluded a Letter of Intent (LOI) aimed at promoting the contribution of sport to sustainable development and supporting achievement of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) more specifically. The LOI was signed by Alison Smale, UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, and Toshiro Muto, Tokyo 2020 Chief Executive Officer, during a UN delegation visit led by Ms. Swale to Tokyo.

The two parties agreed to cooperate by promoting activities that will help raise awareness of the contribution of sport and of the Tokyo 2020 Games towards achieving specific SDGs, as well as drive a more global understanding of the SDGs amongst the Japanese population. Tokyo 2020 and the UN will work together to leverage the United Nation's own events and media platforms to increase the public's knowledge of the links between the SDGs, sports and sporting events among citizens of Japan and other countries.
