In the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the world’s largest sports event, “sustainability” is a key topic. It is expected that the 2020 Tokyo Games will be an “inspiration” to lead Japan and the world towards a sustainable society.

At the networking organization held by SUSPON (Sustainable Sport NGO and NPO Network) that was launched in 2016 by Japanese NGOs and NPOs with the same goals, not only were we able to develop policy recommendations through each theme the participating groups focused on, but we were also able to be the “main actors” ourselves.

At this symposium, along with announcing the results of the first year’s activities of SUSPON, we shared our issues concerning the realization of sustainability at the Tokyo Games in 2020 to interested companies and NGO/ NPO stakeholders, and we discussed solutions with our interest to collaborate.

We believe that it is essential for many people to be interested in this movement and to participate in various ways in order to build an excellent society beyond 2020.

Thank you very much for supporting SUSPON.
