Report We have indeed seen the efforts of the IOC in this regard, of the IAAF, of the FIFA and many other sports organizations. They have made a difference to the lives their sports have touched. These organisations are leading the way in thinking outside the box. The big difference will be made when all of us, governments in developing countries included, accept that sport can be a powerful catalyst for improving the quality of life, and take the necessary Action to factor this in national policies and fund them accordingly. Only then shall we collectively deserve the term Champions of the Earth. In order to step this breakneck race to the bottom, we have to all put our shoulder to this particular wheel. I thank you for your patience in listening to me. <strong>7th</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Sport and the Environment International Cooperation and Development Dept.

Report 4.13. Closing ceremony 4.13.1. Closing speech by Mr Jingmin Liu Jointly organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), the Seventh <strong>World</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Sport and the Environment has accomplished its agenda and is going to be closed today. On behalf of the BOCOG, I would like to express my congratulations on the successful conference and sincere gratitude to all the participants. The <strong>World</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Sport and the Environment held in China for the first time has drawn a lot of attention from both home and abroad. The conference was well attended by more than 400 participants from the IOC, UNEP, related International Sports Federations (IFs), Organizing Committees of Turin, London and Vancouver, the <strong>World</strong> Health Organization (WHO), the <strong>World</strong> Bank, enterprise sponsors for Olympic Games, and experts and scholars in the international environment protection cycle, as well as from BOCOG and related government organs of China. The three-day event conducted three plenary meetings and eight forums, where the related topics were enthusiastically and productively discussed. The IOC President Mr. Jacques Rogge attended and addressed the opening ceremony cordially. This conference has fully demonstrated the great importance attached by the IOC and the international society to environment protection, and reflected the key position of environment protection in the evolvement of the Olympic Movement. The BOCOG President Mr. Liu Qi pointed out in his speech at the opening ceremony that the Chinese government had attached great importance to environment protection and sustainable development which served as a solid guarantee for implementing “Green Olympics”. He said that supported by governmental departments at various levels, the Beijing Municipality and BOCOG was vigorously implementing “Green Olympics”, and he also briefed us on the efforts and achievements made in respect of the construction of Olympic environment and city environment as well as the tasks of further protecting the city’s ecological environment and the Olympic environment. He promised that Beijing would energetically carry out the 11th Five-year Plan for Environment Protection and Ecological Construction, and improve the city’s ecological environment on a full scale; would promote environment protection to create a good ecological environment for the Olympic Games; would seize the opportunity of preparing for the Olympic Games to facilitate the combination of sport and environment protection and promote the harmonious social and economic development. He wished to intensify cooperation with you and link sport and environment protection more closely to make a new contribution to the full development of human beings and the harmony between man and nature. The conference achieved great success with the joint efforts made by all the parties attending the conference. Closely around the central theme of environment protection, the participants focused on the relationship of sports, environment and sustainable development, and further clarified the common responsibility on our shoulders. In the plenary meetings and forums, the participants thoroughly discussed topics such as “environmentally sustainable development in Olympic Games”, “Olympic Games and the environmental responsibility of enterprises” and “athletes in the sports as well as the environment protection”, etc. The IOC, the related IFs, enterprise sponsors and athletes gave unique insights, successful experiences and precious suggestions on the environmental legacy and the targets, projects and practice of environment protection in the sport games from their respective fields, which not only further enriched the connotation of sports, the environment and sustainable development, but also provided useful guidance for the organizers to implement the “Green Olympic” concept. In the past few days, the participants paid visits to the construction sites of Olympic venues in Beijing, reviewed the environmental facilities for the venues and debriefed the report on environment protection by Beijing municipal government and BOCOG. UNEP released its independent evaluation report on the environment protection of the Beijing Olympic Games, which acknowledged the environmental efforts made by BOCOG and pointed out the actions to be improved as well. We have paid full attention to the evaluation report, and will study it further and make improvements accordingly. We passed the Beijing Communiqué on Sport and the Environment with joint efforts made by all the parties attending the conference. The Beijing Communiqué sets the basic principles for us in terms of bringing the role and impact of sports into full play, reinforcing the publicity of environment protection, improving the awareness of environment protection, defining the plan of environment protection and taking the responsibility for environment protection. The Beijing Communiqué further clarifies the criteria of the sustainable development of Olympic Movement on the design and construction of venues, <strong>7th</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Sport and the Environment International Cooperation and Development Dept.
