Sustainable development and the Olympic Movement

Abstract

The article focuses on sports – a topic that has become increasingly important in the international context in recent years. The experience of implementation of the principles of sustainable development, accumulated within the framework of the Olympic movement, is considered. The novelty of this experience for Ukraine is emphasized, as well as the possibility of its use in the preparation and holding of other major sports and cultural events in order to maximize their opportunities for development in social, economic and environmental spheres.
