| Abstract: | The governance sustainability of venues post Games is a complex response that requires the input and commitment from several levels of government, stakeholders and NGO’s. Due to the support of the Olympic movement 2020, the IOC will most certainly be in line with the objectives of the 2030 agenda for Olympic sustainable development. The “sustainability issue” had become a great challenge for the IOC as early as 1992, when the IOC worked with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and developed the “Agenda 21”, environmental sustainability guide- lines, to encourage sustainability among IOC member nations and sport governing bodies (United Nations Sustainable Development, 1992). The notion of sustainability has been highly recognized from this point on as very important and has been not only incorporated in the IOC agenda, but also embedded in the organization of Mega Sport Events discourse as a valuable concept (United Nations Sustainable Development, 1992). |
