Скачать или смотреть SS 2020 - Policy Dialogues - Major Sporting Events - The Crossroads of Security and Legacy

This policy dialogue will provide a high-level reflection on the geopolitical relevance of major sporting events and how the preparation of such events today requires taking into account major global challenges such as those associated with environmental issues, pandemics, and international security matters.

While observing increases in systemic threats, compared to the traditional man-made threats, major sporting events remain a unique opportunity to promote a positive change in the international landscape, creating legacies in host nations and the overall international community. With this in mind, and while learning from the experiences and viewpoints of the panelists, this ‘Policy Dialogue’ aims at raising awareness among policy-makers regarding the need to approach the preparation of major sporting events from a holistic approach while ensuring proper international cooperation in order.
