Various efforts and discussions related to the delivery of the Tokyo 2020 Games have been developing, and Tokyo 2020 has updated the Plan based on latest discussions almost once a year. 1 https://www.olympic.org/olympic-agenda-2020 2 https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/ 2 / 145 The following relevant documents have been prepared and published: ・ High level Sustainability Plan3 (January 2016) - Outlining the basic approach to ensuring sustainability in operations of the Tokyo 2020 Games - Indicating the overall direction of any points that may arise with regard to the examination of specific details to be included in the Plan ・ Sustainability Plan Version 14 (January 2017) - Specifying the importance of the concept of sustainability, the relationship with the Tokyo 2020 Games Vision, the sustainability approach for the Tokyo 2020 Games and the outline of the Plan - Outlining five main themes to be included in sustainability programme for the Tokyo 2020 Games - Discussing the background to the measures, the principles, strategies and goals, and the specific direction of the measures regarding each of the main themes Understanding and challenges regarding sustainability in society continue to change.

Supplementing to Version 1, Version 2: ・ Specifies contributions to SDGs as the significance of delivering sustainable Games, ・ Clarifies execution and monitoring of the Plan, and ・ Includes specific goals,targets and measures towards them regarding each of the main themes.

We will develop a progress report in spring of 2019, the year before the delivery of the Games, and pre-Games and post-Games reports in spring 2020 and winter of 2020/21 before and after the Games respectively. Although the Plan Version 2 has been completed, approaches related to the delivery of the Games and the Plan will be still further discussed. Additions and changes made in the Plan after the Plan Version 2 is completed will be incorporated in the reports, and the two reports planned to be developed prior to the Games will provide an update on sustainable Games operations that will be actually performed. The reports will appropriately present discussion and implementation results at the stage, and also experiences, insights and challenges gained and faced during the process to serve as a learning legacy after the Tokyo 2020 Games. The reports will be prepared by obtaining opinions from the Commission consisting of experts to effectively report impacts of the delivery of the Tokyo 2020 Games on sustainable development, referring to requirements for regular activity reports by the United Nations Global Compact, to which Tokyo 2020 intends to sign in summer 2018, and disclosures in universal and topic-specific standards in the GRI Standards. 4 / 145 Table of Contents Introduction 6 1.

Because Tokyo and Japan have transformed out of all recognition since the time of the 1964 Games and there are also new sustainability challenges for the 21st century, the significance of the delivery of the Games has also changed. Whereas the delivery of the Tokyo 1964 Games was aimed for development of Tokyo and Japan, the Tokyo 2020 Games would provide a wonderful momentum for a mature Tokyo to transform into an even more functional and attractive major city, and delivery of the Tokyo 2020 Games would afford an opportunity to demonstrate that the Host City, Tokyo, is working to become a highly matured city with vigour and magnanimity suitable for the 21st century. Furthermore, the Tokyo 2020 Games will embody Japan’s attitudes about a 21st-century sustainable society which humankind pursues, and actions Japan will take towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and express the intention and ability to lead global efforts towards a 21st-century sustainable society as an advanced country that has solved various challenges ahead of other countries. From 1964 to 2020 By 1959, when Tokyo was awarded the 1964 Olympic Games, first to be held in Asia, the population of Tokyo had risen dramatically to 9,350,000 amid rapid economic growth. The fast economic growth and increasing population caused urban problems such as traffic congestion due to rapidly increasing vehicles and overcrowding on public transport at rush hour. The demand for secure supply of good-quality drinking water and waste disposal was also rising. As well as preparations of venues for the 1964 Games and other facilities directly necessary for the delivery of the Games, related programmes to ensure smooth operations of the Games and projects to develop social infrastructure necessary for the growing international city and country were undertaken. For example, construction of streets, distribution of water supply and sanitation, and scheduled waste collection using plastic rubbish bins were facilitated. Construction of the Metropolitan Expressway and the Tokaido Shinkansen Line was accelerated, and they became important legacies that served as foundations for Japan’s further economic growth. Initiatives based on the participation of the general public, such as the National Olympic Movement and the Metropolitan Beautification Campaign, were also implemented. In addition, the delivery of the Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games provided impetus for establishment of an umbrella organisation to manage dissemination and promotion of sports for people with disability in Japan, which later formed JPSA/JPC.

  • The IPC As a Change-Maker? Insights from the Institutional Theory
    The IPC as a change-maker? Insights from the institutional theory Simon Gérard Faculty of Business and Law, Coventry University, United Kingdom Faculté des Sciences de la Motricité, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Thierry Zintz Faculté des Sciences de la Motricité Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Abstract The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) increasingly becomes a key actor in the sport movement, yet its organizational development remains under-researched. This paper explores how the IPC, since its creation in 1989, emerged from the margins of the “able-bodied” sport movement and developed new sport opportunities for para-athletes. To do so, the literature in institutional entrepreneurship is investigated as well as the two concepts of institutional boundaries and practices. Methodologically, the research is based on content analysis of archival records. The study reveals two main stages during which the IPC significantly transformed the legitimated boundaries and practices within the sport movement. Based on this analysis, some of the key institutional challenges the IPC is currently facing are highlighted and discussed. Keywords Institutional change, Institutional work, Power, Paralympic Movement, Processual analysis. Gérard, S. & Zintz, T. (2017). The IPC as a change-maker? Insights from the institutional theory. Diagoras: International Academic Journal on Olympic Studies, 1, 95–116. Retrieved from http://diagorasjournal. com/index.php/diagoras/article/view/9 95 Introduction The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement and has underwent tremendous organizational changes since its creation in 1989 (Bailey, 2008; Brittain, 2010; Howe, 2008). The IPC’s goal is to promote sport for para-athletes at the world-wide level with the ultimate aspiration of making “for a more inclusive society for people with an impairment through para-sports” (IPC, 2017).
