A global movement to promote healthier lives
The collaboration between the IOC, WHO and PATH will support the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030, which sets out key policy actions applicable to all countries to promote physical activity and achieve the target of a 15% relative reduction in the global prevalence of physical inactivity by 2030.
The initiative is part of the IOC’s broader effort to promote health through sport, anchored in its Olympism365 strategy. Launched as part of Olympic Agenda 2020+5, the Olympism365 strategy aims to strengthen the role of sport as a key enabler of the SDGs. Through this strategy, the IOC is currently supporting over 550 social impact initiatives in 176 countries, improving health, education, livelihoods and inclusion.
A key activation to promote health and physical activity is the Let’s Move campaign, designed in collaboration with WHO. Over the past two years, more than 30 million people have taken part in physical activity through the campaign, with over 1,000 athletes involved.
Fostering healthier communities is one of the topics that will be discussed at the Olympism365 Summit: Sport for a Better World, which will take place from 3 to 5 June 2025 in Lausanne, Switzerland. It will provide a unique networking platform to enhance collaboration, co-investment and joint action.
The event will bring together leaders from across the Olympic Movement, United Nations agencies, development and financing institutions, civil society, for-purpose business and IOC Young Leaders who are working together to advance the UN SDGs through sport. Among them is Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO’s Director General, who will share insights on the contribution of sport and physical activity to preventing NCDs and other global health challenges.
