International Day of Sport for Development and Peace

Securing a Sustainable and Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport

6 April 2022 is International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP). The IDSDP which takes place annually on 6 April, presents an opportunity to recognise the positive role sport and physical activity play in communities and in people’s lives across the globe.

In recognition of sport’s broad influence, the global theme of IDSDP 2022 is, Securing a Sustainable and Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport, which creates an opportunity for the Day’s celebrations to promote the use of sport as a tool to advance human rights and sustainable development. Under this theme, UN Headquarters in New York will recognise the role of sport in addressing the climate crisis and will highlight actions to lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate against climate change.
