Sport is emerging as a powerful force for progress, capable of transcending cultural and national divides to become a vehicle for inclusion, peace, equality and emancipation. Much more than a simple activity, it is an essential lever for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the United Nations' Agenda 2030. The Rendez-vous brought together experts in the field to demonstrate the impact of sport on the SDGs.
