Goal 09
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation
To achieve sustainable development and community empowerment, investment in sustainable and resilient infrastructure is essential. Goal 9 affirms the need for investment in infrastructure and the importance of technological innovation in order to achieve sustainable growth.
How can sport address this issue ?
By adopting sustainable, inclusive policies with a strong legacy component, the sports industry and the organisers of major international sports events, such as World Cups and the Olympic Games, can contribute to the achievement of Goal 9 of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Through the building or renovation of innovative and resilient infrastructure (such as transport, energy, and information and communication technologies), the empowerment of communities through capacity-building, and the creation of decent jobs, sport can contribute to the sustainability of society and its economic, social and environmental development.
