Taipei, April 25, 2025: The Sports and Environment Committee of the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee promoted environmental sustainability by setting up a promotional booth at two large-scale sports events: the National High School Games and National Intercollegiate Athletic Games held from April 19-24 and April 27-May 2 in Tainan.
The booths were an effective way of raising awareness among young participants regarding climate change and sustainable development.
“Encouraging the development of energy-saving and carbon-reducing habits in daily life is even more crucial,” the CTOC said in a statement.
“If athletes and students can practice these habits in their daily routines, they can bring the concept of sustainability to a wider community, forming a positive force.”
The promotional booth included a quiz, which attracted many young athletes and coaches to participate together and interact.
“It is not only about knowledge transfer but also the establishment of concepts and the cultivation of habits, which is vital for the long-term promotion of net-zero carbon emissions,” CTOC added.
“Overall, incorporating energy-saving and carbon-reducing environmental measures into sports events, teaching the use of recyclable or biodegradable tableware, setting up recycling stations, encouraging public transportation, reducing energy consumption and other practical actions can enable participants to more concretely understand the meaning of sustainable development.
“It is believed that the booth promotional activities can effectively allow participants to practice sustainable environmental protection for net-zero carbon emissions through sports.”
