Outline of Final Research Achievements

Examining the sustainability concept announced by the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games reveals that the concept of sustainability today goes beyond just environmental aspects, such as minimizing environmental costs, coexisting with nature, and spreading awareness about the environment; its meaning has expanded to considering human rights and work environments and supply chain management. The scrutiny of the world on the Olympics is sure to only become stricter in the future. To make the Olympic Games sustainable well into the future, it will without a doubt be necessary not only to raise worldwide awareness of the necessity of a healthy environment, but to also consider and launch initiatives to solve environmental issues that include social issues within their scope.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

環境保全は終わりのない活動と言われるほど、将来にわたって気を長く持ち、忍耐力、継続力の必要な活動ゆえに、その成果がどこまで実を結んでいるのかという点については依然捗々しい成果が得られているとは言えない。このような状況の中で、現実的な環境についての哲学的・倫理的考察は極めて重要かつ対応を迫れている。今後、スポーツの持続可能性のためには、環境問題を含めた広範な社会問題に対する配慮や取り組みがより一層求められるであろう。
