Guinée-Bissau: Raison d’adhésion aux initiatives Sport pour l’Action Climatique et Sport pour la Nature**
La Guinée-Bissau, riche en biodiversité et culturellement vibrante, reconnaît l’intersection cruciale entre le sport, la conservation de l’environnement et l’action climatique, et a démontré un engagement solide envers la durabilité et la préservation de l’environnement. Notre pays possède un vaste réseau d’aires protégées, y compris le Parc National d’Orango et la Réserve de Biosphère de l’Archipel des Bijagos, qui sont des refuges cruciaux pour les espèces menacées et les habitats uniques. En outre, la Guinée-Bissau a été active dans la mise en œuvre de politiques et de projets visant à atténuer les effets des changements climatiques.
L’adhésion aux initiatives Sport pour l’Action Climatique et Sport pour la Nature représente une extension naturelle de notre engagement en faveur de l’environnement. Le sport, avec son pouvoir unificateur et sa capacité à mobiliser des personnes de tous âges, offre une plateforme unique pour promouvoir la sensibilisation et l’action en faveur du climat et de la biodiversité.
À travers Sport pour l’Action Climatique, nous entendons engager nos jeunes et nos communautés dans des activités qui promeuvent la durabilité environnementale. Des tournois de football, de lutte, des courses et d’autres activités sportives peuvent être utilisés pour éduquer et inspirer des actions concrètes contre les changements climatiques, telles que la réduction des émissions de carbone et la promotion de pratiques durables.
Avec Sport pour la Nature, nous visons à renforcer la connexion des gens avec notre riche biodiversité. Des événements sportifs dans des zones naturelles, comme les randonnées et les marathons, peuvent mettre en valeur la beauté de nos écosystèmes et l’importance de leur conservation. De plus, ces activités peuvent générer des fonds pour des projets de conservation et impliquer les communautés locales dans la protection de leur patrimoine naturel.
Notre adhésion à ces initiatives internationales renforce également notre engagement envers les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD), en particulier les objectifs 13 (Action Climatique) et 15 (Vie Terrestre). Nous sommes convaincus que, en intégrant le sport avec l’action climatique et la conservation de la nature, nous pourrons créer un avenir plus durable et résilient pour la Guinée-Bissau.

President of the Republic of Latvia
One of our national priority goals is “a dynamic range of cultural and sports services accessible to everyone, which allows developing talents and creating a strong image of Latvia in the world” and it goes in line with sports commitments stated in the Paris Agreement for Sports and Sustainable development. One of the priorities set in our Sports Policy Guidelines for 2022-2027 is to ensure the availability of interest education in sports programs in all the general education institutions therefore enabling more children and youth to engage in physical activities.
With an emphasis on the involvement of children and young people in certain sports in Latvia, our country invests significant resources in both appropriate infrastructure and sport teachers.
Youth can be attracted to engaging sports that combine street culture with organized participation. By rising the active civic involvement of young people our Ghetto games movement has gained outstanding popularity. It has begun at the lowest point of the global economic crisis, in one of the most socially disadvantaged districts of Riga. At these street sports and culture activities our future gold medallists forged and polished their skills in 3×3 basketball – now a sport on the Olympic programme, which is extremely popular in Latvia.
In addition, urban development and increasingly friendly public spaces have contributed to the accessibility of skateboarding that nowadays has become an important sport and lifestyle in Latvia, attracting more and more young people and gaining wider public recognition.
Building on the decades-long cooperation with the National Olympic Committee, Latvia is putting the promotion of the youth Olympic movement in its focus, emphasizing new sports popular among young people and building a steady basis for the pyramidal structure of the European Sports Model – from the grassroots to the Olympic Gold.
