TODAY we recognize the UN International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, celebrating how sport contributes to the @unitednations Sustainable Development Goals!

Through our programs, the #SportsDiplomacy Division uses sport to promote mutual understanding and reduce inequalities at home and abroad.

Sport-based activities that embrace the outdoors can help to promote the responsible use of natural resources. Sports Envoy Dean Karnazes ran an ultra marathon on the Silk Road to promote the importance of eco-stewardship.

Along with her organization “El Desafio”, @globalsportsmentoring alum Luz participates in @ciudadesfelices, demonstrating how sport can be used to build communities, promote employment, and create healthier places to live.
