Sustainability Report FIS Nordic World Ski Championship Oberstdorf 2021

After 1987 and 2005, Oberstdof has once again become a central focus in winter sports.
FIS Nordic World Ski Championships are not only a big event for athletes and millions of international fans, but also a challenge as well as an opportunity for the concept of sustainability. The World Championships, along with the necessary facilities, require suficient space and resources, they emit greenhouse gases and influence eco-systems as well as natural habitats and the economic region.
For the organizers of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2021 and the market town of Oberstdof this means: Acting today to ensure that future (sporting) generations are not compromised in their development. The aim is to create sociocultural and economic equity while at the same time respecting ecological boundaries for the use of natural resources.
The Bavarian sustainability strategy and the objectives for sustainable development of winter sports of the German Ski Association DSV, form the guiding framework and a concrete contribution or the implementation of global sustainability objectives in the UN Agenda 2030 (Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs). In the market town of Oberstdof, the sustainable development of Nordic winter sports is of elementary importance for the way of life and the future of the natural habitat. Nowhere else can the diverse sociopolitical duties we are currently faced with be so comprehensively fulfilled.
