The winds of change are blowing through world sport, bringing a renewed focus on the benefits that sport can provide for local communities as well as national and international development, the Chairman of the London 2012 Games organising committee, Sebastian Coe, told a major international sporting conference today.
Work is already well underway to ensure the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games deliver a lasting legacy, sporting delegates from around the world were told today.
Low Carbon, low waste, green transportation and high re-use of materials during construction are at the fore-front of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) strategy to ensure that the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are both built and remembered as the 'Greenest Games in modern times'
