In the field of advocacy too, the IOC has launched a series of programmes and activities that contribute to raising awareness about the importance of sustainable development in sport. Such activities are implemented in cooperation with several institutions, such as the Olympic Solidarity, International Sports Federations (IFs), National Olympic Committees (NOCs) , Organising Committees of the Olympic Games (OCOGs), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
These institutions all contribute the promotion of sustainable development in sport within the Olympic Movement at national, regional and international level either by contributing to IOC initiatives or in their own right. These programmes and activities range from organising a biennial World Conference on Sport and Environment to organising local activities during the UN World Environment Day that is held every year on 5 June.
