Abstract
The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London were held with an emphasis on sustainability for the first time in Olympic history. In addition to pursuing efforts toward sustainability and zero-waste in relation to the city’s waste policies at that time, we will in this paper introduce our efforts to reduce the potential for waste with the ‘food-loss reduction’ concept, which we hope will become a legacy.
In addition, for sustainable operation of the Tokyo 2020 Games, which has com on board to realize the SDGs, we participated in the City Development and Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Discussion Group (DG) as an external expert. The points that were emphasized in the discussions of the “Resource Management Working Group (WG)” and the path of creating the “urban-type regional symbiotic sphere” as a legacy will be viewed mainly with “food-loss reduction” scheme as the main example.
Now that Tokyo 2020 has been postponed to summer of 2021 due to the spread of the new coronavirus, COVID-19, we hope that we will first reduce the global epidemic together and use this crucial period given to improve the quality of preparation.
