Title: Technology Encounters: Integrated Model of Sports Governance for Sustainable Development.

Introduction:

Beginning with a rich heritage of General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions, UN agreements, Secretary-General reports, and other guiding documents demonstrating sport`s enormous potential. The United Nations has long accepted, espoused for, and endorsed its valuable commitments to peace and development. The Sport for Advancement and Tranquility society accompanied the procedures and accomplishments that led to the ancient adoption of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 with keen interest and a dedication to continuing utilizing sport as an unparalleled resource to aid this emerging world action plan (Chams 2019).

Sports are also a critical facilitator of long-term growth. Yang (2020), recognize sport`s increasing ability to contribute to advancement and peace through its passage of civility and acceptance, as well as its charitable donations to women`s and youthful people`s empowering, individual and demonstrating the importance, and health, schooling, and social integration goals (Dai 2020). This comprehensive study will elaborate on the role of sports in sustainable development, analyzing sport-specific Sustainable Development Goals’ targets (Chams 2019). It will also reflect the implications, strategies and policy requirements.
