IPC President Calls For Improved Accessibility To Further Para-sport Development
The International Paralympic Committee: The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President, Andrew Parsons, has called on governments and authorities around the world to invest more in accessible infrastructure to further the global development of Para-sports. Speaking at the Global Disability Summit here on Wednesday, Parsons highlighted the transformational impact of Para-sport and how it can act as a catalyst to greater inclusion for the world’s 1.3 billion persons with disabilities.
The IPC President also committed to the IPC providing para-sport development support across 150 countries by 2029, advancing greater opportunities for persons with disabilities to participate in sport and physical activity.
Andrew Parsons said: “At the IPC, we envision a future whereby every person with a disability has an opportunity to engage in Para-sport in whatever way they wish, whether recreationally or competitively. To achieve this, we need accessible infrastructure and equipment that makes sport possible.
