Statement by Adolf Ogi ![]() Adolf Ogi, UN Special Advisor on Sport for Development and Peace "Through my work as United Nations Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace I have seen for myself the many challenges that our world faces; in particular for those communities and young people who live in the midst of poverty, disease and conflict. Hence, I am pleased to give my support for the Global Youth Summit which continues the UIAA’s work to promote peace and protection of the environment. Sport is the ideal training ground for learning life’s essential skills; and mountain sport helps us to appreciate and value the natural world and the needs of remote communities. To the UIAA and its member associations around the world I offer my full encouragement for your endeavours to help create a better world through sport.” Global Youth Summit events ![]() Click on event for more information. 07 Jul 2008 to 17 Jul 2008 International youth ascent of Mount Elbrus For mountaineers 16-30 years old 12 Jul 2008 to 03 Aug 2008 International Youth rock climbing and mountaineering festival “Europe – Asia 2008 In Siberia, Russia.
