The Survey “Orienteering and the Environment” follows an analogous survey carried out in 2011 to understand the main issues faced by the orienteering movement in different countries. With the survey we could update the situation with a broader response. The preservation of the environment is a key pillar of the IOF sustainability ambition but the relationship between orienteering and the environment has clear implications also on the other two pillars of sustainability, social and economic. The information gathered will help to improve the performance of the IOF and its Member Federations and define the priorities for the IOF Environment and Sustainability Commission in the years to come.The areas covered by the survey were the following: • National circumstances regarding environmental issues related to orienteering. • Significance of specific environment issues related to orienteering. • Possible environmental conflicts occurred in connection with the organization of orienteering activities. • Measures taken at the national level for the management of orienteering’s environmental issues. • Needs of support from the IOF on environmental issues.
