As per Target 26, growing participation in biathlon, extending the sport‘s reach and improving its governance are key strategic objectives for biathlon. Many of these can be realised through development and outreach programs. These activities are the essence of the IBU‘s contribution to the social dimension of sustainable development.

In the focus area "People", our goal is to

• Make biathlon a lifestyle and mass participating sport

• Increase entry-level biathlon

• Forge gender equality and diversity

• Promote inclusion and accessibility, implement safeguarding and zero tolerance for discrimination

• Enable athlete dual career

• Enhance education and training
