For more than ten years, the FIM has shown its profound commitment
with the preservation of the environment, and since 1994 has
adopted and implemented an Environmental Code for all it’s
motorcycle events. Moreover, a Memorandum of Cooperation between
the FIM and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP)
was signed last December in Lausanne, during the Global Forum
for Sport and Environment, whose main objective is to provide
a framework for cooperation and support aiming at reducing
the environmental impact of motorcycle events.

Zelkova tree (Symbol tree of Motegi) ahead of this weekend’s

Moreover, the FIM and the motorcycle sport community will
demonstrate its involvement in and concerns for the preservation
of the environment at FIM events taking place this weekend,
prior to the "2007 World Environment Day" on 5th
June.
