ABSTRACT

Research Question

Climate change continues to be a critical issue that impacts the ways we produce and consume sport. The extent to which sport responds to climate change (e.g. minimizing carbon emissions, adapting to climate impacts) will become more dire. Thus, it is crucial for sport to respond now to address current and emerging sustainability challenges. The popularity of sport can create opportunities to promote and influence individual behaviour change and drive organizational efforts to be environmentally sustainable.

Research Methods

The sport management academy is currently limited in its efforts to highlight, examine, and educate industry and students on the issues raised due to changes in the natural environment and the impact on the sport sector. The five articles included in this special issue aim to begin to bridge this gap.

Results and Findings

Sport is not inherently sustainable or unsustainable. We introduce this special issue to provide an overview of the current and future environmental challenges in sport management.

Implications

We encourage sport researchers to critically assess existing practices and enhance the management knowledge that not only influences the world of sport and sport managers, but also policymakers and sport fans on mitigating the impacts of climate change. We hope the following articles spark ideas, discussions, and further research projects.

体育中的环境问题：学院的可持续研究

摘要

研究问题

气候变化仍然是影响我们生产和消费体育运动方式的关键问题。体育对气候变化的反应程度（例如，最大限度地减少碳排放、适应气候影响）将变得更加可怕。因此，体育现在就应对当前和新出现的可持续性挑战至关重要。体育的普及可以创造机会来促进和影响个人行为的改变，并推动组织努力实现环境可持续发展。

研究方法

体育管理学院目前在突出、检查和教育行业和学生因自然环境变化和对体育部门的影响而提出的问题方面的努力有限。本期特刊中包含的五篇文章旨在开始弥合这一差距。

结果和发现

体育本身并不是可持续的或不可持续的。我们介绍本期特刊，以概述体育管理中当前和未来的环境挑战。

启示

我们鼓励体育研究人员批判性地评估现有实践并增强管理知识，这不仅会影响体育界和体育管理者，还会影响决策者和体育迷减轻气候变化的影响。我们希望以下文章能激发想法、讨论和进一步的研究项目。
