ABSTRACT
With the effects of the global climate crisis being difficult to ignore, the word “sustainability” is being used increasingly within the sport ecosystem and beyond. In the sport industry, the pressures, challenges and opportunities that sport ecology bears are often the topic of discussion, sometimes paired with some, albeit minimum, actions on behalf of sport organisations. In this commentary we focus on sport ecology and the “buzzword” of sustainability in sport, to examine sport sustainability in practice and the potential scenarios for the industry’s inevitable, due to recent legislation, future actions.
