The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Sustainable Development is a comprehensive and powerful survey of the ways in which sport engages with its social, environmental, and ethical responsibilities.

It considers how sport can use its unique profile and platform to influence the attitudes of sport fans and consumers to promote positive social and environmental action around the world and to contribute to sustainable development, perhaps the most important issue of our time. The book is structured around the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, with a section devoted to each goal that contains chapters reviewing key theory and current research, measurement and evaluation issues, and the application of current knowledge in real-world development situations. Drawing on research and expertise from management, sociology, development studies, psychology, and other disciplines, the book examines the role that sport must play in areas such as health and well-being, poverty, education, gender equality, decent work, responsible consumption, and climate action.

Representing a keynote work on the wider social responsibilities of sport as both an industry and sociocultural activity, this is essential reading for any advanced student or researcher working in sport development, sport management, sport sociology, event studies, development studies, or environmental studies, and for any development practitioner or sport management professional looking to understand how to achieve positive social change in and through sport.

Industry Reviews

"The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Sustainable Development provides a comprehensive, well-written, and skilfully structured manual into the intersection of sustainability and sport. The mix of theory, evaluation tools, and case studies of successful projects related to SDGs makes the handbook suitable for varied audiences. The target audiences can range from practitioners representing sport organizations and their stakeholders, policy makers at various levels, sport scholars, and students at both graduate and postgraduate levels. Considering the ubiquity of sustainability at the top of world's agenda, it is a must-read book for any sport management student and scholar." - Grzegorz Botwina, University of Warsaw, Journal of Sport Management
