This speaker series examines sport in the context of the climate emergency. It examines the politics of sport and the environment, meaning the decision-making of people, organizations, and governments, and the social dynamics that underlie these decisions. It considers environmental practices in sport, ranging from the everyday practices of individuals to the climate change mitigation practices of institutions. And it looks at preferred futures based on the idea that imagining climate alternatives is a step towards achieving them. This webinar will focus on discussing sports’ impact on the
environment and the environments growing impact on sport. Guest speaker, Liv
Yoon, will look to answer; how are sport/leisure, climate change, social
inequities, and health-related and how we understand these links in the context
of climate change as a threat multiplier?
