Sport organisations have been making concerted efforts to address the environmental dimension of sustainability, but very little is still known about what they do to tackle the other three dimensions as promoted by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The workshop is designed to share topical ideas and practices and to stimulate discussions with academics and practitioners
