Motivation,Logic,and Approach of International Sports Organizations Practicing the Principles of Sports for Climate Action——Also on China's Sports Response to Climate Change
In the context of global warming,international Sports organizations practice the principles of Sports for Climate Action to address the challenges of climate change.Starting from the motivation of international Sports organizations to practice the principles of promoting climate through sports,this paper summarizes the behavioral logic of international sports organizations in implementing the principles,analyzes the practical challenges of implementing the principles,proposes improvement paths,and discusses the improvement of China's sports response to climate change.The study found:In the practice of the principles of Sports for Climate Action,international sports organizations adopt a soft approach to establish climate change responsibility at the organizational level,by regulating the application of carbon footprint calculation and hierarchical processing mechanisms to minimize negative impacts on the climate,implementing the concept of diverse governance in climate action education,sustainable and responsible consumption,and advocating for climate action.It is concluded that that the principles of responsibility for international sports organizations to cope with climate change are unclear,implementation mechanisms are weakened,responsibility regulations need to be improved,and the application of hierarchical processing mechanisms needs to be standardized;improvements can be made from the establishment of the principle of"independent contribution"responsibility,the improvement of the climate impact assessment system,clear guidance on responsibility,the enhancement of ecological protection awareness,and the establishment of a verification system for implementing the principles of Sports for Climate Action.Based on the practical experience of international sports organizations in promoting the principles of Sports for Climate Action,China's sports response to climate change should strengthen macroeconomic regulation,improve"symbiotically"the climate change response system,and strictly implement rights and responsibilities.
