Carbon Emissions from Sports Events:Environmental Impacts,Carbon Footprint Assessment,and Mitigation Measures
The continuous growth of carbon emissions poses a significant threat to global climate,severely impacting the human living environment.In sports,activities such as sports events and the manufacturing of sports products al-so contribute to carbon emissions.This paper systematically reviews the research progress of carbon emissions from sports events,focusing on three aspects:environmental impacts,carbon footprint assessment,and mitigation meas-ures.By synthesising existing research,a better understanding of the current status and impact of carbon emissions in the sports sector is obtained.Feasible emission reduction strategies and measures are proposed,providing valuable in-sights for the sustainable development of the sports industry in China and globally.This endeavour aims to collective-ly steer the global sports industry towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction.
