United Nations Environment Programme, 2001.
US$35

Sustainable Sport Management covers all of the issues which today's sports decision-maker -- from the local event organizer and the municipal parks administrator to the international federation official -- must be ready to deal with. It describes how sport both affects and is affected by the health of the environment. It explains why the sports community should address these concerns and how to go about doing it.

Sustainable Sport Management provides clear guidance to sports decision-makers, many of whom would like to implement better environmental and social management practices but are unsure of where and how to start. It is readily accessible to all readers, from the sports professional and the volunteer to the student of sports and recreation.
