ABSTRACT

Research question

How are bibliographic and methodological patterns, as well current contributions of environmental sustainability in sport literature, shaping a research agenda that informs effective environmental responses?

Research methods

This study surveys previous literature reviews. It then combines a systematic quantitative literature review and meta-synthesis to determine bibliographic, methodological and theoretical patterns of literature and to assess the key contributions and knowledge gaps.

Results and Findings

Limitations in the scope of previous literature reviews established the need for a more comprehensive examination of knowledge in the field. This systematic review identified environmental sustainability in sport as an emerging field with predominantly North American (in terms of both authorship and geographical settings) studies. Contributions on management and governance of environmental initiatives, shifts in environmental discourses, environmental education in sport contexts, and environmental sustainability through sport are discussed with the purpose to set directions for future research.

Implications

The international urgency and complexity of environmental issues necessitate the adoption of a global perspective and research approaches that enable sport researchers and practitioners to collaborate closely on knowledge development. Future research may expand on existing managerial and environmental education contributions and explore new theoretical terrains to advance knowledge on environmental policy and innovative approaches for effective design and implementation of sport industry’s environmental responses.

体育中的环境可持续性：系统的文献综述

摘要

研究问题

书目和方法论模式，以及体育文献中环境可持续性的当前贡献，如何塑造一个为有效的环境响应提供信息的研究议程？

研究方法

本研究调查了以往的文献综述。然后结合系统的定量文献综述和综合综合来确定文献的书目、方法和理论模式，并评估关键贡献和知识差距。

结果和发现

先前文献综述范围的局限性表明需要对该领域的知识进行更全面的检查。该系统评价将体育中的环境可持续性确定为一个新兴领域，主要在北美（就作者身份和地理环境而言）进行研究。讨论了对环境倡议的管理和治理、环境话语的转变、体育背景下的环境教育以及通过体育实现的环境可持续性的贡献，目的是为未来的研究设定方向。

启示

环境问题的国际紧迫性和复杂性要求采用全球视角和研究方法，使体育研究人员和从业者能够在知识开发方面密切合作。未来的研究可能会扩展现有的管理和环境教育贡献，并探索新的理论领域，以推进有关环境政策和创新方法的知识，以有效设计和实施体育产业的环境响应。
