It is becoming increasingly accepted that there is a bidirectional relationship between sport and the climate, in that sport both affects and is affected by the climate system.
Though research on the varied ways in which climate change impacts sport (and vice-versa) is increasing, in terms of the research on sport-related carbon emissions, this has almost exclusively focused on professional and elite-level sport, ignoring the far more active and populated activities at the grassroots and youth levels (Wilby et al. 2022).
Yet, as we indicate in our meta-analyses (ibid), participation sports can be “hotspots” of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, and given the number of grassroots and youth sport participants around the world, the impact of that participation on the climate remains an important line of enquiry. This studentship will seek to address this gap.
94% of Loughborough’s research impact is rated world-leading or internationally excellent. REF 2021
