Environmental Justice in Sports

Environmental justice in sports addresses how marginalized communities often face greater environmental harms related to sporting activities and facilities, such as pollution, inadequate access to green spaces, or hazardous waste from stadium construction. It emphasizes ensuring all communities, regardless of socioeconomic status or race, have equitable access to healthy environments and sports opportunities. This movement advocates for fair decision-making, accountability, and the reduction of environmental inequalities in sports development, promoting inclusivity and sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and diverse populations.
