Abstract
The 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Glasgow (October–November 2021) amplified the looming climate crisis. The tourism sector, among others, is expected to be a significant player in the pursuit of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 (Higham, Font, & Wu, 2021). By implication, large scale sports events such as the Olympics must also demonstrate meaningful action. In systematically reviewing the environmental sustainability of sport tourism, Mascarenhas, Pereira, Rosado, and Martins (2021) highlight a dearth of attention on carbon emissions generated by this sector, particularly mega sports events.
