This Special Issue invites scholarly contributions that critically examine how sport organizations, events, facilities, and governing bodies can create meaningful environmental, social, and economic impact while ensuring long-term sustainability. The issue seeks to move beyond symbolic commitments and explore practical, evidence-based strategies that generate lasting benefits for communities, stakeholders, and sport organizations worldwide.
