Abstract

Sport has been used as a platform to generate solutions for complex issues within our global society. This chapter presents an overview of sport for sustainable development (S4SD) that includes current practices, opportunities, and challenges and how sport contributes to advancing an overall well-functioning modern-world society. The topic is examined by applying the analytical theoretical concept (including understandings of the world as a complex combination of perspectives), and normative theoretical concepts (including determining a vision of a well-functioning society) to achieve S4SD. Readers are encouraged to discuss future directions for S4SD; determine the necessary leadership, strategic goals, and conceptual strategies that use sport as a platform to be part of the solution in addressing complex issues within world societies.
