In the last few decades, climate change has become a real crisis with important consequences on many socioeconomic contexts, such as the sport sector. In fact, sports training and competitions are more and more threatened by extreme weather events and hot temperatures. Since the social and individual benefits of sport are well known, this could lead to further negative consequences. At the same time, sports industry and the other sport-related sectors such as sponsorship, apparel, media, and travel sectors contribute to the environmental crisis. Therefore, substantial changes are needed in this setting, in order to adapt the sport activities to the changing climate and to achieve sustainability.
