Offering global case studies, it argues that sport organizations and other public and private stakeholders have an ethical duty to factor environmental justice into their planning processes.It opens with an historical account of environmental justice research and of research into sport and the natural environment. It then offers a series of case studies from around the world, including the United States, Canada, Kenya, South Africa, and Taiwan.
