Abstract

With the"Dual-carbon" target, eco-environmental issues and sustainable development has attracted worldwide attention. Carbon footprint is one of the most important indicators for humans to measure the impact on the environment. The introduction of carbon footprint into the field of sports events will provide an important theoretical basis and scientific support for the sustainable development of sports events. This paper aims to summarize the main sources of the carbon footprint of sports events, and the measures are taken by various countries to reduce the carbon footprint of sports events, to put forward relevant paths to reduce the carbon footprint of sports events.
