13:00 - 14:30 Sustainability & Legacy: How can sports events help to mitigate short-term impacts on the environment and to leverage longer-term impacts for meaningful change?

However, over the last decade, many sports stakeholders have played an important role in minimising their carbon footprint and using their widespread influence to promote environmental causes and practices in the long-term.
