Events and Sustainability

Fully revised and updated in its second edition, Events and Sustainability provides a comprehensive introduction to a full range of issues and topics relevant to event sustainability.

Topics covered across the book’s insightful and extensive chapters include impacts, operating and policy environments, stimulating urban regeneration and creating lasting legacies, as well as practical knowledge on how to plan and achieve a sustainable event. The volume takes an holistic approach, drawing on multidisciplinary theory to offer insight into the economic, socio‑cultural and environmental impacts, and how these can be adapted or mitigated. This approach is supported by a host of interactive learning features, including discussion questions and guidance for further reading. Content new to this edition includes:

• Coverage of the impact of technology on sustainable events, including live and hybrid events.
• New content on international policy, climate change and measuring impacts.
• Revised and original international case studies throughout on a wide range of event types, from mega events to community festivals. Case studies use real‑world examples to illustrate impacts, best practice and how sustainable practice can be best achieved in the future.

This timely and innovative book is essential reading for students, scholars and academics within the event management field, as well as future managers within this sphere.
