Deporte, Cambio Climático, Ecología, Ecología DeportivaResumen
La relación entre deporte y cambio climático ha recibido una atención cada vez mayor en el ámbito académico. Por un lado, los investigadores han tratado de comprender, cada vez más detalladamente, los efectos concretos y potenciales del cambio climático en el mundo del deporte. Por otro lado, los estudios también se han centrado en cómo el deporte contribuye al proceso de cambio climático, por ejemplo, mediante la producción de residuos, la contaminación, la pérdida de biodiversidad y las emisiones de carbono. Este artículo propone una síntesis crítica de la literatura académica en estas áreas de estudio emergentes, destacando los principales hallazgos, temas recurrentes y proyecciones para el futuro del deporte. El artículo también considera cómo el deporte se está adaptando a los desafíos que plantea el cambio climático e indica algunos de los principales problemas de investigación en el campo de la ecología del deporte en la actualidad. Finalmente, el texto enfatiza la necesidad de fortalecer la investigación sobre deporte y cambio climático en el Sur Global.
