Abstract:

The Routledge Handbook of Event Sustainability contains important contributions about the subject not only in relation to the events sector but also to the wider economy, society and environment. Covering perspectives and experiences from across the world, collectively the contributions, provide valuable insights into the past, present and future of event sustainability. At its core, the book stresses the importance of adopting an integrated approach to sustainability that considers environmental, social, economic and ethical dimensions in event management. By emphasising the interconnectedness of these aspects, the chapters advocate for a holistic sustainability approach that guides decision-making and practices as they apply to the events industry. This comprehensive examination of sustainability issues serves as a valuable resource for academics, practitioners and policymakers alike, guiding the evolution of events towards a more environmentally conscious and responsible future.
