Which of the following is identified as a current issue in international sport related to the environment?

• A. Environmental sustainability and the Olympic Games
• B. Sport Tourism
• C. Governance concerns
• D. Gender (in)equality)

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how international sport is addressing environmental impact, especially around mega-events. The best choice points to environmental sustainability in the context of the Olympic Games, which are a high-profile example where organizers are pressured to reduce carbon emissions, use green venues, minimize waste, manage water resources wisely, and create a lasting, positive environmental legacy for host cities. This focus on sustainability at the Olympics makes it the most fitting current issue related to the environment in international sport.

The other topics are important in sport but aren’t primarily about the environment: sport tourism centers on travel and economic effects of sports events; governance concerns cover how sports organizations are run and regulated; gender equality deals with social equity and inclusion.
