Climate crisis threatens future of global sport, says report
报告称，气候灾难威胁全球体育的未来

The rapidly accelerating climate crisis threatens the future of major sports events around the world, according to a report that also says the global sporting industry is failing to tackle its own emissions. The study found that in the coming years nearly all sports – from cricket to American football, tennis to athletics, surfing to golf – will face serious disruption from heatwaves, fires, floods and rising sea levels. It also estimated that globally, sports’ own carbon emissions are equal to that of a medium-sized country, adding that sport administrators and stars had an important role to play in global efforts to tackle climate breakdown.

一份报告称，迅速加剧的气候危机正威胁着全球重大体育赛事的未来，同时指出，国际体育产业也未能解决自身的排放问题。该研究发现，在未来几年中，几乎所有运动——从板球到美式橄榄球，网球到田径运动，冲浪到高尔夫——都将面临热浪、火灾、洪水和海平面上升带来的严重扰乱。该报告还估计，在全球范围内，体育赛事的碳排放量相当于一个中等国家，并补充说体育运动管理者和明星在全球应对气候崩溃的努力中可以发挥重要作用。
