Overview

When planning to host a major sport event you must take certain steps to ensure that the event is not only sustainable for the host city or region, but also leaves a lasting legacy long after the event has concluded.

The first course in the Sustainability & Major Sport Events Professional Certificate program teaches the five pillars of sustainability and looks at how these pillars should be implemented during the planning and hosting phase. With these pillars as the core principles, this second course provides you with the practical steps to take and tools to use when managing an event, and more specifically when implementing a sustainable major sport event. You are also presented with best practices in terms of strategy, sustainable procurement, and action plans to further enhance your learning.

    I think the course "Sustainability and Major Sport Events: Implementation" offers valuable insights into FIFA's approach to sustainability and provides practical guidance on implementation. Understanding the sustainability practices of major sports organizations like FIFA is crucial. Additionally, exploring the business models of football clubs can help you identify potential consulting opportunities in the sports industry. It's a well-rounded approach to building more resilient and regenerative communities through sports.

    The course presents applied information well with interesting references. Valuable additional materials are also offered for study. Unfortunately, I cannot fully evaluate it, since there is no access to the test tasks.

    Sustainability courses and the implementation of major sporting events are very important, interesting and beneficial to the environment, the economy and society. I have benefited from them in studying a master's degree in civil engineering.
