This book provides a comprehensive overview and systematic guide to the current state of knowledge on events and sustainability. Offering multidisciplinary insights from leading scholars, the book explores contemporary issues, challenges and trends.

The book starts with an introduction by the editors, defining key concepts and issues, as well as a discussion of the sustainable event debates. Specifically commissioned and carefully selected individual contributions are divided into eight main sections which critically explore the key areas of events and sustainability, providing expert-led insights into timely and relevant topics such as social and cultural responsibility, economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, sustainable events and education, inclusivity, supply side and technology and sustainability. The book concludes with a discussion by the editors of the debates in event sustainability, with a view to identify emerging issues and future research agendas.

This handbook will be of pivotal interest to scholars, students and policy-makers working in events, tourism and hospitality management.

Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Events and Sustainability

""As handbooks should do, this collection provides essential, up-to-date, and provocative readings from an international group of researchers and practitioners. The comprehensive framework comes from the UN's sustainable development goals, but the editors have taken the handbook's relevance farther by addressing the many challenges facing the event sector, presenting practical ways forward, and demonstrating the roles events play in broader social, environmental, economic and political domains. You cannot begin an essay, research project, or curriculum design without consulting this material."" -Donald Getz, PHD., Professor Emeritus, The University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
