Project objective

SUPER will train 15 doctoral Fellows as transdisciplinary leaders to develop and promote sustainable, equitable physical activity and sports that prioritise both human and planetary health in the face of world finite resources and a changing climate. The network will bring together sports and physical activity industries, organisations and practitioners with leading researchers and experts across fields such as sports & behaviour sciences, human health, education, social science, planetary health, circular economy, environmental sciences and sustainable development to conduct empirical research and cascading skill-building with the following objectives: Objective 1: Establish the theoretical and evidence base as well as a research roadmap on the impact of sports and physical activity on planetary health, resources and climate and, conversely, the impact of climate change on sports and physical activity. This, to support policy, practice and novel solutions. Objective 2: Develop novel solutions for sports and physical activity policy, infrastructures, equipment, practices and promotion that bring co-benefits by simultaneously increasing population resilience to climate change equitably and lowering the impact on the planet and planetary limits.Objective 3: Test and demonstrate these novel solutions in key sectors through living labs: Health Care, Professional and Amateur Sports, School/Education, Urban Design, Workplace/Occupational Health.Objective 4: Provide evidence-based guidance and scientific support to future generations and all stakeholders who promote, manage, or use sports and physical activity: industry, practitioners, organisations, policymakers, funders, and the public, on making sports and physical activity sustainable and equitable. Objective 5: Build capacity for future generations and among the sports and physical activity industry, organisations and practitioners for developing innovative, sustainable and circular solutions and practiceTBD
