A synopsis of each is provided and includes the topic/focus, method, setting, sector, theoretical foundations, themes, conclusions, and stated gaps in the literature. Work is needed to generate a critical body of literature as much is currently unknown concerning the topics. Additional research is necessary to advance understandings on a variety of related topics such as the principal benefits for building long-term relations that aid environmental actions, and effective communication strategies relating to environmental messaging to stakeholders. The impacts of such research have the potential to influence sport which is also uniquely placed to stimulate a positive impact on society.
