ABSTRACT

This chapter overviews the intersection of sport and Sustainable Development Goal 4. Firstly, an overview of SDG 4 and the 10 targets that underpin this goal is provided. The theoretical foundations of sport, education, and learning are discussed, with reference to both sport in education, and education as an outcome of a sport for development initiative. The connections between sport and education, including the role of intergovernmental agencies and international approaches, are used to illustrate how sport contributes to SDG 4.
