“…These findings were found for leisure, tourism and professional sport activities. However, if physical activityrelated travel represented 2.2% to 26% of the annual carbon footprint in German active adults [70], the annual carbon footprint of an English Premier League player [74] or professional race car driver [77] represents 5.3 and 10 times the annual carbon footprint of British adults (i.e., 5.4 tons per year).…”

“…Their trips were mainly completed by bus [76]. Finally, Mourao [77], estimated that a professional car race resulted in 54 tons of CO 2 per driver including flights, staff travels, and production of raw materials. In their estimation, CO 2 emissions associated with races and testing represented only 0.3% of emissions per driver.…”

“…In their estimation, CO 2 emissions associated with races and testing represented only 0.3% of emissions per driver. A time series analysis was also performed to explore the efficacy of specific Formula One regulations developed in 2009 and targeting a reduction in CO 2 emissions [77]. However, these regulations were not associated with a reduction in CO 2 emissions between 2012 to 2015.…”

BackgroundThe climate change manifestations are associated with dramatic consequences for human health and threat physical activity behaviors.ObjectiveThe aims of this systematic review were to present the potential bidirectional associations between climate change consequences and physical activity (PA) behaviors in human and to propose the first synthesis of the literature through a conceptual model of climate change and PA. MethodsStudies published before October 2019, were identified through database searches in Pubmed, PsycArticles, CINAHL, SportDiscus, GreenFILE and GeoRef. Studies examining the associations between PA domains and climate change (e.g., natural disaster, air pollution, carbon footprint) were included.ResultsA narrative synthesis was performed and the 63 identified articles were classified into 6 topics: air pollution and PA, extreme weather conditions and PA, greenhouse gas emissions and PA, carbon footprint among sport participants, natural disasters and PA and the future of PA and sport practices in a changing world. Then, a conceptual model was proposed to identify the multidimensional associations between climate change and PA as well as sport practices. The results indicated a consistent negative effect of air pollution, extreme temperatures and natural disasters on PA levels. This PA reduction will be more severe in adults with chronic diseases, higher body mass index and elderly. The sport and PA communities can play an important mitigation role in post-natural disaster contexts. However, transport related to sport practices are also a source of greenhouse gas emissions.ConclusionThe climate change consequences increasingly and disproportionately impact PA at worldwide scale. PA has two concurrent mitigation and amplification roles towards climate changes.

“…As Mourao (2018) refers "The history of the analysis of structural breaks in time series is well documented in works like Aue and Horvath (2013) or Lu and Ito (2008). From the first generations, focused on testing the statistical significance of structural breaks identified for precise moments (like the Chow test), we now have tests for unknown dates.…”

Our aim is to identify periods of restrictive versus expansionary economic policy in the euro area in the last two decades. We firstly conducted the study for identifying the dominant trend in fiscal policies and then in monetary policies. We studied several fiscal outputs, focusing on the cyclical adjusted primary balance. We also analysed the European long-term and short-term interest rates. The study was conducted for several windows, namely for 3-, 4- and 5-year periods. Additional procedures were conducted for robustness checks, namely the study of structural breaks in the analysed time series as well as a study of them recurring to Markov-Switching Regimes models. For most of the analysed periods and subperiods of the series, we concluded for the presence of expansionary policies either in the fiscal or in monetary European domains. Finally, the results and the analysis of dependencies in the euro area economy favour the evidence that economic authorities in the euro area have sought to coordinate monetary and fiscal policy to stabilise the economy.

“…Views like these are connected to the increased focus on eco-friendliness impact the commercial strategies in the business of motorsport (Dingle, 2009; Tranter and Lowes, 2009; Sturm, 2019). Although F1 initiated the “Race to Green” program in 2009–2011, claims that F1 “makes determined greenwashing efforts” (Miller, 2018, p. 43) are backed by research showing that the program did not result a significant change in the global level of CO2 emitted by F1 cars compared with other periods between 1950–2016 (Mourao, 2018).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how companies activate their sponsorship of Formula E (for Electric) championship races to influence consumers' opinion of them as sustainable businesses.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on an original combination of promotional outputs (YouTube spots, social media releases and sustainability reports) from Formula E race title sponsors in the 2017–2019 seasons, the paper is a qualitative analysis of how these sponsors solve the value clash between traditional motorsport imagery and environmentalism to achieve “narrative authenticity”.FindingsFindings show that sponsors do not address this clash directly. Instead, the conflict itself is reframed as a question of what sponsors do to improve the environment, not what they ndo not do. Second, the timeframe for action is redefined, which means that the future is what counts, not the situation today or given aims like the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.Originality/valueSponsorship activation through Formula E as way of generating green brand equity would come across as more credible if companies improved the use of cross-platform synergies to convey narrative authenticity. To qualitative researchers on sport sponsorship, the findings strengthen the understanding of brands as “cultural narrators”.
