Abstract

This chapter evaluates and discusses the concepts and challenges of sustainability that are currently facing humanity and addresses the traditional elements of sustainability within the events and festivals industry. The underlying theme for this chapter is to provide clear encouragement to events and festival organizers to adopt the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at all stages of an organized event or festival. The key aim of the chapter is to highlight the steps needed to be taken in reshaping current prac tices and policies that underpin consumption and production at events and festivals.
