Episode 138: Sport and the Climate Crisis with Madeleine Orr

The End of Sport Podcast

In this episode, Derek and Nathan chat with Dr. Madeleine Orr about why any conversation about justice, harm, and sport needs to account for the unfolding climate catastrophe.

Dr. Madeleine Orr is an assistant professor of sport ecology in the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education at the University of Toronto focused on the intersection of sport and climate change. Dr. Orr's most recent book, Warming Up: How Climate Change is Changing Sport just published with Bloomsbury Press focuses on the threat that climate change poses to sport, but offers insight into those dire consequences through in-depth interviews with athletes, coaches, politicians and others to demonstrate the sport industry’s role in global warming.
