Description

This presentation will focus on the most recent bidirectional influence links between sport, physical education (PE), physical activity (PA), and climate change (CC). The manuscript will consist of three complementary elements. The first part tries to establish links in between sport, PA and PE on the one side and the natural environment on the other side. We will provide a comprehensive review of the literature on current environmental conservation concerns and the links known between sport, PA, PE and CC. The second part presents several influences between sport, PA, PE and the natural environment such as practices adaptations and modulation for now and for the future. Finally, the third part will focused on solutions and presents an original approach to the use of outdoor in PE for environmental education without losing one of the strong specificities of the discipline, namely the development of motor skills. Thus, it is through the development of body techniques specific to outdoor activities and in particular concerning the sensitive dimension of physicality that an education related to the preservation of the environment can make sense in PE. A portrait of several initiatives that use sport, PA or PE to achieve environmental education or climate change awareness will be presented.
