Academics, scholars, and researchers have been warning society for years about an inevitable pandemic. Today, every country is being challenged in their ability to effectively react to and mitigate the effects of COVID-19. This disease has impacted all aspects of life including school, work, travel, and sport.

Sport’s accessibility as a form of entertainment and wellness has been limited. However, it continues to serve as a platform for conversations about the causes and solutions for current and future threats. 

The speakers of GSM Live: Threatcasting the Future of Sport discuss how global threats have affected sport and how sport may hold the keys to sustainable solutions and social progress.
