The South African Country Study was prepared by Mark Borchers and Sivuyile Maboda of Sustainable Energy Africa (SEA). This manual identifies The India Country Study was written by Shailly Kedia, Aastha Mehta, Prasun Gangopadhyay, Arpita Khanna and Shilpi Kapur of The Energy and Resources “mega-events as Institute (TERI) with advisors Dr Ligia Noronha and Dr Prodipto Ghosh.

The Brazil Country Study as well as the Summary Report were authored by change awareness Dr Christoph Trusen of GITEC Consult GmbH with the support of Clarissa and sustainable urban Dudenhoeffer. development The authors wish to thank the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), in particular the respective KAS-offices in South Africa, India and Brazil for their generosity and guidance in making this report possible. A special word of thanks goes to the following individuals for their valued sup- ” port and technical assistance: Dr Werner Boehler, Christian Huebner and Christina Teichmann from KAS, Kurt Ackermann (Edit), Bryony van Wyk (Design) and Sheryl Ozinsky (Project Co-ordination). The authors hope that the commitment shown by the Deutsche Olympische Sportbund (DOSB) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to promote the hosting of sustainable mega-events will be an inspiration for other stakeholders involved in such events. he hosting of mega-events has a tremendous effect on devel- oping and emerging countries. These can be positive in terms Tof economic investment, job creation, skills development and international branding but also can be negative in terms of their environmental footprint, for example via carbon emissions caused by international visitors to the event. Besides the environmental considerations, the important question needs to be addressed as to how such a mega-event, in particular the expenditure and investments that come with it, will benefit the poor. While this aspect might not be as relevant in a developed country con- text, it is crucial in a developing one. This manual identifies mega-events as innovative catalysts to promote climate change awareness and sustainable urban development. The authors consider in detail the FIFA World Cup™ (South Africa 2010; Brazil 2014), The Olympic Games (Brazil 2016) and the Commonwealth Games (India 2010). They share first-hand experiences of preparing for and hosting mega-events in South Africa, India and Brazil with three case studies from the cities of Cape Town, New Delhi and Rio de Janeiro. The manual also provides recommendations, which the authors hope will serve as encouragement to the sustainable development efforts of developing countries hosting or planning to host mega-events in the future. 6 • SUSTAINABLE MEGA-EVENTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 7 2.3.3 Social Impacts 58 2.3.4 Summary of Impacts 60 2.4 Conclusion 61 2.5 Recommendations 61 2.5.1 Recommendations for Host Countries

The FIFA World Cup, Human Rights Goals and the Gulf Between Richard Peltz-Steele Abstract With Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 on the horizon, the process for selecting hosts for the World Cup of men’s football has been plagued by charges of corruption and human rights abuses. FIFA celebrated key developing economies with South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014. But amid the aftermath of the global financial crisis, those sitings surfaced grave and persistent criticism of the social and economic efficacy of sporting mega-events. Meanwhile new norms emerged in global governance, embodied in instruments such as the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the Sustainable Development Goals. These norms posit that commercial aims can be harmonized with socioeconomic good. FIFA seized on the chance to restore public confidence and recommit itself to human exultation in sport, adopting sustainability strategies and engaging the architect of the UNGP to develop a human rights policy.

  • The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup: a Look Back: Perceptions of Its Impact on Tourism in South Africa
    International Review of Management and Marketing ISSN: 2146-4405 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Review of Management and Marketing, 2021, 11(4), 49-58. The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup: A Look Back: Perceptions of its Impact on Tourism in South Africa Tinashe Chuchu* School of Business Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. *Email: [email protected] Received: 06 May 2021 Accepted: 08 July 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/irmm.11593 ABSTRACT Africa’s first FIFA World Cup sparked a series of scholarly work mostly conducted prior to this event. This phenomena is still relevant today with many unanswered questions. This research therefore investigates and examines literature on how the 2010 FIFA World Cup is perceived almost a decade later. A qualitative approach was adopted based on secondary data sources and grey literature. Contextual information was gathered from popular data bases that include Science direct, Ebsco host, Emerald and Google scholar. A total of 20 studies on both tourism in South Africa and the 2010 FIFA World Cup published between 2004 and 2019 were examined and systematically presented and discussed. Recurring trends based on review of literature were identified. The destination image theory and the destination concept were used to comprehend international visitors’ attitudes and their interpretation of South Africa as a travel destination. One of key findings was that the crime in South Africa, before, during after the World Cup ranks highest in terms of tourism deterrence. However, the event was generally perceived positive as a fairly positive success with room for socio-economic improvement.
