The Paris 2024 Olympics commit to halving the carbon footprint of previous Games through various green initiatives.
Ciaran Varley and Dave Lockwood report for the BBC.
In short:
- Paris 2024 will use existing venues and low-carbon construction for new sites to minimize environmental impact.
- The Games will feature extensive use of recycled materials, plant-based food and local agriculture.
- Transport will prioritize electric connections and cycling infrastructure to reduce emissions.
Why this matters:
Sustainable practices at large events like the Olympics can set a global standard, encouraging broader environmental responsibility. Addressing carbon footprints is crucial to combating climate change and preserving the planet for future generations.
