A Comprehensive Approach to Carbon Reduction
To achieve its ambitious goal, Paris 2024 has adopted a multi-faceted strategy. A robust carbon budget has been established, tracking emissions from energy, transport, catering, and procurement. Renewable energy sources, such as solar power, will replace traditional diesel generators. Additionally, the organizers have secured carbon credits from projects focused on renewable energy, forestry, and clean water initiatives
Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency
Aligned with a circular economy, the Paris Olympics prioritizes reducing, renting, and reusing resources. By opting for temporary or existing infrastructure, construction emissions are minimized. The event will also run on 100% renewable energy, with France's low-carbon power grid further enhanced by solar power installations.
Greener Food and Transport
To reduce the environmental impact, the Olympics menu will feature locally sourced and plant-based options. Furthermore, the event will promote public transportation and cycling, with the majority of venues located within a short distance of the Olympic Village.
Positive Impact on the Community
Paris 2024 is committed to leaving a positive impact on the local community. The Olympic Village will be transformed into a residential and business district, providing homes and jobs for thousands of people. Efforts to clean the River Seine and improve local infrastructure will enhance the quality of life for residents.
A Model for Future Events
By integrating sustainability into every aspect of the Games, Paris 2024 is demonstrating that major sporting events can be environmentally responsible. By integrating eco-friendly practices into every aspect of the games, organizers are setting a new standard for future Olympic competitions and inspiring a global shift towards a greener future.
