From the city that gave the world the Paris Agreement in 2015, the Olympics are doing their bit for decarbonization

The Olympic Games are currently being held in Paris with the aspiration of being the most sustainable in history.

Here are the key points of its sustainability strategy:

• Circularity approach in all decisions.
• Reuse and adaptation of stadiums and sports facilities.
• Decarbonization efforts including Scope 3 (indirect emissions).
• New buildings with lower carbon intensity.
• Use of bio-based materials, wood construction.
• Public transport accessibility to facilities.
• Paris 2024 Pass to facilitate the movement of spectators and fans.
• Furniture design based on the reuse of materials.
• The Olympic Village generates renewable energy, such as geothermal and solar.
• Official fleet of electric and hydrogen-powered trucks.

We join these initiatives that not only seek to reduce the environmental impact of the Games, but also to inspire other events and society in general to adopt more sustainable practices.
