The Paris Olympics aims to halve the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of previous games, targeting a maximum carbon budget of 1.58 Mt CO2 eq. This ambitious goal faces significant challenges, especially considering that the Tokyo 2020 Games, held during a pandemic without spectators, still generated nearly 2 Mt CO2 eq.
The primary emission sources for the 2024 Olympics are expected to be:
- Travel: Participants’ and spectators’ travel could account for a quarter of emissions.
- Construction: Permanent and temporary infrastructure could contribute another 25%.
- Operations: Catering, accommodation, and logistics will make up the final quarter.
Uncertainties remain, particularly with transport and the construction of a new motorway junction, which could increase emissions. The true carbon footprint will be revealed post-games, with a promise of transparent and independently verified reporting.
Can Paris achieve its “green games” promise amidst these challenges? The answer will unfold as the event draws nearer. Read More
