The 2024 Paris Olympic Games marked a significant milestone in the global sports arena, setting new benchmarks in sustainability and inclusivity. Organizers aimed to make this the “greenest” Olympics ever, cutting the event’s carbon footprint by 50% compared to past Olympics.

Central to this effort was using renewable energy, like geothermal and solar power, in venues such as the Athlete’s Village. Moreover, 95% of the events were hosted in existing or temporary facilities to reduce environmental impact.
