The Olympic Games face a challenge: the climate crisis, with record summer temperatures raising health concerns for athletes. Paris 2024 aims to demonstrate sustainability, setting a target to reduce emissions to 1.6 million tonnes of CO2. 

The Olympic village is a model of eco-friendly construction, focusing on geothermal systems and passive design to avoid air conditioning, and sustainable materials for construction.

The broader goal is to transition buildings to zero-carbon, essential for combating climate change and creating jobs. The innovation at Paris 2024 offers a template for sustainable future constructions.
