Paris, official candidate to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2024

#Paris2024 - Paris is ready to deliver the most sustainable Olympic Games ever, the first in line with Cop21 and the Paris Climate Agreement

Paris, official candidate to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2024, has 95% of planned venues as existing or temporary structures, setting the stage to spectacular completion venues with a groundbreaking emissions reduction strategy resulting on a 55% smaller carbon footprint than London 2012, widely agreed to be the most sustainable Games to date.

Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris: “Paris is a global city and as a global city it is our responsibility to champion sustainable growth and development that doesn’t negatively impact the environment around us. It is our duty to take outward facing approach to the issue of climate change and work collectively to help create a world that future generations can be proud of. This extends to our bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are working hand in hand with Paris 2024 and its partners to ensure the Games we create will contribute to a broader understanding on the hosting sustainable global events.”
