Organizers of the Paris Olympics have set ambitious goals for environmental sustainability
Of all the decisions Paris Olympics organizers made about where to hold each sport, sending surfing competitions to the other side of the world — in the Pacific waters of Tahiti — provoked the strongest reactions. Tahitians and others railed against the building of a new viewing tower on Teahupo’o reef because of fears it would hurt marine life. But organizers say it wasn’t just the world-class waves that lured them to the French territory 16,000 kilometers away.
But 'when people are doing these big gestures, I’m not fully convinced of the impact,” she added of Paris’ overall climate efforts. Another emissions-savings source is energy. Energy will represent only 1% of emissions, organizers said. They intend to use 100% renewable power from wind and solar farms, plus solar panels on some venues. Stadiums and temporary venues will get power from the grid instead of diesel generators, which produce much CO2.
