Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Gender Equality and Sustainability
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games stand out as the first to ensure gender equality in their competitions, while also implementing sustainable practices. The event's organizers are committed to using 95% of temporary or existing facilities, minimizing the need for new construction and reducing environmental impact. With the goal of cutting the carbon footprint by 50% compared to previous editions, Paris 2024 aligns with the Paris Agreement's commitments and aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The inclusion of 50% of competitions for both male and female athletes represents a significant advancement in promoting gender equality.
The promotion of sustainable practices and the pursuit of equality are essential to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The organization plans for all energy used during the Games to come from renewable sources, and for at least 70% of the waste generated to be recycled or reused. These initiatives not only set new standards for sustainability and gender equality but also serve as a model for future sporting events around the world. Paris 2024's commitment to a fairer and more environmentally responsible future is a crucial step toward transforming the global sports landscape.
