Large sporting events have the power to create excitement among millions of people across the globe. At the same time, these types of events also leave their mark. Garbage, noise, emissions of greenhouse gases and air contaminants, the sealing of surfaces and consumption of materials involved in the extension and construction of sports complexes, as well as the consumption of energy and water related to the events themselves create burdens on humans, the environment and nature. Winter sports are viewed particularly critically due to their use of large areas and the intervention in nature and in the landscape often related to this. Sustainable development is based on the assumption that today's generations will utilise natural resources in a manner that ensures a functioning ecological, economic and social structure for future generations. Against this background, sustainability has also become an important issue in the discussion surrounding the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and the Olympic legacy.
