The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games is committed to creating a landmark: to be the first major global sports event with a positive contribution to the climate.
The strategy is based on three pillars: reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, support for projects with a positive contribution to climate, and mobilisation of stakeholders to maximise long-term positive impact.
In this upcoming SportWorks TALK – Sustainability Leadership Series, Georgina Grenon, Paris 2024’s Director of Environmental Excellence, will give us an inside look on these pillars and their revolutionary ambitions, and how they are starting to deliver on that promise, three years ahead of their Games.

In a year when our fans and communities needed us most, sports stepped up to the plate. From opening our venues as food banks, voting centers, and vaccination sites to leveraging our platforms to grow support for social justice, sports have shown how to serve as both cultural centers and critical corporate citizens.
The 2021 GSA Summit will celebrate these stories and showcase how sports venues, teams, leagues and corporate partners around the world can continue to take ambitious action on both environmental and social issues to create a more sustainable, just, and resilient future for all.
Learn how the scope of the “green sports” movement continues to expand, including improved operational performance measurement, tracking and reporting in addition to increased diversity in leadership and greater access to sports for all
Together, we Play for the Next Generation!
