巴黎的目标是举办迄今为止最可持续的奥运会

巴黎奥运会将在埃菲尔铁塔附近的临时体育场举办沙滩排球锦标赛。但是,在世界另一端的塔希提岛举办冲浪比赛的决定引发了争议。在Teahupo’o礁上建造一座新的观景塔引起了人们对海洋生物潜在危害的担忧。

尽管存在争议,但组织者认为,在塔希提岛举办冲浪比赛的决定是基于减少奥运会的总体碳足迹的目标。他们声称大多数粉丝将在电视上观看赛事,从而避免了与航空旅行相关的碳排放。此外,更少的观众将意味着更少的施工,这是另一个主要的碳排放来源。

巴黎奥运会的目标是将排放量限制在158万公吨二氧化碳当量以内,大大低于前几届奥运会。组织者的目标是削减建筑、运输和运营。例如,95%的设施将是现有的或临时的,两座新建筑将使用可持续材料建造。

在食物方面,巴黎奥运会的目标是通过在当地采购80%的食材和提供60%的植物性食品,将普通膳食的碳足迹减半。在能源方面,奥运会将使用来自风能和太阳能发电场的100%可再生能源,场馆将从电网而不是柴油发电机获得电力。

但是,减少与交通相关的排放是一项重大挑战,因为预计将有数百万游客参加奥运会和残奥会。批评者认为,这些游戏的可持续发展努力值得称赞,但应该更进一步,并质疑碳密集型行业赞助商的参与。

对于无法减少的排放,巴黎计划通过补偿,例如植树,进行补偿。但是,由于缺乏监管和可能存在欺诈行为,这种做法受到了批评。组织者坚持认为,他们将继续调整其可持续发展计划,并努力使奥运会尽可能具有可持续性。
