Paris 2024: Most Sustainable Olympics Yet

Paris is preparing to host what is being touted as the most sustainable Olympic Games in history by refurbishing existing venues, with more than 90% of the facilities being temporary or previously constructed. Despite the excitement, locals are expressing frustrations over increased public transport rates and closures, security measures, and other disruptions. The opening ceremony, featuring cultural performances and rituals, is highly anticipated, with notable figures like Coco Gauff and Salma Hayek participating. A major international project supported by WMO aims to advance weather forecasting research during the Games, focusing on high-impact urban hazards. David Popovici, a young swimming sensation, is set to compete, building on his impressive track record and charity work. Additionally, hundreds of volunteers will assist in various tasks, ensuring smooth operations during the event.
