As the Paris 2024 Olympics approach, concerns about the environmental impact of the Games are mounting. Academics have highlighted that the demand for ice, projected at 650 tonnes, raises sustainability issues due to the energy and water required for production, especially compared to the 64 tonnes used in Tokyo 2020. Activists have also criticized major sponsors like Toyota for their high emissions, prompting protests across Paris. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the need for better nutrition and health support in sports, advocating for political leadership to combat food insecurity and obesity. A global summit in Paris aims to strengthen commitments to sustainable development in sports, with leaders discussing how to align sports with social impacts and environmental awareness. The ongoing climate crisis poses significant risks to athletes and the future of sporting events, leading to adaptations in scheduling and location to ensure safety and sustainability.
