August 2 , 2024 10 hrs 0 min 19 0

Paris 2024 Olympics aims to hold the most eco-friendly Games ever.
The organising committee has committed to reduce the event’s carbon emissions by 50 per cent.
It was lowering them from around 3.5 million tonnes at Tokyo 2020, Rio 2016, and London 2012, to 1.75 million tonnes for the upcoming Games.
It completely relies on renewable energy sources, including geothermal and solar power.
All Olympic venues are conveniently reachable via public transportation.
The city has created 1,000 km of exclusive bicycle lanes and will offer 3,000 rentable bikes throughout the Games.
It advocates for plant-based, locally-sourced, and sustainable food options.
Paris is using the existing structures or temporary setups for 95 per cent of its Olympic events.
