Going for Green at the Paris Games

  • Resumen

  • The Summer Olympic Games are here! That means more than 300 events, ten thousand athletes and millions of spectators coming to watch. And the athletes are not the only ones with an Olympian task; the organizers of the Paris Games pledged to make their event emit only half of the carbon pollution of the 2012 London Games. In order to make that happen, they are trying to do more — by doing less. Instead of building huge new structures, they’ve renovated a number of existing venues and installed a lot of temporary structures that can be used elsewhere in the future. And that’s just one example. So what can we learn from the Paris Games that can transcend the big event and lead to broader emissions reductions? Guests: Martin Müller, Professor of Geography and Sustainability, University of Lausanne Henry Grabar, Journalist, Author of “Paved Paradise, How Parking Explains the World” Oluseyi Smith, Two-time Olympian, Renewable Energy Engineer, Founder, Racing to Zero Angel Hsu, Director, Data-Driven EnviroLab, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ☎️ Do you work outdoors, in a kitchen or a warehouse or at another workplace where you are feeling the heat?
