The Games Go Green: Sustainability of the Olympic Games Revealed

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

The Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games are back, set to takeover Paris in July - and for the first time in eight years, they'll be full-scale events, no longer restricted by the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic. New venues have been constructed to facilitate thousands of athletes as millions of fans flock to France for the competition. There's no refuting the grand scale of the production. But it raises the question, can Games of this magnitude ever truly be sustainable? Join Tara Clifford, Thomas Colasante, and special guest Dr. Myla Andamon as they explore how the International Olympic Committee is investing in green initiatives, and whether it's enough to combat climate change. Plus, a deep-dive into what the future of the Olympics will look like as a result. * Host: Tara Clifford Reporter: Thomas Colasante Producer: Yvette Campitelli-Slee Series Producer: Grace Frost
