Who are the #Paris2024 athletes cutting their travel CO2 emissions? 🏅Team GB 🏅THE BRITISH PARALYMPIC ASSOCIATION 🏅Team Belgium🏅TeamNL NOC*NSF 🏅Team Deutschland are setting a powerful example by significantly reducing their carbon footprint for the upcoming Paris 2024 Games. According to a study by EcoRes, the 2000 athletes, Paralympians, and their staff traveling to Paris with @Eurostar are making an impressive environmental impact – cutting their CO2 emissions by 80% - 96% compared to air or coach travel. 🟢These partnerships not only showcase their commitment to sustainability but also underscore the influential role athletes play in inspiring positive change, beyond the impact of their own travels on climate. 💚Sports fans are passionate and often look up to their teams as role models. Athletes have the responsibility to encourage fans to make environmentally conscious lifestyle choices. Their actions hold the power to influence behavior changes on a massive scale, making low carbon travel something desirable. Eurostar is proud to partner with these trailblazing Olympic and Paralympic teams, supporting their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and set an example for sustainable travel. ⚽️ As UEFA EURO 2024 kicks off today, Eurostar encourages teams and supporters to choose the train for their journeys. Eurostar offers daily connections to Germany: Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund. Recently, 13 climate NGOs across Europe called on football teams to commit to more eco-friendly transportation modes.

For the growing number of organizations committing to decarbonization, meeting their goals can take a frustrating amount of time. The decarbonization journey is a nontraditional marathon — with a lot of ambiguity regarding the nature of the track — and many organizations struggle to identify where to start and how to scale their decarbonization efforts. We believe that these “marathon runners” can learn a lot by observing sprinters running on the same track. In particular, the fast-paced decarbonization effort by the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and Paralympics staff can be illuminating. Learn more: https://mitsmr.com/3REVXtA

In 2017, in a tight race with Los Angeles, Paris won the bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. One of the key reasons that the International Olympic Committee eventually selected the city was the Paris 2024 committee’s stated commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by half compared with the average amounts emitted in the preparations for and operations of the London (2012) and Rio (2016) Summer Games. The Paris sustainability team had about seven years to achieve the goal. To meet this ambitious commitment, they had to deploy a learn-as-you-go decarbonization process. Their experience offers four key lessons for other organizations starting or progressing on their own decarbonization journeys. https://buff.ly/4biXmx9 #greentech #innovation #climate

It is 1 year on from the launch of Team of Tomorrow and our Environmental Sustainability Strategy.   Over the last 12 months, we have provided opportunities in various aspects of sustainability for our own staff, partners and NGBs, and look forward to continuing our work to save the future of sport, and meet our long-term goal for British Olympic and Paralympic sport, and Major Events, to have a net positive impact on the environment by 2040.   The original two-year strategy was designed to lay strong foundations, and now we will be refocusing some of the actions as we now have a clearer understanding of what is required, what has worked well so far and what could be approached differently.
