In terms of sustainable venue design and construction, the Committee committed to implement strict LEED certification guidelines, with all new sport venues focusing on reduced consumption of natural raw materials, the use of renewable natural resources, a minimum distance criteria for the transport of materials, and the reuse of demolition waste. Other projects from the private and public sectors that have been built in connection with the Olympics also decided to certify with LEED.
Some examples of these public buildings are:. It will be the first time in history that the Summer Olympic Games Opening Ceremony will be held in a sport venue certified by a green building certification tool. To meet these LEED energy and water saving requirements, both passive and active measures and efficient fittings have been integrated into the designs, including recycled materials and insulated cool roofs.

Pyeongchang has embraced wind electricity — enough to power the entire Games — and has ensured that each of the six major facilities built for the events have green building certifications, incorporating cutting-edge materials, systems and design to minimize energy and water consumption.
All of these approaches help reduce the footprint of the Games, but few can still be called innovative in Despite the best efforts of both the IOC and corporate sponsors, however, the impact of the Olympics is hard to miss. With an estimated footprint of 1, kt of greenhouse gases, Pyeongchang will come at a high cost. Couple this with low ticket sales and the potential of abandoned venues in the future, and the Games begin to look hopelessly out of step with the concerns of a world working to achieve a low-carbon future.
Each Olympics could adopt an area — transport, construction, electricity, ecology — and showcase innovative ideas to inspire the world.
Some of the earlier attempts to green the Olympics have given us dramatic examples — the Richmond Oval, for instance, uses recycled materials to give us a soaring building that was designed not only for the Games but for its future use.

The Winter Olympics The issue of environmental impacts is increasingly important to the Winter Games. Green Games? Urban change The Olympics can leave behind important infrastructure legacies that promote urban sustainability over the long term. Olympics as a showcase At their best, the Olympics are a powerful movement that can effect change and act as a launchpad for new ideas. These requirements will be included in the Host Contract — Operational Requirements, which constitutes the contractual commitment between the host city, the National Olympic Committee and the IOC.
The contribution will include the planting of an Olympic Forest, from onwards. It will allow the IOC to support communities in Africa's Sahel region working towards the sustainable use of forests, rangelands and other natural resources. It will help to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Further details will be defined later this year.
Sustainability is one of the three pillars of Olympic Agenda , the reform programme introduced by President Bach in In line with its recommendations, the IOC is working to ensure that sustainability principles are embedded across its activities as an organisation, as the owner of the Olympic Games and as the leader of the Olympic Movement. Its carbon offsetting programme considers the full scope of emissions related to the Games.
