But critics point to \u2018harmful\u2019 sponsorship deals. Organisers\u2019 goal is to limit emissions to 1.58 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent for the 26 July &#8211; 11 August Games and Paralympics that follow. That&#8217;s still a lot of pollution &#8211; equal to that of about 1.3 million economy passengers flying one way from New York to Paris on Boeing 787 jets, according to myclimate, a climate and sustainability consultancy. It&#8217;s a lot less, however, than the footprint of previous Games.<\/p>\n<p>Independent experts say Paris appears to be decarbonising in the systematic ways businesses do. Its approach is to calculate total emissions, then start cutting, including myriad small CO2 savings that add up significantly. Organisers targeted reductions across three categories: construction, transportation and operations. The biggest break from previous Games is in construction. Organisers say 95 per cent of facilities are existing or will be temporary. Another emissions-savings source is energy. Energy will represent only 1 per cent of emissions, organisers said. They intend to use 100 per cent renewable power from wind and solar farms, plus solar panels on some venues.<\/p>\n<p>Some critics have also questioned some sponsors. Air France, ports operator CMA CGM Group and metals giant ArcelorMittal are leaders in carbon-intensive industries. On their websites, all tout their Olympic sponsorship and sustainability efforts. The Upright Project, a Finnish company that creates and analyes data to evaluate companies&#8217; impact on the world, looked at sponsors, assigning scores for positive and negative impacts on environment, health, jobs and other metrics. On environment, sponsors\u2019 emissions had an overall 10-fold negative impact.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/06\/03\/solar-panels-on-old-buildings-how-is-paris-2024-keeping-a-lid-on-olympics-emissions\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-531\/\">Solar panels on old buildings: How is Paris 2024 keeping a lid on Olympics emissions?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[703,575,4958,6838],"class_list":["post-131068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-paris","tag-solar-panel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131068\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
