Imagine...
Winter Olympics 2034 will be created and carried out net zero.
The Olympic Games have always had a major significance for countries, regions and eras.
Olympia 2034 is the ideal time to prove to an entire generation that it is possible to achieve the Paris 2050 climate targets (net zero), even without COP 28.
Olympic Winter Games, February 10 to 26, 2034
Current applicants are Japan with Sapporo, the USA with Salt Lake City, Sweden with Stockholm-Åre, Canada with Vancouver, Switzerland and France, which will probably be awarded the 2030 Winter Games.

Saving our planet with olympic games
-
Sports venues that have already been built are considered net zero if they are > 30 years old. The focus of the 2034 Olympics is therefore on redimensioning the Games so that older sports venues already built in the past can be used. This applies to most of the 2034 Olympic bidders.
-
Newly built facilities should be constructed with CO2-neutralized concrete and other CO2-neutral building materials.
The sports facilities should also be used in summer.
Earthmoving is to be created with electrified or hydrogen-powered excavators and vehicles.
Special attention must be paid to the existing flora and fauna and no forests must be cleared.
-
The newly built Olympic village serves as worldwide proof that entire urban districts can be built net zero. Through a standardized and OPEN(ly) concept, the initial use (athletes) can then be converted to commercial, gastronomic and residential uses. A new district. Net zero.
And best of all: this new district provides energy as it was created as PlusEnergy.Because it is possible and because it is right.
The l'inhesto project in Milan shows that this idea is not just utopian.
-
All transportation to the host country and the sports venues will be by train or electric vehicle.
There will not be a single fossil-fueled vehicle at the 2034 Winter Olympics.
Spectators arriving by plane are obliged to pay a compensation fee to neutralize the flight. The certificates come from an Olympic funding program for CCUS technologies. (Carbon capturing & storage)
-
The energy required for the Winter Games will be supplied by newly constructed Alpine solar power plants. The facilities at the venues, including all ski lifts, will be equipped with PV modules.
The entire country has set itself the goal of producing 100% of its electricity mix from renewable energy by the Winter Olympics.
-
Athletes and visitors to the Games will be catered for with food that has been produced in a CO2-neutral way. The Olympics should also have an impact on local agriculture and food innovations.
DisclaimerThis page is Utopia.
The idea of Olympia 2034 net zero is intended to inspire us and show us what humanity is capable of. If it wants to. ...or at least if a country wants to. In this way, we also see the developers as having a responsibility to bring about the building turnaround (if they want to).
