Today Year Six critically analysed the sustainability strategies of Paris 2024. We worked in groups to define sustainability by re-ordering statements. This is the result:
"Sustainability is about meeting the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations, while ensuring a balance between economic growth, environmental care and social well-being."
Then we brainstormed the possible environmental impacts of big sporting events. Next we researched and summarised the strategies France is using to make the Paris 2024 the most sustainable Olympics to date. These were:
In our groups, we thought critically about the effectiveness of these actions and ranked them.
Our highest ranks were for the new forests in Africa to carbon offset and reduction of construction. Our lowest rank was for the electric helicopters as these are just a trial scheme at the moment and can only take one passenger each.
What are you looking forward to seeing at the Olympics?
