“Climate Positive” Olympic Games: Opportunities for Sustainable Legacies for Brisbane 2032
TIME: Wednesday 4 September 2024 at 9 am CEST
DURATION: 1 h
SPEAKER: Dr. Tony Heynen, The University of Queensland
THE TOPIC: Brisbane, Australia will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032—the first to be contractually obliged to be Climate Positive. This commitment can be achieved through a combination of two levers: emission reduction measures and carbon offsets. This presentation discusses results of a study that evaluates combinations of these levers in terms of sustainable legacies and its social, economic, and ecological dimensions. Through this, the emerging concept of Climate Positive and the legacy planning for Brisbane 2032 are explored.
