“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.

ICOS Cities Talks is a webinar series on greenhouse gas measurement and climate change in urban landscapes. In the series, international experts representing various fields will present a current topic for 30 minutes, followed by a Q&A session and a discussion. Check out all the ICOS Cities talks here!
