into effect to ensure timely execution of all sustainability
related deliverables.
• The key standard of making any sporting event environment
friendly is to ensure that it is carbon neutral. In order
to strategise a way of ensuring the Games are carbon
neutral, it is imperative that analysis be carried out well in
advance to assume the tentative footprint of the Games.
As scenarios change (e.g., number of athletes expected,
expected power consumption at stadia, etc.), the carbon
footprint baseline must also be revised periodically. This will
provide an insight into the amount of carbon that needs
to be offset and accordingly strategies will be developed
to offset it (afforestation projects, carbon credit purchase,
etc.). It will also help the organisers realise the current
status of their offset strategy when they map it to the
expected footprint and therefore, make changes to it
accordingly.
