Guangming Network News (reporter Liu Xiyao) The concept of "green Olympics" and the concept of sustainable development run through the entire process of preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. On February 9, at a press conference between the IOC and the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, Ms. Mary Sarois, Director of Corporate and Sustainable Development of the IOC, gave a positive assessment of the work related to sustainability at the Beijing Winter Olympics. "There is a global effort to reduce the impact of climate change, and the concept of sustainable development has grown tremendously in Sports, in Beijing and in China. Achieving sustainable development and climate action is very important for the future of the Olympic Movement.

Mary Sarois said we hope that the Beijing Winter Olympics will play a leading role in sustainability. At the same time, it is hoped that the event will become a catalyst for the sustainable development of the host country. Sustainability will be a long journey, and hosting events is a great opportunity, as the Beijing Winter Olympics will emphasize sustainability, carbon neutrality and maximize the legacy of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, reusing and remodeling many venues to the highest standards in China. In addition, there are sustainable solutions for low-carbon transportation and low-carbon energy. Beijing is a major milestone in its journey into the future.
As the world's first double Olympic city, Beijing has also transformed many Summer Olympic venues into Winter Olympic venues. In this regard, Mary Sarois said that venue reuse is a very interesting model, and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will become a model for the future. "All the venues seen here are hosting different sporting events, including reusing the Summer Olympic venues into Winter Olympic venues, and in the future this will not only be able to host sports events, but also entertaining and cultural activities." These models have been used in previous decades of events, and all the features have been integrated in this Beijing Winter Olympic Games. ”
