Chico Harlan of The Washington Post reports that some delegations feel uneasy about relying on a more sustainable French geothermal cooling system during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
As Paris prepares to host the Olympics this year, there's a significant focus on environmental sustainability. One notable initiative is the omission of air conditioning in the Athletes’ Village dorms, replaced by sustainable cooling methods. However, concerns over athlete comfort have led many countries, including major delegations, to bring their own portable air-conditioning units. This move has sparked a debate about balancing sustainability goals with athlete needs, revealing disparities among participating nations in terms of resources and priorities.
