2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics

In line with Olympic Agenda 2020, Beijing 2022 integrates sustainability across its operations, including areas such as waste management, energy efficiency and carbon management.

Beijing 2022 was also one of the first signatories to the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework. The Framework was co-developed in 2018 by the IOC, in partnership with UN Climate Change. It aims to develop a global agenda for sport to take concrete action against climate change. and leave behind a positive sustainable legacy.

“This certification sends a strong message about not only Beijing 2022’s commitment to sustainability, but also China’s commitment,” said Juan Antonio Samaranch, Chair of the IOC Coordination Commission for Beijing 2022. “This achievement is laying the groundwork for many other events to come in China, be that sporting events or any other events.”

With the close of the first phase of ticket sales, Tokyo 2020 announced that 3.22 million tickets were purchased by the general public in Japan. More than 90 per cent of those who were awarded tickets through the first phase lottery made a purchase, an indication of the growing passion for the Olympic Games in the country.

For those fans who were not awarded a ticket during the first phase, there will be an additional lottery in August for the opportunity to obtain a wide range of tickets across the Olympic Games programme before another general sales phase opens in the autumn.

Built by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the centre will be the home of kayak and canoe slalom during the Games, and post-Games will be open to the public for canoeing and rafting. It is the latest new venue to open on time, and the construction of Games venues overall continues to be on track.
