The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 117 • THE ENERGY COUNCIL The Energy Council meets at least twice a year and its main tasks include: 1. developing a framework through which risks related to the resilience of networks and the supply of electricity and gas for the Games can be understood, assessed, prioritised and presented for review by the appropriate authorities to enable decision-making and the issuance of permits; 2. working with the appropriate French government agencies and departments to establish a process to manage risks related to the supply of energy to the sites and examine how they can be resolved. • UNFCCC AND SPORTS FOR CLIMATE ACTION Paris 2024 also affirmed its commitment to deliver sustainable Games by officially signing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Sports for Climate Action initiative. In collaboration with over 158 signatories worldwide, Paris 2024 is working to set an example in its environmental practices, reduce the climate impact of the 2024 Games, educate people on climate issues, promote more responsible and sustainable consumption and, lastly, advocate for climate action. The Environmental Excellence department is an active participant in the various working groups bringing to life the commitments of this initiative, and is particularly involved in the second principle, “Reduce overall climate impact”, for which it jointly manages a working group. • THE MOBILITY COMMITTEE The Mobility Committee is responsible for coordinating the organisation of transport for the Games. Meeting multiple times a year, it oversees four working groups: infrastructure and legacy, mobility and traffic, vehicle fleets for 2024 and innovation. THE WORKING GROUP OF SIGNATORIES TO THE CHARTER OF 15 ECO- RESPONSIBLE COMMITMENTS Launched in 2017 by the French Ministry of Sport in partnership with WWF France, the charter consists of 15 priority commitments to organise environmentally friendly events with a view to making gradual improvements (in terms of food, responsible purchasing, waste recycling, reduced water and energy consumption, accessibility, gender equality, etc.). Having signed the version of the charter for event organisers, Paris 2024 takes part in the working groups held by the French Ministry of Sport and WWF France, along with 105 other organisers and facility managers that are signatories. These working groups take place several times a year and are an opportunity for all the signatories to interact, share best practices and feedback, and find out about initiatives introduced by others so that everyone can move forward together.
