The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 99 Faced with the reality of the climate and environmental emergency established in the first section, we urgently need to adapt and rally around, as the future of sport is at stake. Most sports stakeholders have become aware of their impact and role and are beginning to change through initiatives such as the charters of 15 eco-responsible commitments for event organisers and facility managers, drawn up by the French Ministry of Sport and WWF France. Momentum is gained by bringing together stakeholders in line with the common vision set out in the Paris Agreement, but it still requires concrete tools and a shift in mindsets in order to become a reality. Sport has an incredible power to mobilise and unite people. It has an important role to play in combating climate change and encouraging action to protect the environment. In all its forms – amateur, professional, grassroots or youth talent development – sport is effective in encouraging a shift in behaviour and mentalities. The impact and magical aura of the Games give Paris 2024 an opportunity to lead by example, be a source of inspiration and give voice to solutions for the future. Moreover, even though the role of sport in promoting education, inclusion and solidarity is widely recognised, the Paris 2024 Games provide an opportunity to harness sport to drive advocacy of sustainable development and the environmental transformation. To accelerate the environmental transformation of the world of sport, Paris 2024 wants to: • accelerate the transformation of sporting events; • work to eliminate single-use plastics in and through sport; • promote sustainable sporting structures; • harness sport to combat climate change; • raise awareness of the importance of a healthy diet for people and the planet; • harness sport to protect biodiversity. SPORT TO DRIVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION SOCIETY IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF SPORT AND THE NEED FOR TOOLS TO ENABLE IT TO DRIVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION
