The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 102 PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE SPORTING STRUCTURES Sport is more than just major events – with 16.1 million registered members in France and 32 million people in France reporting they take part in sport at least once a month, day-to-day sport not only represents an impact to be managed but also a tool to change methods and behaviour and mobilise people to protect the environment and the climate. Furthermore, encouraging regular physical activity, a healthy diet and active mobility – through sport – helps improve people’s health and reduce the daily impact people in France have on the climate and the environment. Paris 2024 therefore seeks to inspire more sustainable practices in amateur and professional sport, particularly through the Terre de Jeux 2024 and Paris 2024 Club initiatives. PARIS 2024, ALONG WITH THE FRENCH MINISTRY OF SPORT, SUPPORTS PEXE 26 TO BRING THE WORLD OF SPORT AND CLEANTECH COMPANIES CLOSER TOGETHER At present, sporting event organisers, sports facility managers, sports federations and regions hosting sporting events have no structured approach to ramping up the integration of solutions. That is why Paris 2024, along with the French Ministry of Sport, supports PEXE’s project to unite the world of sport and cleantech companies to: • lead the network of stakeholders (by creating points of contact and spaces for PEXE events) for the environmental and energy transition to respond to the challenges faced by the world of sport; • create and promote the directory of innovative solutions for sustainable sport. The first results will be revealed in spring 2021. 26. PEXE is the association of cleantech companies in France, comprising 40 networks of around 6,000 SMEs.
