Paris Olympics 2024 have finally came to an end. But the question still remains, how sustainable have the Olympic Games actually been? Are there any concrete examples of eco-friendly initiatives or has it been mostly greenwashing?

The average Parisian has one of the best public transport systems, even with line 13 being broken all the time. I hope people are ready to drive 2 hours to each Olympic venue in LA, since this will be a reality on 2028.
Check out the 28 by 28 project. These infrastructure projects pulled ahead to be completed before the Olympics should help.
They will definitely help, but we are starting at such a pathetic level that even all those improvements will be nowhere near European levels. I looked up the projects on Wikipedia and a bunch of them are Express Lanes. That just means having to pay to drive on the freeway with slightly less traffic than in the other lanes. That’s not exactly an improvement, unless you are a shareholder of Express Lanes.
