It criticizes the evolution of public claims from 'carbon neutrality' to 'climate positive' as misleading and highlights a lack of transparency in carbon credit purchases. The authors argue that future games must downscale or decentralize to align with the 1.5°C goal and should avoid partnering with companies whose climate pathways are incompatible with the Paris Agreement.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"cmw-000698#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"The Paris 2024 organizing committee set a target to halve greenhouse gas emissions compared to the average of the London 2012 and Rio 2016 summer games, aiming for a carbon budget of 1.5 MtCO2e.
