Difficult to implement klimatpositivt OS

"the winter OLYMPICS in Sweden shall be carried out."

"But the risk is great that you put up climate change targets that are not going to keep, according to the miljöforskaren Mikael Karlsson."

"– It is quite a daring feat to say that you should be klimatpositiv, " he says."

"According to Mikael Karlsson, environmental scientist at KTH, it is common with glädjekalkyler not proved to be true in hindsight, when making socio-economic assessments before large infrastructural investments."

"– a Bit of the same feeling I get when I read some of the research that has been done on the environmental impacts associated with the OS. It will be very much waste, it will not rarely intervention in the natural areas and it sometimes gets quite a lot of emissions and carbon footprint. You promise gold and green forests, and the result is not quite the same thing."

"– It is safe to do very much. But it is a great challenge to transport people and make sure that snow is available on site. It is impossible to fix all flights to and from the OS using renewable fuels or electricity, and then you should not say it either, " says Mikael Karlsson."

"– With forethought and knowledge can be enough of an OS to be good from the environmental point of view, but if the organizers boast as the crack makes the credibility easy the same."

"Is there a risk of promising more than what is possible to implement?"

"– of Course, there is the risk. But there are seven years left to the event, and the biggest risk we see on the climate - and sustainability is how we shall manage to make a sufficiently sharp targets. We are convinced that technological progress will be very fast in the coming years, not least on the hållbarhetssidan. We are afraid to set low targets and therefore we take in, " says Johan Battle."

"Mikael Karlsson does not exclude that there are several actions that are possible to implement."

"– There are some things that would be able to go, who to see to have the food vegetarian. You can't force people to eat what they don't want to, and if there is any category that has a very specific diet so it is the top athletes. But the organizers will stand for lots of food at different times and then one would be able to do it helvegetariskt to send a signal, because meat is a food with very large carbon footprint, " says Mikael Karlsson."

"climate-offset flights"

"sustainable consumption during the OLYMPICS, for example, more vegetarian fast food, is one of the issues that have been discussed, according to Johan Battle. The plan is that the audience travel carbon offset."

" We shall minimize emissions of carbon dioxide as far as it goes, and plan to use as little fossil energy as possible. We can't control the type of fuel used for those who are flying to the contest, but we will overcompensate this with the compensation scheme that exists and thus it becomes a positive koldioxidresultat."

"– But it is clear that there is very little of the human activities of the day which is klimatpositiv. But when you have the high ambitions we have, to do everything we can to overcompensate, so we need to find concepts that can highlight the ambition. Then we have chosen the concept of klimatpositiv, " says Johan Battle."

"in May–June: the IOC evaluates the candidates, which in turn will give answers and justify their applications."

"June 24: OLYMPIC values for 2026 are presented in Lausanne, Switzerland."

"A possible winter OLYMPICS in Stockholm, will be implemented from 6-22 February 2026, with the subsequent Paralympics in the 6-15 march. The plan is to divide the event in several locations, with branches in Stockholm, Åre, Falun and Latvian Sigulda. Here, the OS 2026 to be determined, according to the plan, SOK presented in the autumn:"

"Hammarbybacken: parallel slalom (law and possibly individually), possibly some freestylegren (e.g. moguls)."

"the Stockholm stadium: possibly the big air (snowboard) and freestyle (jumps)."

"the Tele2 arena: figure skating and short track."

"Gubbängens bandyhall: curling."

"Scaniarinken, or other ishockeyhall in kranskommun: ice hockey."

"the Newly built stadium in Hamra or Bisslinge: skiing and biathlon."

"the Newly built stadium (in kranskommun): skate. A fall back option for the skate is to build a roof on Östermalms IP, which has an skridskooval."

"All the other branches in alpine, snowboard and freestyle."

"Nordic combined and ski jumping."

"Bob, luge and skeleton."
