Sustainable Socio-Economic Impact

  • Sustainable Economy:  Address various dimensions of sustainability and economic growth to yield long-term impacts for the host community as a thriving, sustainable economic hub through the optimization of the infrastructure, tourism potential, and international exposure associated with hosting the Winter Olympic Games.
  • Circular Economy: Implement strategies to minimize waste and maximize resource utilization by adopting circular economy and functional economy frameworks, such as energy communities and energy and digital sobriety. It can also include fostering the functional economy by embracing service provision models, including equipment leasing, shared facilities, and product-as-a-service.
  • Sustainable Behavior: Support the adoption of sustainable behavior by the visitors, the organizers, and the athletes through nudges and similar mechanisms.
