The eyes of the whole world are on Paris and the 2024 Olympic Games, the opening ceremony will take place on Friday 26 July. But read the following carefully: here we are in June 2052, in a world that is even more affected by climate change. Franceinfo is taking advantage of these two weeks to imagine what these same Games in Paris would look like in twenty-eight years.
Franceinfo has chosen to tell the story, in almost real time, on six significant days of these future Olympic and Paralympic Games. A story of expectations based on current knowledge, supported by reports and interviews with climate science researchers and people from the world of sport (see our methodology). The last case describes Games marked with preferred sobriety and taking advantage of technology, which is sometimes equated with maladaptation.
Organization postponed until June, limited travel, disciplines disappeared or forced to evolve, the consequences of the effects of heat on the human body… Initiate yourself in the heart of the sporting event most adapted (or not) to the average increase 2.7 °C in France compared to the pre-industrial era. This is the story of the first day, with the new face of Paris and tomorrow’s Games already emerging. Time for the opening ceremony, with a very different parade of athletes from today.
