The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 68 AMBITIONS AND INITIATIVES Paris 2024 seeks to support and celebrate everyone who, in some shape or form, helps people access physical activity and sport in organised or informal settings, including athletes, teachers (particularly primary school and PE teachers), sports instructors, doctors, HR managers, urban planners and elected representatives. France boasts a sporting movement that is committed to all sports throughout the country. With the initiatives and commitment of all these stakeholders, particularly local sports clubs, we will succeed in introducing more sport at school, at work and in urban areas throughout the day. This approach provides a wide range of choices that make it as easy and natural as possible for people to increase their activity levels. The first step is to change people’s perception of sport and physical activity and provide support and activities that meet expectations. This approach also promotes the expansion of active mobility, which has health and environmental benefits. Active forms of mobility (walking, running, cycling, etc.) benefit both individuals and the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants linked to vehicle use. Encourage and support the development of active schools 1. School lessons that lend themselves to physical activity 2. Physical training for workers on Games construction sites 3.
