The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 4 The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 4 Along with all our stakeholders, we decided to seize the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games as an opportunity to increase the reach of sport in people’s lives and come up with a new model for organising major events. That’s the idea behind our collectively constructed and collaboratively implemented Legacy and Sustainability strategy. Increasing the reach of sport in people’s lives involves making better use of all the solutions it has to offer to improve health, education, social cohesion, inclusion – particularly for people living with disabilities – and gender equality. A number of stakeholders – including instructors, PE teachers, volunteers and sports club employees – are already doing this on a daily basis across France. We will be able to harness the reach and unique momentum of the Games to shine a spotlight on the commitment shown by these groups and bring together relevant stakeholders – the sporting movement, regional authorities, the French State, associations and companies – to strengthen the position and social impact of sport in society. We also want to make sure the Games help accelerate the environmental transformation of the world of sport and regions by passing on a method, developing innovative tools and promoting widespread awareness. Let the Games begin! We are collectively building a new model for the Games to ensure they control their impact on their surroundings as well as the entire planet, bring people together and are inclusive, frugal and sustainable.
