The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 8 Leave a strong and enduring social and environmental legacy that harnesses sport to benefit individuals, society and the planet: raise awareness of the importance of physical activity and sport, encourage people to become more active, make it easier for them to get involved in sport, use sport in education, integrate people from disadvantaged backgrounds into society through sport and harness sport to drive the environmental transformation. Deliver an edition of the Games that can be held up as an inspiring example socially and environmentally in every effort related to organising the Paris 2024 Games: harness the organisation of the world’s largest sporting event to protect the environment, drive economic and social progress and improve the quality of life for people living in host regions. PILLARS OF THE LEGACY AND SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY The Legacy and Sustainability strategy is built around six main pillars outlined below, which were designed to deliver an edition of the Games that can be held up as an inspiring example (focus 1) and leave an enduring legacy in the regions after the Games (focus 2). THE LEGACY AND SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY FORMS A COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR THE SHARED AMBITION CHAMPIONED BY PARIS 2024 AND ITS STAKEHOLDERS The Legacy and Sustainability strategy was developed through a collaborative effort that began back in 2016 to define a shared ambition towards which all those involved in preparing the Paris 2024 Games actively contribute: the Host City, the French State and local authorities; the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), the French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF) and the entire sporting movement; partner marketing companies, trade unions, employer organisations and those involved in the French economy; people living in France and civil society as a whole. Hundreds of meetings, consultations, community workshops, discussions and suggestions formed the basis for this common framework, which seeks to achieve two ambitions: DELIVERING GAMES THAT CAN BE HELD UP AS AN INSPIRING EXAMPLE LEAVING A SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEGACY Eco-responsible Games that harness sustainable solutions Sport to improve health, education and civic engagement Games that boost regional growth and appeal Sport to improve inclusion, equality and solidarity Games that open up opportunities for everyone Sport to drive the environmental transformation 01 02
