As we celebrate Arshad Nadeem's remarkable, record-breaking win at the Olympics, it’s also crucial to highlight the significance of sustainability in such global events. This year, Paris embraced the challenge of hosting the most sustainable Olympic Games in history. The nation committed to halving the event’s carbon footprint compared to previous Summer Games.

In the past, Olympic events have faced criticism for damaging habitats and ecosystems, inadequate waste management, and the construction of unsustainable infrastructure. This year’s Paris Games aimed to address these issues by utilizing existing venues and prioritizing the reduction of plastic and food waste.
