Can Paris 2024 be the greenest Games yet?
2024年巴黎奥运会能成为最环保的奥运会吗？
LONDON, July 26 (Reuters) – With medals made of iron salvaged from Eiffel Tower refurbishments and stadium seating of recycled plastic, Paris 2024 aims to be the greenest olympics yet.
伦敦，7月26日（路透社）–随着奖牌由埃菲尔铁塔翻新中回收的铁制成，体育场座椅由回收塑料制成，巴黎2024年的目标是成为迄今为止最环保的奥运会。
The case for action is clear as scientists, opens new tab have said intense heat linked to man-made carbon emissions is a growing risk to competitors at the world’s largest sporting event and beyond.
采取行动的理由很清楚，因为科学家们说，与人为碳排放有关的高温对世界上最大的体育赛事及其他赛事的竞争对手来说是一个越来越大的风险。
Paris 2024 has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by half compared to the average emitted during the London and Rio Summer Games.
巴黎2024年已承诺将其碳排放量与伦敦和里约夏季奥运会期间的平均排放量相比减少一半。
Here are some of Paris 2024’s efforts towards meeting that goal.
以下是巴黎2024为实现这一目标所做的一些努力。
CONSTRUCTION 建设
For many people, Olympic stadiums such as Rio’s Olympic Aquatic Centre that have failed to find a purpose after the Games symbolise extravagance.
对许多人来说，像里约奥林匹克水上运动中心这样的奥运场馆在奥运会结束后没有找到用途，象征着奢侈。
Paris 2024 has sought to minimise new construction.
2024年巴黎奥运会力求最大限度地减少新建筑。
Almost all venues use existing or temporary sites, often relying on the city’s landmarks as backdrops.
几乎所有的场馆都使用现有的或临时的场地，通常依赖于城市的地标作为背景。
Organisers say the replacement of concrete with low carbon building materials, including sustainably-sourced wood, will reduce the Olympic Village’s emissions by 30% compared to what the organisers referred to as conventional projects without giving details.
组织者表示，用低碳建筑材料（包括可持续来源的木材）取代混凝土，与组织者所称的传统项目相比，将使奥运村的排放量减少30%。
Permanent infrastructure accounted for 73% of the estimated 467,000 metric tons of carbon emissions generated by the Olympic Games between 2018 and 2023.
永久性基础设施占2018年至2023年奥运会产生的估计467，000公吨碳排放量的73%。
In addition, 11,000 seats at the only two purpose-built arenas for Paris 2024 are made out of recycled plastic.
此外，巴黎2024年仅有的两个专用场馆的11，000个座位由回收塑料制成。
TRANSPORT 运输
Along with construction, transport is expected to be one of the biggest sources of emissions during the Games.
沿着建筑施工，交通运输预计将成为奥运会期间最大的排放源之一。
Organisers have said they will use low-carbon vehicles to ferry around athletes and official visitors and that all venues are accessible by bike, foot or public transport.
主办方表示，他们将使用低碳车辆运送运动员和官方游客，所有场馆都可以骑自行车、步行或乘坐公共交通工具前往。
However, Paris is not tackling the emissions generated by spectators travelling to the Games – such emissions made up almost a third (28%) of the 3.3 million metric tons of carbon emitted by the London 2012 Games.
然而，巴黎并没有解决前往奥运会的观众产生的排放量-这些排放量占2012年伦敦奥运会330万公吨碳排放量的近三分之一（28%）。
RENEWABLE POWER 可再生能源
Paris 2024 has said its venues will use renewable energy sources via the grid, rather than the diesel-powered generators often used at sporting venues.
巴黎2024表示，其场馆将通过电网使用可再生能源，而不是体育场馆经常使用的柴油发电机。
Some 5,000 metres squared of solar panels have been installed on the roof of the Aquatics Centre and Olympic Village, and a 400 metre squared floating solar farm set up on the River Seine.
在游泳中心和奥运村的屋顶上安装了大约5,000平方米的太阳能电池板，并在塞纳河上建立了一个400平方米的浮动太阳能发电场。
Meanwhile, the Olympic Village has a cooling system that draws water from underground rather than air conditioning.
与此同时，奥运村有一个冷却系统，从地下取水，而不是空调。
State-owned utility EDF told Reuters it would provide guarantees of origin to link the energy used by the Games to six wind and two solar production sites in France.
法国国有电力公司EDF告诉路透社，它将提供原产地保证，将奥运会使用的能源与法国的六个风能和两个太阳能生产基地联系起来。
CARBON OFFSETS 碳抵消
To make up for the some of the emissions that are not being avoided, notably spectator air travel, Paris 2024 has purchased 1.3 million carbon credits. Each credit represents one ton of emissions reduced or removed elsewhere – from projects protecting biodiversity-rich forests in Kenya and Guatemala and improving access to clean cooking in Kenya, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
为了弥补一些无法避免的排放，特别是观众航空旅行，2024年巴黎奥运会已购买了130万个碳信用额。每一个信用额代表在其他地方减少或消除的一吨排放–来自肯尼亚和危地马拉保护生物多样性丰富的森林的项目，以及在肯尼亚、尼日利亚和刚果民主共和国改善清洁烹饪的项目。
Organisers are also spending 600,000 euros ($651,720.00) on four forestry projects in France to sequester 14,500 tons of greenhouse gases.
组织者还在法国的四个林业项目上花费了60万欧元（651720.00美元），以隔离14,500吨温室气体。
Although carbon credits can channel money to climate-friendly projects, often in the Global South, some credit-generating projects have been scrutinised over false claims about the benefits they deliver.
尽管碳信用额可以将资金引导到气候友好型项目（通常是在全球南方），但一些产生信用的项目因其提供的好处的虚假声明而受到审查。
Paris 2024 had positioned itself as the first climate-positive Games in reference to plans to remove, reduce or offset more emissions than it generates. It has since dropped such claims, pledging instead to reduce its climate impact and support climate projects.
巴黎2024年奥运会将自己定位为第一届气候积极的奥运会，因为它计划消除、减少或抵消比其产生的更多的排放。此后，它放弃了此类主张，转而承诺减少其气候影响并支持气候项目。
