Abstract

The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 was a historic occasion. It upheld the low-carbon premise as well as the concept of sustainable development. The Beijing Organising Committeereduced carbon emissions by using cutting-edge ice production equipment, clean energy in transportation, a fully covered green power supply, an effective system of accountability for sustainable development, and a Chinese solution. In addition to making practical contributions to the fight against global climate change, this results in the development of global low-carbon standards of relevant areas, the training of talent for low-carbon fields, and the advancement of the entire society in the direction of environmental protection and sustainable development. Practically, we propose funding for transitional energy for Winter Olympic stadiums, opening the stadiums to the public to reduce public carbon emissions, developing more low-carbon talent, and other countermeasures and suggestions to better inherit the Winter Olympics legacy.
