The 2024 Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, which had publicly announced that it would not install air conditioners in
the athletes' village in order to implement an eco-friendly Olympics, has decided to bring in temporary air conditioners
after considering the concerns of participating countries.
According to an article reported by AFP on the 4th (Korean time), the Paris Organizing Committee plans to place 2,500
temporary air conditioners in the athletes' village with 7,000 rooms.
Many participating countries were worried that their athletes would not be able to sleep properly in the athletes' village in
Paris' hot weather, and the Paris Organizing Committee, which had promised to hold an eco-friendly Olympics by reducing
carbon emissions, eventually gave in.
The Paris organizing committee promised to keep the temperature inside the athletes' village about six degrees lower than
outside by pumping up and circulating cold groundwater instead of installing air conditioning, but this did not receive a
great 온라인카지노 response.
Each country's team can order portable air conditioners on loan from the organizing committee at their own expense.
Temperatures in Paris in late July can easily exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and with heat waves continuing for several years,
wealthy countries such as the United States have announced early on that they will provide portable air conditioners at
their own expense in the athletes' village.
