    Can the Winter Olympics survive a warming world?

    Rising temperatures and decreasing snowpack due to climate change pose a significant threat to the future of the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Recent research indicates that by the 2050s, the number of reliable host locations for these events will decrease markedly, especially for the Paralympics held in March. To address these challenges, the International Olympic Committee is requiring that all operations become climate-positive by 2030 and is exploring adaptations such as shifting event schedules and increasing the production of artificial snow. However, these strategies face strong criticism, as athletes and advocates argue that a heavy reliance on snowmaking and fossil fuel sponsorship contradicts the movement's sustainability goals.The future success of the Games will depend on minimizing risks in selecting host locations and balancing the environmental costs of operational survival with the global need for emissions reduction.
