Milano-Cortina 2026: Sustainability at the Heart of the Winter Olympics

Sustainability is one of the most prominent features of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Instead of constructing large new stadiums, the Games will primarily utilize existing venues, which reduces the need for major construction and limits environmental impact. This approach helps decrease carbon emissions, protects natural alpine landscapes, and avoids the waste often associated with previous Olympic editions.

By focusing on infrastructure reuse and low-impact planning, Milano-Cortina 2026 marks a turning point by moving away from mega-construction projects in favor of more responsible and sustainable organization, setting an important example for the future of major international sporting events.
