flag Climate change threatens Winter Olympics viability, with only 16 of 93 sites likely suitable by 2080 without action.

flag Rising global temperatures threaten the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, with a Canadian study warning that only 16 of 93 potential host locations may reliably support the Paralympics by 2080 under current emissions trends. flag Shifting the Games earlier by two to three weeks could nearly double viable Paralympic sites. flag Snowmaking, already essential—especially in Beijing 2022—is critical for future hostability, though its environmental impact requires sustainable solutions. flag The IOC has paused the 2030 bidding process and now mandates climate resilience through mid-century. flag Researchers urge urgent action to preserve fair, safe conditions and align the Games with climate goals.
