Carbon emissions at the Winter Olympic Games 2010-2022, by event
The carbon emissions at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, China, were estimated at *** million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This was a considerable decrease when compared to the carbon footprint of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The carbon footprint of the Winter Olympic Games is typically lower than the carbon footprint of the Summer Olympics.
