To cut carbon emissions the olympic village in Paris does not have air conditioning.
Some countries including the US will bring their own portable ACs
Paralympic CEO Sarah Hirshland: “As you can imagine, this is a period of time in which consistency and predictability is critical for Team USA’s performance. In our conversations with athletes, this was a very high priority and something that the athletes felt was a critical component in their performance capability.”
Fewer than 1 in 10 households in Europe have air conditioning, even less in Paris
