Sustainability initiatives are at the core of Beijing 2022’s operations, and the Organising Committee is at the forefront of contributing to global climate change initiatives. Guided by the IOC within the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework, Beijing 2022 will use advanced technology to maximise the positive impact of the Games.

Innovations include using natural CO2 refrigeration systems in most of the ice venues, which have no impact on the environment. Together with the IOC, Beijing 2022 continues to make contributions in key action areas to drive the climate change agenda in sport.
