  • Sustainability and Clean Energy at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics
    Sustainability and Clean Energy at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics February 12, 2018 Since 2006, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) has focused on implementing clean and sustainable energy practices while creating an infrastructure for the Olympics. In July 2015, the PyeongChang Organising Committee for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (POCOG) released their 2018 Sustainability Framework to share their vision on a clean and sustainable Winter Olympic games. This was followed by a Sustainability Interim Report released in February of 2017 to detail the progress since the initial Sustainability Framework. In December 2017, POCOG released another report: the Sustainability Pre-Games Report. This report details POCOG's efforts and achievements that have been made towards the sustainability of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games as laid out in their initial 2015 Sustainability Framework report. POCOG hopes to go beyond their "zero emissions" goal using greenhouse gas reduction strategies focused in five areas: establishing green transport infrastructure, self-sufficient renewable energy, sustainable construction, minimization of carbon emissions, and green procurement. The following article is a summary of the efforts and achievements that POCOG has made as laid out in the Sustainability Interim Report and Sustainability Pre-Games Report. It is estimated that as many as 1,753,000 domestic and international travelers will visit the Venue Cities from every region in Korea. Thus, POCOG has deemed it necessary to focus on developing environmentally friendly transportation strategies, including managing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. POCOG hopes to address this first area of focus through the construction of express railroads that will connect venues and associated facilities in the region, and the establishment of transfer centers and IT-based green transportation systems including train stations and terminals.

Despite issues with the increasing burden on host cities due to the expanding scale of the Olympics, three consecutive Games are to be held in East Asia. Why would multiple cities in East Asia want to take on the burden of hosting the Olympics? There are many case studies of research into mega sports events in North America and Europe, but little research has been conducted to date regarding the event hosting process in Asia. In order to fill this gap, this article will illustrate how mega sports events such as the Olympics have been positioned in East Asia as opportunities for regional development. The example of the preparations for the PyeongChang Olympics will be analysed to elucidate the structural difficulties in regional development through hosting mega sports events. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Literature Review 3. Historical Trends Regarding Mega Sports Events in Korea 4.
