Europe must adapt energy systems to climate stress as heatwaves, drought and low river flows threaten generation; experts call for stronger grids, storage and water resilience.

El estadio Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ha sido durante mucho tiempo escenario de grandes espectáculos deportivos. Sin embargo, ahora se enfrenta a nuevos desafíos a medida que el cambio climático redefine las reglas del deporte.

The open-air bowl of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum has long been the backdrop to breath-taking athletic performances. Behind the scenes, it is also one of the most sustainable stadiums in the US, with an award-winning record of keeping game-day waste out of landfill. But the century-old venue faces new challenges as climate change rewrites the rules of sport.

LA’s bold vision for a “car-free” Olympics has settled into a more achievable “transit-first”, still a remarkable feat for a city built around the automobile. The 2028 Olympic Games could leave behind a legacy of cleaner air, a greener bus fleet, and better bus shelters, yet slow planning and a lack of money have quashed the most ambitious plans, while car travel remains convenient and negative perceptions of public transport abound. How far Los Angeles gets matters well beyond sporting events.

This is my ode to public H₂O

The 2028 Summer Olympic Games will land in a city still rebuilding after painful wildfires, and facing social and financial challenges. Los Angeles is no stranger to the Olympics, and the city is investing heavily in public transport, while organisers plan to rely on existing venues and civil society groups are ramping up resilience work. Can one of the world's most popular cultural events become an inflection point for climate mitigation and resilience in the long term, both for the Olympics and the host city? With its rich Olympic history, California’s green ambitions, and recent brush with the consequences of global warming, LA holds enormous promise. Yet on the ground, the realities are more complicated.
