Major events like the World Cup or the olympics tend to generate large amounts of waste, they have a large carbon footprint, and the construction of the venues and energy use causes long-term environmental impacts. By requiring sustainability standards for these events, organizers can reduce their impact on the environment and set an example globally. Read Less

These events carry great symbolic and social significance since they bring together people from all over the world.

On the other hand, strict requirements could be expensive and challenging for smaller nations, and local officials, to meet due to lack of capacity and resources among other reasons. Read Less
