Abstract

• Mega sports events must respond urgently to the climate crisis. • COVID travel restrictions reduced Tokyo Olympics Games transport CO 2 emissions. • Reduced attendance of Olympics-related personnel saved 129,686.0 tCO 2 emissions. • This reduction equates to 38.1% of the travel emissions of overseas spectators. • Minimising event-related personnel reduces gross sports event emissions.
