A quiet killer hit the cobblestone streets of Paris in the summer of 2003. Beginning Aug. 4, a massive heat wave settled over France, sending temperatures soaring more than 20 degrees Fahrenheit above normal for nine straight days. When it was over, France had recorded about 15,000 more deaths than would have been expected in that period — including many among the elderly and in Paris. No one checked on them until it was too late.
In Paris, the athletes village will feature wildlife-friendly rooftops, carbon-friendly building materials and greenspaces, including a public park. But the village won’t feature air conditioning in athletes’ rooms, part of a plan to reduce the games’ greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, the complex will rely on natural airflow cooling and an underground water-cooling system.
