The Games give Russia a unique opportunity to showcase its practices as regards planning, organizing and making efficient use of both the material legacy, and the non-material legacy to be left behind by the Games. According to the Games’ strategic goals, environmental protection has not been singled out as a specific function. On the contrary, the concept of a “green” Games and the territory’s sustainability underpin the entire preparations for, and staging of, the 2014 Winter Games. The Sochi 2014 Environment programme is based on the Sochi 2014 Environmental Strategy ratified by the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee Supervisory Board on June 2, 2009, and is designed to set out details of four interrelated dimensions of the Sochi 2014 Environmental Strategy through actual objectives and activities:

• Games in harmony with nature; • Climate neutral Games;• Zero Waste Games;• Enlightenment Games.

The Sochi 2014 Environment programme is a collection of environmental activities supporting the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi, which have been stipulated by programmes ratified and implemented in advance ; approved by stakeholders in the Games; and supplied with the resources required to facilitate the Sochi 2014 Environmental Strategy and meet commitments contained in the Bid Book. The Sochi 2014 Environment programme is a “living” Games document that will be further developed as activities are carried out and ways

of attaining objectives are improved. The main objectives in the development of the Environment programme were the following:

• To determine actual, measurable, attainable objectives within each strategic dimension;

• To systematize the work of the main participants in preparations for the Winter Games;

• To assess the adequacy of activities already underway or planned, with regard to the commitments Russia must meet.

The developed document does not claim to have acquired the status of a federal (or regional) target programme (with the additional financial resources, and special federal formatting standards, etc., that would entail). The main function of the Environment programme is to systematize and coordinate the work of the Winter Games’ stakeholders with regard to environmental commitments made in the Bid Book. As for time-frames, three distinct stages, each of vital importance, present themselves: the preparations for the Games, including the construction of Olympic venues; the staging of the Games, and the welcome we offer our guests; and the post-Games period. This last phase is set to become the touchstone of the Winter Games’ success, deciding their impact not only on Sochi, but also on Russia as a whole. The Environment programme is aimed at making the Winter Games an instrument of positive change for our country; a demonstration of its capabilities and commitment to environmental protection, sustainable development and environmentally responsible behaviour. The Environment programme draws on the experience of the Vancouver 2010 and the London 2012 Games in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development and, moreover, by expanding on the way sustainable development and the Olympic movement’s values have been applied and instilled into the Games’ activities in the past, it places a fundamentally new emphasis on the Sochi 2014 Games – they will become the Games of Environmental Enlightenment.

The full planning cycle for the Games’ environmental support consists of three stages (see Diagram 1). At stage 1, all environmental commitments in the Bid Book were systematized. As a result, the Sochi 2014 Environmental Strategy was developed and approved on June 2, 2009, by the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee Supervisory Board. This document laid the foundation for the development of the Environment programme. At stage 2, an Environment programme that secured coordinated goals and actions from all stakeholders was developed. The first stage of the Environment programme’s development saw the systematization of environmental protection activities which are already being carried out or whose implementation is merely planned, with regard to every strategic dimension and according to the requirements of the Bid Book in the field of ecology and environmental protection as well as to the Environmental Strategy. One of the main objectives of the Environment programme was to involve the greatest possible number of stakeholders in its development. As a result, 74 organizations took part in its development: the Sochi 2014, i.e. stakeholders, partners, and non-governmental organizations (the list of organizations is shown in Annexe 3); approximately 77 Russian and non-Russian experts (See Annexe 4). At the second stage of the Environment programme’s development, a three-day working session, which served as an integrated communication platform, was organized and held. The main goals of the session were as follows:

1. To verify the environmental challenges presented by the Games, and the goals of the Environmental Strategy in relation to them.

2. To define anticipated outcomes with regard to every goal, and measurable target values with which to assess progress in each strategic dimension (“Games in harmony with nature”, “Climate Neutral Games”, “Zero Waste Games”, and “Enlightenment Games”). The system’s development took into account indicator-based systems already in existence such as OGI (Olympic Games Impact) and GRI (Global Reporting Initiative).

3. To assess the adequacy of activities already being carried out, or planned, with regard to the Games’ environmental support, so as to achieve the goals set by the Environmental Strategy.

The principles of activities development for every dimension of the Environmental Strategy are shown in Diagram 2.

The first step to be taken went towards forming the Games’ environmental challenges. The main reasons behind their formation were commitments made in the Bid Book, along with an analysis of the existing situation and systemic problems in the Games’ preparation and staging. Thus, a comparison of the current state (How Things Are) and the future as stated in the Bid Book (How Things Will Be – requirements of the Bid Book, expectations among major consumer groups (population, civil society organizations, authorities, etc.)) enabled us to formulate the main problem areas with regard to the Games’ environmental support, along with a system of challenges. The next step went towards forming the goals of the Environment programme. The basic criteria that helped to determine the final list of goals were the following:

1. The ability to meet existing challenges efficiently.

2. To enhance the Games’ positive impact to the maximum.

3. To provide for a positive legacy from the Games.

The final list of challenges and goals was verified by participants during a working session and is shown in Diagram 3


Diagram 3. Diagram showing the Challenges and Strategic Goals of the Environment programme.

Challenges Strategic Goals GAMES IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

To construct Olympic venues in SPNA – Sochi National Park

1. To mitigate the possible negative impact on the environment during preparations, staging and the post-Games period

2. To compensate for the negative impact on the environment during preparations, staging and the post-Games period

3. To implement a state-of-the-art, comprehensive approach to environmental management and environmental protection

To provide high-quality air during and after the Games

A need to increase the extraction of gravel from river beds may at the same time lead to a reduction of river discharge and a decrease in underground water level

Additional load on partially or heavily developed territories of water intake zones

Excessive water disposal system wear and tear as well as a lack of sewer systems in Sochi’s regions from the outset

To build Olympic venues in sub-mountain and mountain zones with 120 plant species protected at different levels, including 82 species listed in the Russian Red Data Book

The need for a comprehensive approach to environmental management and environmental protection

A complex geo-environmental situation characterized by increased seismic threat and highly active erosion processes

CLIMATE NEUTRAL GAMES

The organization and staging of the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games will lead to new sources of, and an increase in, carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions

1. To balance carbon dioxide 2. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions through the upgrading of Sochi’s

transport system 3. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions by upgrading the energy system

and improving energy efficiency The XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games are Climate Neutral Games ZERO WASTE GAMES

Large amounts of construction waste produced during preparations for the Games have to be treated and disposed of

To recycle large amounts of waste during the Games

1. To minimize waste production, to increase waste treatment and recycling, and to implement the “zero waste” concept

ENLIGHTENMENT GAMES

The XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games should be perceived by the public as a long-awaited and positive event for the city of Sochi and Russia as a whole. In this respect, it is necessary to place high emphasis on: providing the public with reliable information about the Olympic Games project’s implementation; the spreading of environmental awareness; and the enhancement of the public’s environmental culture

1. To enhance the environmental awareness and culture of the public in Sochi, the Krasnodar Region and Russia

2. To raise the educational awareness of stakeholders; develop their professional skills and knowledge in the field of the environment

3. To promote a culture of abiding by the sustainable development principles, and environmental protection solutions, implemented under the framework of the Olympic project

The Olympic Games project is being implemented in the area rich with rare and endangered communities and species, many of them are registered in Russian Red Data Books of different levels. This requires the 2014 Winter Games organizers to be more committed and responsible as well as Olympic builders to become more environmentally conscious, professional and knowledgeable

The Olympic Games host country should set an example of successful implementation of the sustainable development concept, and environmentally responsible behaviour on the part of organizers and city residents during the preparations for, and the staging of, the Games. The 2014 Winter Games should represent a new, meaningful step towards Russia’s sustainable development in harmony with nature, and contribute to sustained public interest in the environmentally responsible use of natural resources and a respectful approach to the environment after the Games.

The third step was centred on formulating outcomes that will help determine whether a goal has been achieved or not. At the same time, all the outcomes were tested against the SMART criteria – specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound.The next step was to create the scheme of activities required in order for the stated outcomes to be achieved. The final list of activities was compiled according to the following criteria:

1. Activity’s contribution to achieving stated outcomes, its significance in reaching goals.

2. Maximize the material and non-material legacy of the Games.

If it was deemed impossible for certain of the stated goals to be achieved through activities already undertaken or planned, additional activities were provided. The relevant sections of the Environment programme contain information on every activity, including the initial circumstances, anticipated outcomes, implementation, the institutions responsible, etc. Stage II of the Environment programme’s creation was finalized when the document received approval from representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources, SC “Olympstroy”, Krasnodar Region Administration, Sochi municipality, and business and non-governmental organizations involved in the project.

The Environment programme sets out the mechanisms to be used in its implementation in

outline only, as they will be described in full in the next programme document – Environmental Plans, along with stakeholders’ action plans for the Environment programme’s implementation; the development of the document began in 2010 (Stage III).

2.1. GAMES IN HARMONY WITH NATURE 2.1.1.Main Challenges and Opportunities presented by the Winter Games

The decision to stage the Olympics in Sochi, the commitments made in Section 5 of the Bid Book, “Environment and Weather Conditions”, and the need to take into account natural characteristics while developing Olympic infrastructure presented a host of challenges to Russia:

1. Construction of Olympic venues in specially protected natural areas – such as Sochi National Park;

2. Construction of Olympic venues in subalpine and alpine zones with 120 plant species protected at different levels, including 82 species listed in the Russian Red Data Book;

3. To provide high quality air during and after the Games;

4. An additional load on partially or heavily developed territories of water intake zones;

5. The need to increase gravel extraction from river beds, that may result in changes to river habitats and other harmful consequences;

6. The lack of sewer systems in Sochi’s regions from the outset: excessive water disposal system wear and tear, the need to reconstruct sewage treatment facilities and deep release outlets;

7. The complex geo-environmental situation, characterized by an increased seismic danger and high level of erosion activities

To handle these challenges, the use of modern eco-friendly and resource-light technologies and solutions must be implemented. Applying such methods will set an example of environmentally responsible behaviour. The success of such activities can and should be showcased all over Russia. The Games open up many opportunities for the upgrading of transport and energy, as well as the city’s water supply and disposal systems. The upgrading of the city’s life-sustaining environmental systems will decrease the load on the environment and improve it for the future, serving the development of the city and its adjacent territories as a world-class Alpine climate resort. At the preparation stage, various regional and federal environmental protection programmes were initiated, while new specially protected natural areas have been created. All of these measures will serve to protect rare species in danger of extinction.

2.1.2. Strategic Goals, Dimensions and Key Criteria for their Implementation

In response to the challenges set within the dimension “Games in Harmony with Nature”, actual strategic goals, and indicators showing the progress made towards them at each stage of the Games, were formulated.

Goal 1. To implement a comprehensive approach to environmental management and environmental protection

To manage the alpine and coastal ecosystems of Sochi Region efficiently, it is necessary to have a strategy and an integrated plan for environmental support for the preparations for, and staging of, the Games, approved by all stakeholders, as well as an action plan for every Olympic project stakeholder. A comprehensive environmental monitoring system should provide for the monitoring of the environment at the stages of construction, launch and operation of the Olympic venues. The scope and efficiency of the comprehensive environmental monitoring system is characterized by two key indicators: those monitoring scope and those monitoring frequency. The implementation of a comprehensive management approach will facilitate the creation of the integrated zone of Greater Sochi as an alpine climate resort, a finely balanced combination of natural landscapes and Olympic infrastructure venues.

Goal 2. To mitigate possible negative impact on the environment during preparations, staging and post-Games period

The development of Olympic infrastructure requires modern solutions and technology, aimed at striking the finest possible balance between technological progress and the state of natural habitats on the territory.

Preparation Criteria that reflect the efficiency of the system of modern environmental protection and resource-light solutions used in the design and

construction of Olympic infrastructure venues. (For more information about the criteria, see Annexe 1).

Staging the GamesAt this stage, indicators on the environmental quality (air, surface and ground water, etc.), which should comply with both international and national standards to ensure the Games can be staged at the highest possible level, will serve as key criteria (for more information about criteria, see Annexe 1).

Post-Games Period The post-Games period should follow the concept of “clean ground”. This concept provides for the selection of the most efficient option when transforming the Games venues. This would contribute to the sustainable development of the territory and the rehabilitation of new territories, after the temporary infrastructure has been dismantled.

Goal 3. To compensate for the negative impact on the environment during preparations, staging and post-Games period

The process of creating the infrastructure inevitably affects every aspect of the environment of Sochi Region. In this regard, the Environment programme focuses on comprehensive compensatory activities: recovering landscapes damaged during construction; preserving wildlife populations, species composition and plants’ and animals’ habitats. The Games should serve as a catalyst for the creation of new specially protected areas and nurseries for endangered species.

2.1.3. Anticipated Outcomes of Implementation of Existing Projects and Main Obstacles to Environmental Strategy Implementation

To implement a comprehensive approach to environmental management and environmental protection

It is proposed that the comprehensive system of environmental management and environmental protection should include the following elements:

Complex assessment of the environmental impact caused by construction of the Olympic venues

Timely updates to the assessment of the environmental impact caused by all the venues planned under the Programme for Olympic Venues Construction, adjusted for their location, will contribute to the creation of an action plan capable of mitigating any negative environmental consequences and possible harm, environmental hazard prevention and the prompt development of adequate compensatory activities.

Development of an integrated strategy and the Games environmental support programme Both the Environmental Strategy and the Environment programme of the Games will help formulate key goals in the field of ecology and environment protection, determine consolidated actions for Olympic project stakeholders that, in their turn, work out action plans to mitigate negative impact on environment.

Being a main document that regulates the city land use planning, the general plan of a city district “the City of Sochi” adopted by Sochi Administration helps to eliminate an effect of chaotic real estate development and use the municipal territory environmentally friendly. Regulated perspective city planning will facilitate sustainable development of Sochi’s territory.

Creation and implementation of the comprehensive environmental monitoring system in the area of Olympic venues construction

The comprehensive environmental monitoring system is one of the basic instruments of the environment protection policy. Projects of monitoring organization and conducting provided by the Olympic Venues Construction Programme are systemic and encompass all the spheres of environment: atmospheric air, water objects, mineral resources, soils, flora and fauna. Owing to complex geo-environmental situation, high emphasis is placed on monitoring of hazardous weather phenomena: landslides, mudflows, snow slides, erosion processes, etc. The comprehensive monitoring system will enable the tracing of the direct and indirect environmental consequences for the city of Sochi and its adjacent territories. Creation of the information system for Olympic project stakeholders (GIS)

The Geographic Information System (GIS) for monitoring of venues on the Games’ territory, which was created by SC “Olympstroy”, will systematize information about environmental

conditions on the territory where Olympic venues are being constructed. Data analysis will be used for doing forecasts, modelling possible consequences of hazardous weather phenomena to the environment and Olympic venues, estimating risks and making efficient managing decisions. The GIS will also provide graphic visualization of spatial data and relevant information about the Olympic venues construction territory.

To mitigate possible negative impact on the environment during preparation, staging and the post-Games period

To mitigate possible negative impact while designing and constructing Olympic venues, there are activities aimed at implementing “green standards” developed by SC “Olympstroy”.

Implementation of these “green” mechanisms can start optimization of consumption of energy and natural resources as well as facilitate the update of old State Standards for construction and Construction Rules and Regulations. Starting from May, 2009, “green standards” are used for design construction of 100% of Olympic venues in accordance with the Olympic Venues Construction Programme. Currently, we are considering a possibility to rationally introduce “green standards” into technical requirements and specifications of venues that were designed by SC «Olympstroy» before May, 2009.

A number of Olympic venues will be certified under LEED and BREEAM international

environmental standards (it is planned to certify no less than 10 venues). Certification under these standards have secured recognition for environmentally responsible behaviour and construction companies’ excellence in the field of resource saving technologies, since the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

To date, steps have been taken to disseminate “green” construction principles in the Russian Federation. In February 2010, Rostechregulirovanie (the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology) registered the “Green Standards” certification system in the Unified Register of Voluntary Certification. In the next while, voluntary certification of real estate properties will be provided by the Centre for Environmental Certification – Green Standards, founded in December, 2009, with federal state institutions within the jurisdiction of the RF Ministry of Natural Resources among stakeholders. There is also the Council for Environmental Construction that consults on how to make and submit applications for LEED and BREEAM certificates.

By including in construction contracts the provisions on the use of financial sanctions following environmental laws violations and on the formation of environmental management systems, we will be able to mitigate a possible damage to environment caused by current intensive construction and business activities. It is anticipated that by 2014 more than 50% of organizations responsible for implementation of the Olympic Venues Construction Programme will have an implemented system of environmental management in compliance with


11

ISO 14001 standards.

A procurement system, which is implemented by the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee and SC «Olympstroy» and selects environmentally safe products and services, as well as suppliers and licensees seeking to mitigate environmental consequences of their activities, will contribute to sustainable development and environment protection of the territory. Moreover, the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee implements the environmental management system that complies with ISO 14001 standards and an initiative project designed to include an environmental component in operation plans of the organization’s functional areas.

Above mentioned activities aimed at implementation of resource saving and environmentally responsible solutions at organizations involved in the Olympic Venues Construction Programme are expected to result in decrease of negative environmental impact in the Games area.

For information on anticipated outcomes of the projects planned to update transport and energy systems and, thus, facilitate the improvement of air quality, see Section 2.2. Climate Neutral Games.

In order to reduce man-made burden on water objects in the area of construction and staging the Games, Rosvodresursy (Federal Agency for Water Resources) plans to carry out a range of water protection activities. In particular, exposure limits for rivers of the Black Sea basin as well as a plan of water object complex

use and protection regulate the use of each particular water object.

In accordance with programme documents regulating the city infrastructure development, a comprehensive approach to water consumption is used. For 13 Olympic Park venues in Imeretinskaya Valley, the plan is to create separate water supply systems, so that drinking water will not be used for technical purposes or everyday needs, which use up to 3 – 5 thousand cubic metres per day.

There are activities aimed at updating the water supply and disposal systems comprehensively, developing the territory in a balanced way, preventing contamination of surface and sub-surface water, and reducing the burden on the water intake systems currently in use. The large-scale development of this infrastructure will create means of improving Sochi’s environment and the living standards of its population.

The development of water protection zones and coastal refuge belts, stretching 34 km along both banks of the Mzymta River and 6 km along the right bank of the Psou River, will raise the quality of surface and sub-surface water.

The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee has devised a plan to use artificial snow in mountain areas. This will facilitate the development the infrastructure and mechanisms required in order to minimize environmental impact on soil and water, during the staging of the Games and other sporting events.

To compensate for the harmful effect on the

environment during the preparations, staging and post-Games period

To compensate for the negative environmental impact, the Olympic project stakeholders plan special environmental protection and compensation activities. Currently, sample compensatory activities for carbon dioxide emissions are being developed. It is thought that they will secure a zero carbon balance. For more information on these activities, see Section 2.2. “Climate Neutral Games”.

Russian Railways (RZD) Open Joint-Stock Company has developed a two-stage action plan to recover the river-bed and overflow area of the Mzymta River after Olympic venues construction has been completed. In the first instance, there is a plan to develop a hydraulic model of the Mzymta River with simulations of all the temporary and permanent structures and venues, designed; in accordance with modelling data, to further elaborate on the activities and methods for reshaping, and stabilizing, river-bed morphology. The second stage will include the development of action-oriented recommendations for landscape restoration within a river flood channel, in overflow areas and natural valley levees. This action plan will contribute to the preservation of the Mzymta river habitat, and amenity planting in areas damaged during construction works.

Russian Railways (RZD) Open Joint-Stock Company have already carried out a number of compensatory activities, including some aimed at reforestation in the area where the combined

road and railway line, Adler – Alpika – Servis alpine climate resort, is being constructed.

The RF Ministry of Natural Resources is currently working on a methodology for rehabilitating any plants and animals relocated from the areas where Olympic venues are being constructed. This year, the RF Ministry of Natural Resources plans to develop a comprehensive Compensatory Activities Programme for Environment Protection in collaboration with SC “Olympstroy”, research institutions and the other organizations responsible. The Programme will focus on restoring areas damaged by construction, preserving population levels, species composition, and plant and animal habitats.

The Sochi National Park and Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve are developing a Programme for the preservation of rare and endangered animal and plant species endangered by Olympic venues construction works. Successful implementation of these activities will create a functional set of norms and regulations that would improve the efficiency of compensatory activities.

The Games will serve as a catalyst for increasing new specially protected natural areas. Following the planned activities, the total area of SPNA will increase by 20,000 ha, which is 6% greater than the total area as of 2007. This indicator will be increased through expanding the area of Sochi National Park and creating a natural ornithological park in Imeritinskaya Valley for the protection of migrant birds, endemic plant species, amphibians and reptiles.

2.1.4. Environmental Legacy

To mitigate potential negative environmental impact caused by the design, construction and maintenance of Olympic venues, activities have been planned with a view to implementing environmentally friendly and resource-light technologies, along with a comprehensive approach to environmental management and environmental protection.

The upgrading of the water supply and disposal systems, including the creation or reconstruction of sewer networks, water pipelines, water intake systems, sewage treatment facilities, and deep release outlets, is being undertaken with a view to sustainable water consumption in Sochi and its adjacent areas. As a result, the man-made burden on water facilities will be decreased.

Projects aimed at expanding and creating SPNAs in Sochi Region will help to develop the city’s environmental framework and extract its full potential in terms of tourism. Special methods and programmes for biodiversity preservation during the construction of new facilities will set a good example for solving similar problems in the future. (See Table 2.1)

2.2. CLIMATE NEUTRAL GAMES

2.2.1. Main Challenges and opportunities presented by the Winter Games In acquiring the right to stage the Winter Games in Sochi, the Russian Federation entered into several commitments (see Annexe 1) and thus, faced a number of challenges:

1. One of the key causes of global climate change on the Earth is an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide emissions. Large-scale events inevitably lead to an upsurge in energy consumed, excessive use of extra resources at construction sites, and also new activities and sources of carbon dioxide emissions

. 2. Taking into consideration the best

environmental support practices from previous Games, we need to reduce our carbon footprint, measure emissions and take steps to compensate for the carbon dioxide emitted into the air.

Climate neutral projects on such a large scale are unprecedented in modern Russia.

The Games in Sochi give Russia a unique chance to showcase to the global community a success story in terms of neutralizing the greenhouse effect and adhering strictly to carbon dioxide reduction standards.

It is worth noting that all these opportunities are valuable not only as compensatory activities

and actions but also, to a great extent, as ways of upgrading infrastructure in Sochi.

2.2.2 Strategic Goals, Dimensions and Key Criteria for their Implementation

The challenge of holding climate neutral Games prompted actual strategic goals and criteria (indicators) showing the extent to which goals have been achieved during the phases of preparations, staging and the post-Games period.

Goal 1. To achieve a neutral carbon dioxide balance

To achieve neutral carbon balance, measuring of carbon dioxide emissions (determination of emission sources, development of a measuring pattern, etc.) and other compensatory activities will be carried out. (For more information about criteria for this strategic goal, see Annexe 1). Initial conditions and criteria of goal achievements are as shown at Diagram 6.

Goal 2. To reduce carbon footprint through upgrading Sochi’s transport system

A large number of transport upgrading projects should be, first of all, aimed at raising transport efficiency in terms of environment protection as well as at an increase in traffic capacity of the city transportation hubs. Compliance with environmental standards will prevent uncontrolled carbon dioxide emissions caused

by transport. (For more information about criteria for this strategic goal, see Annexe 1). Initial conditions and criteria of goal achievements are as shown at Diagram 6.

Goal 3. To reduce carbon footprint through upgrading the energy system and raising energy efficiency

Upgrading of the energy system will result in an energy balance shift towards more effective energy sources (gas). There will be an increase in alternative and renewable energy sources used for energy supply of the Olympic Park. Cutting-edge technologies applied to design and construction of Olympic venues (“green standards”) will raise energy efficiency. (For more information about criteria for this strategic goal, see Annexe 1). Initial conditions and criteria of goal achievements are as shown at Diagram 6.

2.2.3 Anticipated outcomes of implementation of existing projects and main obstacles to Environmental Strategy Implementation

To achieve a neutral carbon dioxide balance

In order to achieve neutral carbon dioxide levels, city development documents stipulate the creation of a carbon footprint measuring model and programmes to reduce emissions and greenhouse gas absorption in Sochi.

Currently, the model for measuring emissions is being developed by the Institute of Global Climate and Economics of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring and the Russian Academy of Sciences (a sub-division of the RF Ministry of Natural Resources). To date, an approved joint operating plan for an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, a reduction in their volume and increase in their absorption, in order to satisfy the neutral carbon level concept.

Also, there will be guidelines for environmental protection activities aimed at reducing pollutant emissions in atmosphere in the area of staging the Games. To further develop the model for carbon footprint measuring, there will be sample compensatory activities for achieving neutral carbon balance. These sample compensatory activities are developed by the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee. Under compensatory activities, it means energy efficiency activities that can be carried out in compliance with Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (JIP or joint implementation

projects, a green investment scheme and emission trading) as well as forest management and agricultural activities (amenity planting for carbon dioxide absorption, etc.), change of technological processes at manufacturing enterprises, change of fuel balance towards low emission energy sources and other carbon footprint compensation mechanisms. Once they have been developed, compensatory activities will not just be applied to limited areas only. On the contrary, it will be possible to carry them out anywhere on Earth.

SC «Olympstroy» has developed a “green standards” system to be used at all Olympic venues designed after May 1, 2009. By following the green standards for Olympic venue construction, SC «Olympstroy» and the other organizations involved will reduce their carbon footprint during construction.

Thus, the development of the carbon footprint measuring model, guidelines for emission reduction, and models for carbon footprint compensation, followed by compensatory activities, will enable the achievement of neutral carbon levels.

In October 2009, the Global Environment Fund supported by the RF Ministry of Natural Resources, SC «Olympstroy», and the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee began to implement the project Considering Environmental Factors at the Preparatory Stage and during the Sochi 2014 Olympics: Strategy and Action Plan for Creating a Green Legacy. Key project components are the following: to minimize environmental footprint and neutralize


16

carbon dioxide emissions. The project objective is to develop a strategy and an action plan for making an inventory of climate change factors in regard to the following key components, among others: promotion of green construction standards, planning for energy saving and energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources, low carbon emission public transport, a carbon footprint compensation programme, information and outreach programmes for the general public.

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions by updating Sochi’s transport network

In accordance with infrastructure development documents, a large number of projects are planned with regard to reconstruction or development of new transport infrastructure in Sochi, i.e. railways and main roads, road junctions, transportation hubs and more. By 2014, public road facilities will have been significantly upgraded: a 120 km of road bed will have been constructed or reconstructed, 10 km of road junctions constructed; automated traffic management systems constructed or reconstructed.

To provide the Games’ participants and guests with transportation, there is a plan to procure a large number of low carbon emission vehicles, many of which will cater for people with disabilities. The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee is developing an Olympic transportation model for Sochi, and operational transportation plans for the coastal and mountain clusters. By developing public road

facilities, the number of traffic jams will be reduced, traffic speed increased, the volume of harmful emissions reduced, and safety levels raised. Moreover, the city’s transportation firms will acquire new buses.

One of the most ambitious projects is the construction of the combined road and railway link, Adler – Alpika – Servis Alpine climate resort.

It will dramatically alter passenger turnover between the mountain cluster and the Black Sea coast in favour of railway transportation, which is more environmentally friendly compared to the motor transportation that currently dominates the area. In addition, in order to upgrade railway transportation, there will be seven railway stations, two freight yards and 110 km of railway lines built or reconstructed. These will facilitate the development of railway transportation in Sochi Region, increase traffic flow and reduce time spent waiting.

The environmental efficiency of the transport network is demonstrated in the following example: by 2014, Krasnaya Polyana ski resort will have a cableway with a total capacity of 6000 passengers per hour and transport infrastructure fully integrated into the resort. Sochi is situated along the coast of the Black Sea. This location creates a range of opportunities for maritime transport development. The plan is to develop port infrastructure significantly, so as to provide services to both passengers and cargo. In addition, more than 35 vessels will be procured.

They will travel back and forth alongside most of the Black Sea coast. Maritime transport will become a viable alternative to motor vehicles and reduce the harmful environmental impact on Sochi’s atmosphere.

The air transportation projects provide for the upgrading of an aerodrome and of airport facilities. As the demand for air services continues to grow, these steps will enhance the quality and rate of the service provided, and make air travel safer, not least on the environmental front.

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions by updating the energy network and improving energy efficiency

As Sochi power district generates less electricity than it consumes, there are six projects planned for the creation of new generating capacity and the development of existing generating capacity. The capacity introduced will use environmentally efficient fuels as energy carriers, i.e. gas and water power. Besides, more than twenty 110 kW and 220 kW electricity substations will be constructed and upgraded. This, together with 1,600 km of new power lines, will enhance energy efficiency.

At present, many boiler plants in the city use fuel oil, which is harmful for the environment. In this regard, the plan is to replace fuel oil with environmentally efficient natural gas at 10 boiler plants within the city. These measures will dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions,

and emissions of other pollutants into the atmosphere.

SC «Olympstroy» has designed a Green Standards System for private investors and state companies. Green standards include a range of requirements and guidelines for energy efficiency. By following these standards while constructing the Olympic venues, the institutions responsible will significantly enhance energy efficiency. Moreover, this will reduce the carbon footprint left by construction.

Currently, the plan is to measure greenhouse gas emissions based on data about СО2 emissions resulting from energy supply, heating, gas supply, fuel and transport companies' activities, etc. (See Diagram 8).

Temporary frameworks for measuring СО2 emissions will be determined for individual activities at the stage when detailed implementation plans for the Environment programme are developed. It is envisaged that emissions will be at their highest by the time the Games are staged. However, the carbon footprint caused by some activities will be measured during the preparation stage and the post-Games period.

The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee is developing a carbon emissions compensation model. It is envisaged that the majority of emissions will be compensated through partners’ activities. Aside from them, CO2 compensation activities may also involve legal entities and individuals, able to contribute to neutralizing the Games’ carbon balance. All compensation activities will be closely related to the activities of key players in the state carbon market, with Sberbank (Savings Bank of the Russian Federation), the RF Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and the Russian Registry for Carbon Units among them. In accordance with RF Government Decree № 843 dated October 28, 2009, Sberbank was appointed the national carbon units operator in charge of receiving, transferring and procurement of carbon units. The Ministry of Economic Development is engaged in drawing up application forms and selecting projects in

Thus, the carbon balance can be neutralized by measuring the carbon footprint left by the Games, on the one hand, and emissions compensation by the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee’s partners and volunteers (legal entities and individuals), on the other hand. Emission compensation activities must be registered by state regulators of the carbon market. A preliminary scheme for neutralizing the carbon balance is shown below (Diagram 8).

2.3. ZERO WASTE GAMES

2.3.1. Main Challenges and Opportunities presented by the Winter Games

One of the key challenges of such ambitious projects as the Olympic Games is to find a way of using the vast amount of waste produced during the construction and staging of the Games.

Waste treatment is one of the most vital objectives of the environmental support strategy for the Games.

Solid waste landfills in the Adler and Lazarevsky regions of Sochi are unsafe and cannot be used for waste disposal. Landfills emit methane and other greenhouse gases that have a negative impact on adjacent territories and pollute underground water. Waste is simply dumped there, without being sorted and recycled.

The technologies employed in the collection, storage and utilization of waste are outdated and do not correspond to the natural and climatic conditions in the territory, nor do they meet the requirements on resort and recreational areas.

Biological waste recycling capacities do not meet the city’s needs, particularly as regards waste treatment facilities for food, garden and park, and silt waste. A large amount of construction waste needs to be recycled and disposed of. In Sochi, waste disposal must not be the only way in which waste is utilized.

The city’s unique location within the territory of Sochi National Park and near the Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve, combined with its special landscape featuring mountain slopes and a marine coast, do not provide sufficient space for the dumping and disposal of waste.

The Bid Book (Article 5. “Environment and Weather Conditions”) includes the following commitments: • To create a new solid waste collection and

recycling system;• To construct modern facilities for recycling

solid waste into environmentally friendly construction materials;

• To construct a new landfill for waste liquidation between the Buu River and the Khobza River.

Among the Sochi 2014 Environmental strategy commitments are the following::• To implement a “zero waste” concept in

Sochi;• To implement a “zero waste” concept at

the Olympic venues;• To adapt the waste treatment system to

municipal needs.

By taking into account previous Games’ best practices in the environmental support strategy for the Games, we seek to prepare and stage the Games in accordance with the “zero waste” concept, which is aimed at reducing uncontrolled waste treatment, re-use and recirculation, and meet the Environment Strategy commitments.

To date, there have not been any complete cycles of separate waste collection, treatment and recycling. Pilot projects have turned out to be unsuccessful due to a shortage in the capacity for collection and treatment and thus, have come to an end.Sochi 2014 Winter Games give us a chance to showcase to the global community a success story in implementing projects for separate waste collection, treatment and recycling.

The construction of waste treatment facilities, the procurement of equipment and special machines for waste collection, transportation and dumping, and the separate waste collection system being developed in the city in accordance with Bid Book commitments will provide Russia with unique experience in waste management.

The plan for transforming an outdated waste utilization system into an efficient system of waste regulation, adapted to municipal needs (in accordance with Environmental Strategy commitments), will be an achievement that facilitates the reduction of waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

By improving awareness and changing environmental behaviour among the general public, we will have contributed to implementing the “zero waste” concept.

2.3.2 Strategic Goals, Dimensions and their Key Implementation Criteria

One of the strategic goals of the “Zero Waste Games” dimension is to minimize waste production, and increase waste treatment and recycling, so as to implement the “zero waste” concept.

According to this concept, those manufacturing or consuming materials should either make maximum use of them, or preserve them in order to reduce waste to zero. It is common knowledge that even the latest treatment technologies are unable to make many materials re-usable.

The measures planned with a view to achieving these goals are the following:

1. To minimize waste production;

2. To develop a waste management system and modern infrastructure for waste collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and disposal.

The implementation criteria are the following:

• creation of the waste management system incorporating separate waste collection, transportation, recycling and disposal;

• creation of a new landfill for safe waste

disposal;

• 100% separate waste collection (by volume) in the Sochi National Park area during the Games;

• maximum treatment and recycling of


21

waste produced in the construction of Olympic venues; To develop technical facilities for separate waste collection, transportation, recycling and dumping;

• minimization of the proportion of non-recyclable matter among solid household waste (in terms of mass) in Sochi during the Games;

• development and application of “green

standards” for waste management at the design and construction stages of Olympic venues;

• by 2014, covering 60% of Sochi’s

population with information and Enlightenment campaigns, including those promoting separate waste collection.

2.3.3 Anticipated Outcomes of implementing existing projects and main restrictions on Environmental Strategy implementation

Minimize waste generation, and increase efficiency of waste recycling and re-use, to uphold «Zero Waste» principle

Waste recycling commitments are to be actively upheld at the preparation stage before the Games.

1. Minimization of waste generation.

The prevention of excessive waste generation, as per the requirements outlined in «Agenda 21» to be monitored by SC «Olympstroy» and ANO “Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee.

This means choosing products and services with minimal packaging, purchasing recyclable and reusable goods that are rigid and can easily be dismantled and either recycled or upgraded. Suppliers and licensees will be assessed on the costs of implementing their waste reduction solutions and on their commitment to providing a high level of environmental safety in goods, during the entire life-cycle of the goods.

The amount of waste generation will be reduced as a result of the compulsory requirements known as Green Standards, developed by SC «Olympstroy» and approved in the minutes #22 of SC «Olympstroy» supervisory council dated April 29, 2009; and version of minutes #27 dated September 24, 2009. In terms of waste disposal all those involved in the preparations for the Games commit to the

collection and treatment of construction waste, with maximum use of its useful properties. Construction waste is to be located on the construction site territory only. Effective waste disposal will be achieved by means of separate waste collection arrangement on sites. Direct incineration of unprocessed waste on site is to be banned.

The Green Standards are being implemented on 62 Olympic venues with approved project documentation, 10 of which comply with LEED and BREEAM Environmental Standards. OJSC Krasnaya Polyana has already introduced separate waste collection on facilities of STC Gornaya Karusel. The separate disposal and maximum use of inert waste for restoration of existing solid domestic waste landfills are envisaged for the Biathlon and Ski Complex, the Mountain Olympic Village and the Figure skating and Short track Centre. Wood waste is to be chipped and used for land reclamation. Waste is to be sorted into core categories: construction waste, domestic waste and scrap metal. Construction waste and domestic waste is collected into separate containers and regularly removed from sites for disposal. Scrap metal is to be taken to the ferrous metals processor. Local building materials are to be used in construction. Supply is to be supported by building industry companies in the Krasnodar Region.

A Waste survey is to be arranged on the territory of Krasnodar Region in order to achieve constant monitoring of waste generation and take measures to reduce it.

Involving the local population, through a mass media campaign advocating a responsible attitude to waste, will make a significant contribution to upholding the Zero Waste Principle.

In order to spread the idea of minimizing waste generation, Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee has introduced the concept of “Green Office”, envisaging separate waste collection.Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee is demonstrating its experience in environmental management of waste control, by introducing the certification system ISO 14001 (the Project is at the stage of forming the basics of environmental management in an organization).

2. The creation of a waste management system and modern infrastructure for the collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and disposal of waste.

In order to create the waste management system the following key conceptual documents were developed: General scheme for cleaning the city of Sochi, a complete project for the unified flow of waste transportation and recycling.

The General scheme for cleaning the city of Sochi is aimed at upholding the Zero Waste Principle. It envisages a complex balance within the waste management scheme. The project of the unified scheme for waste transportation and recycling contains certain measures to be

implemented in the General scheme. Technical support for the waste management system is envisaged as part of the system’s formation, and the arrangement of separate collections of domestic and equivalent waste on the territory of Sochi, with tourist routes and recreational spots taken into account. To date Sochi administration has purchased 30% of the fleet required for the collection, transportation (removal) and disposal of domestic waste.

The remaining portion is planned under the programme «Sochi — a hospitable city».As for the recycling of solid domestic and equivalent waste in Khostinsky district of Sochi, the plan is to build a complex for the collection, transportation and recycling of solid domestic waste by environmentally friendly means. Project documentation for the complex is currently under approval. СJSC Maikop paper and board factory has already showed willingness to buy paper waste.

The dedicated complex for disposal of medical and chemical waste that is being engineered will cover the current shortfall in capacity.

The disposal of waste water silt sediment in the Sochi treatment installations will be carried out by incineration. An agreement to build such a plant on the territory of treatment installations in the Adler district has been signed by those taking part in the investment project.

SC «Olympstroy» has developed and implemented a programme for managing construction waste. 90% of construction waste is currently processed with the help


23

of mobile and fixed treatment locations. The recyclable material gathered is used to recultivate the Plastunsky loam-field. All wood waste accumulating during land recultivation on the territory of the mountain cluster is to be directed to the wood waste processing complex.

Safe waste disposal will be guaranteed by restoration of the existing solid domestic waste landfills in Adlersky and Lazarevsky Sochi regions that are currently in a state of alert, and by the construction of domestic waste between the two rivers of Boo and Khobza. As of April 2010, the Adlersky landfill had been closed for waste disposal, and a tender opened for its restoration. Lazarevsky landfill will be closed until the end of 2010. Project exploration work is being carried out on the new landfill between the rivers Boo and Khobza.

In order to uphold the Zero Waste Principle and guided by Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee a «Zero Waste» working group has been formed including of members of: Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee, SC «Olympstroy», the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation, Krasnodar Region Administration, Sochi City Administration and OJSC «Sochinsky Waste Recycling Complex».

2.3.4 Environmental legacy

The gap between the current, unsatisfactory waste management in Sochi and the high level of the stated commitment for the 2014 Games will create the conditions for a considerable legacy after the Games.

Waste is inevitable in terms of production and use in the city, which means that the environmental legacy of Zero Waste Games will affect every aspect of the city’s life in one way or the other. At this unique event, with wide media coverage of the preparation stage, the waste management practices on display could be taken up by a city, region or even by many other countries.

After the Games material legacy will remain in Sochi: waste processing and disposal locations, an equipment fleet and a new and modern landfill. The non-material legacy will be the general positive experience in waste management system projects implementation and in environment management system implementation.

Institutional legacy - the revolutionary change of the waste management practices in Sochi, mind changing attitude of the population in terms of waste handling and the experience of living by the Zero Waste Principle on the selected territory (see table 2.3.).

2.4. ENLIGHTENMENT GAMES

2.4.1. The main challenges and opportunities presented by the winter games

The «Enlightenment Games» dimension sets a number of challenges for the Olympics organizers:

1. The Host Country is to show the world an example of a success story in implementing the sustainability concept, and in environmentally responsible behaviour on the part of organizers and the city's residents during the preparations for and delivery of the Olympics.

2. The Olympics should be seen as a positive and long-awaited event for the city and the whole country. In that regard, organizers should put extra efforts into providing citizens with information on the project’s implementation, including details on the environmental state of the city, and the stimulation of environmentally committed behaviour during preparations for the Olympics, etc.

3. The Olympic project is being implemented in a setting that showcases the widest range of rare and extinct groups and species of plants and animals, the majority of which feature in Russia’s Red Data Book. This fact demands additional responsibility on the part of Olympic organizers, greater commitment to environmental awareness, and professional eco-oriented skills and knowledge featured by the personnel of construction companies that work in Olympics venues.

.

General ignorance of environmental issues in the earlier stages of the Olympic project led to environmentally unwise management at Olympic venues, which resulted in negative public reaction at the preparation stage.

It is now obvious that organizations, involved in the preparation process, should have direct responsibility for preserving the environment, showcase an eco-friendly behaviour and use all the means possible to promote eco-friendly solutions and actions, without breaking the acknowledged right of every individual to live in healthy environment.

In accordance with the Bid Book (Section 5. Topic «Environment and Meteorology», page 14-15) it was stated that the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee will support environmental education campaigns that are called to meet the following goals:

• Include the following topics in the academic programmes of all educational institutions: environment protection, sustainable use of natural resources, and sustainability.

• Improve social and humanitarian aspects of environmental education;

• Improve the environmental awareness of

state institution managers, including heads of law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities;

• Improve knowledge of environmental law

among business organization managers, and implement environmentally oriented management guidelines;

• Distribute publications that improve

environmental awareness among the general public.

The Olympic Project will provide Russia with a number of unique benefits:

1. In the post-Olympic period Russia will experience a new level of sustainability in harmony with nature, as well as an upsurge in public interest in the sustainable use of natural resources and respect for the environment.

2. During the preparations for the Olympics the organizers will create conditions that will help citizens be more environmentally savvy, aware, and responsible, as well as create environmentally committed pattern of behaviour. Under the Environmental Strategy (page 46) the organizers are planning to perform the following:

• implement a network of educational programmes, including programmes for children and young people in Sochi;

• hold environmental conferences, round tables and forums;

• support educational activities organized by local libraries and implement a mass distribution programme for environmental literature;

• use the whole gamut of state-of-the-

art media technologies and promote the Olympics-based showcases of sustainability in harmony with nature.

3. The showcases of eco-responsible behaviour and commitment to sustainability and environmental protection in preparation and delivery of large-scale events, as well as implementation of mega projects, may be promoted and used in other cities and regions. These showcases include the following:

• implementation of environmentally effective construction technologies («Green Standards»);

• commitment to compensation for damage and negative consequences that occurred while the venues were being built;

• implementation of an environmental management system, complying with the ISO 14001 standard, in responsible executivesof the Olympic venues construction programme;

• development of a carbon compensation model;

• development of a general scheme for clearing waste from the city to secure the «Zero Waste» principle, etc.

4. The Olympics will make it possible to replicate the educational programmes developed in other Russian regions and cities (Olympics Education System «Sochi 2014»), etc.

2.4.2. Strategic Goals, Dimensions and Key Criteria for their Implementation

The Olympic challenges set certain strategic goals. These goals, if achieved, will help the Olympics make a serious improvement in the environmental awareness and behaviour of the population of Sochi, the Krasnodar Region and the country as a whole, and promote commitment to sustainability and environment-oriented solutions, implemented under the Olympic project.

Goal 1 Improve environmental awareness and eco-responsible behaviour among the citizens of Sochi, Krasnodar Region and the country as a whole

The key factor that will signify achievement of this goal will be the improvement in environmental awareness and behaviour among the residents of Sochi, the Krasnodar Region and Russia, which will be demonstrated by sociological studies (such studies may be undertaken as part of the project, «Olympic Games Impact study» (OGI indicators – «So29 Public Opinion Polls», after it has been redeveloped in accordance with the need to monitor changes in citizens' environmental awareness and behaviour).

An improvement in environmental awareness and behaviour will be the result of the measures and projects being undertaken or planned. These measures and projects will feature the

following criteria:

• There should be an approved Olympic Education System called «Sochi-2014» and an independent non-commercial organization named «Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee». In addition to that, public education programmes (including environmental ones) should be implemented throughout the city.

As regards content, the Olympic Education System can be divided into the following types of education (see scheme 11):

− «Public» (out-of-class);− «Academic» (under the education

programme);− «Special» Olympic education (Russian

International Olympic University — RIOU.

Educational campaigns developed under the Olympic Education System are held according to the three main channels: «School-desk» (activities carried out in educational institutions, outside the classroom), «Screen» (mass media), and «Stadium» (sporting events).

Olympic Education System provides 9 main target groups:

− «Influential Figures» − «Olympic Personnel» − «Sochi Residents» − «Students» − «Schoolchildren» − «Pre-school Children» − «Athletes» − «People with Disabilities»− «Foreign Guests»

The «Sochi 2014» Olympic Education System has been approved by the International Olympic Committee. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation is developing a scheme of measures that will assist implementation of the system in Sochi, the Krasnodar Region and other RF regions.


Scheme 11. Olympic Education System in Russia

27

At this stage «Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee» has developed the following aspects:

The improvement in environmentally-oriented educational level, professional skills and knowledge for the participants of the preparation and implementation stages of the Olympics will help to minimize risks of law violations related to environmental law infringement, taking place during the Olympic venues construction.

The following criteria are the key ones to reach the goal:

• Working project called Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee «Green Office».

• Development of Programme that will recognize the achievement in the sphere of implementing environmentally-effective and innovative solutions, while designing and building Olympics venues.

• Responsible executives should provide quarterly reports in which they prove they comply with the environmental requirements and risks, as well as minimize their environmental impact and use green standards while designing and building Olympic venues.

• A series of seminars to raise environmental awareness level among state organizations’ authorities and executives, including judicial and law-enforcement authorities.

• The number of contracts, signed by SC «Olympstroy» and responsible

executivesof the Construction Programme for Olympic Venues, which contains additional environmental requirements and recommendations to Olympic venues design and construction.

• The number of responsible executivesthat are working under the Olympic Venues Construction Programme and have implemented the environmental management system, and are certified as complying with ISO 14001 standard series (ISO 14001:2001; GOST R ISO 14001-2007).

• The Work Group for the Best Available Technology (BAT) should hold meetings to assess whether the project designs for Olympic Venues comply with the best available technologies.

• The number of venues built by responsible executives(including SC «Olympstroy») that have implemented an environmental management system and comply with ISO 14001 standards.


28

AS IS

There were records of environmentally unwise managementat the Olympic venues construction during the earlier stages ofOlympic Project Implementation

When the Olympic project was started, only 16% ofresponsible executives, working under the Olympic venuesconstruction program, were certified to comply with ISO 14001standards

Russia had no widespread practice of “Green Standard”implementation at design and construction stages

Goal 1 • Enhancing environmental awareness and culture among Sochi residents and all over Russia

Goal 2 • Improve environmentally-oriented educational level, professional skills and knowledge of the participants of the preparation and implementation stages of the Olympics

Goal 3 • Provide commitment to environment and sustainability oriented solutions implemented within the Olympic project

100% availability of public reports based on environmentaland sustainability issues and provided by Sochi 2014 OrganizingCommittee via internet resources and other information channels

Goal 3 Promote commitment to sustainability and the environment-oriented solutions implemented under the Olympics project

According to the majority of those participating in the implementation of the Olympic project, the Games will help Russia to implement up-to-date, environmentally responsible solutions for the design, construction and use of venues.

Measures that are being implemented within the Olympic project should become striking examples of a commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. They should be broadcast in other Russian regions and cities and, as a result, significantly improve environmental awareness and behaviour.

These are the measures for the following dimensions: «Games in Harmony with Nature», «Climate Neutral Games», and «Zero Waste Games».

Detailed criteria and target values are contained in Annexe 1. Initial state and criteria for fulfilling objectives are represented in Scheme 13.

2.4.3. Anticipated Outcomes of Implementation of Existing Projects and Main Obstacles to Environmental Strategy Implementation

Improve environmental awareness and eco-responsible behaviour of the citizens of Sochi, Krasnodar Region and the country in the whole.

Implementation of the existing Enlightenment projects and education programmes, developed under the Sochi 2014 Olympic Education System, will help children and youth better understand the following Olympic ideas:

− Olympism/Paralympism; − voluntary work; − environmentally responsible behaviour; − tolerant attitude towards people with disabilities;− cross-cultural conduct etc.

Subsequently, principles and mechanisms set forth in the Olympic Education System will help to achieve the following goals: improve approaches to teaching sports in Russia; create models that will make sport popular among the public and encourage citizens, above all young people, to lead an active life; create a new generation of Olympic movement experts and enthusiasts; improve environmental awareness and behaviour among the population; develop Russia’s creative and hospitality industries.

The following measures will increase the general level of environmental awareness and behaviour among the general public: prepare information and educational messages (including those

promoting selective waste collection) and broadcast them through various media outlets (TV, radio, city papers, Internet, outdoor advertising, information leaflets, mass cultural events, and public events) as part of the project entitled «Sochi — Hospitable City». Sochi-based TV and radio channels and publications will be partners in this project. They will provide the back-drop for special educational modules and marketing campaigns that will distribute video and printed materials in public places.

Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee is cooperating with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This cooperation will help to combine the efforts of the two institutions in providing environmental support for the Olympics, develop environmental education and improve environmental competence and awareness with the help of the Olympics.

The Scientific Centre for Environmental Education, based on «NIIgorlesekol» FSI, will help to accomplish the following: develop the environmental priorities of the international Olympic movement; develop environmental behaviour; enlighten the general public; and improve the skills of experts working in the construction and maintenance of health resorts and sports facilities, as regards the environmentally safe use of natural resources, environmental protection and sustainability.

The main results expected of the centre are as follows:

• Improve the knowledge of the target group representatives who undergo training and retraining. Among these are the following employees:

• employees of the government agencies for construction, transport and environmental safety, as well as for tourism and sport.

• employees of design and construction organizations involved in Olympic and leisure infrastructure construction;

• teachers in high schools and public schools;

• tourist site owners; • visitors to specially protected natural

sites etc.• Develop and implement programmes to

improve the skills required in making use of ecology and natural resources;

• Develop user-friendly information materials on environmental enlightenment and ecotourism (digital models of the territory, animated models showing the landscape’s dynamics, multi-media presentations for SPNA visitor centres and entertainment facilities, etc.);

• Develop ecotourism projects in the region, including solutions for specially protected territories;

The information centre and sightseeingnetwork of Khosta Taxus and Buxus Forestwill help to increase the number ofenvironmental education services deliveredto the population. The main goals of theinformation centre and sightseeing network:• enhanced quality of environmental

education services;

• larger number of individuals receiving environment education: from 20,400 people a year (according to current data as of December 31, 2008) to 38,430 people a year (as of December 31, 2014).

• Earth Day (April 22) • World Environment Day (June 5);• Car-free day (September 22)• International Black Sea Day (October 31).• Dedicated environmental local TV

programme (Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee) will improve environmental awareness of the city's residents.


30

Improve environmentally-oriented educational level, professional skills and knowledge of the participants of the preparation and implementation stages of the Olympics

In 2009 Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee in Moscow and Sochi-based offices were transferred to resource and energy saving mode. This measure is a part of the Sochi 2014 Environmental Strategy and of the programme called for increasing environmental awareness and commitment. In addition to that, a waste management scheme was introduced in these offices.

The main results of the projects are as follows:− Restrictions on the use of paper media have been introduced: − FSC paper use for internal document flow;− duplex printing;− Introduction of energy saving rules;− Introduction of water saving rules;− Separate waste collection and disposal system was introduced (primarily for waste paper).

To decrease the risks of environmental law violation the following measures should be introduced: dedicated programme to acknowledge the progress in eco-efficient cutting-edge solutions; quarterly reports on complying with environmental requirements and on minimized environmental impact;Responsible executivesin the Programme for Olympic Venues Construction are now implementing environmental management systems and certify them to comply with ISO 14001 (standard ISO 14001:2001; GOST R ISO

14001-2007). At this stage Olympstroy SC, Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee and several other responsible executivesin the Programme for the Olympic Venues construction implement environmental management system that complies with ISO 14001:2004 standard. This step will help to make the whole management system — from choosing a contractor and designing it, to organizing the construction and use of facilities — accord with the principles of sustainability, comprehensive use and preservation of natural resources.The main goals of environmental management system implementation are as follows:− Reduce negative environmental impact;− Make enterprises more environmentally efficient;− Decrease the amount of waste and recycle it.

Starting from May 2009 all contracts between responsible executivesin the Programme for Olympic Venues Construction and contractors of «Olympstroy SC» contain additional environmental requirements to construction. These measures will trigger the optimization process for energy and natural resources consumption, and decrease the risk of violations of the Bid Book requirements for «green» construction.The Work Group for the Best Available Technology (BAT) should hold meetings to assess whether the project designs for Olympic Venues comply with the best available technologies. These meetings will help to improve the quality of the sites being built and the environmental awareness of the responsible executives' employees..

Organizing Committee «Sochi 2014» — Autonomous Non-commercial Organization “Organizing Committee of XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Winter Paralympic Games of 2014 in Sochi».
