With only week left until the start of the Olympic Games, the Seine river is clean enough to host the Olympic rowing and swimming competitions in the middle of the city. For the last 100 years and even until a few weeks ago this would have seemed impossible because it was too polluted! With the goal on the horizon of organizing the Olympics on the Seine France invested greatly into restoring the river. The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, showed last week that the river is clean enough to swim. This shows that we can do great things if we put our minds to it. 👊 During the 3th #FutureisNow event on the 4th of September, Tim Rotteveel and ex prof paralympic swimmer Thijs van den End will dive deeper into the importance of clean urban water and the role sports can play to achieve that. After their presentation students will join a case to develop strategies to raise awareness about swimmability and clean water among people not directly involved in the water sector. Next to above themes pro athlete Simone van de Kraats and Scipio Houtman will talk about healthy plant based nutritions and healthy lifestyle . Enough reasons to sign up for the event so please check it out and sign up before the 30th of August!  https://lnkd.in/e-9aHnZp Sonja Janmaat, Sorbonne Université, Nederlandse Ambassade in Frankrijk, Université Paris Cité , #ClimateGames #thefutureisnow #wateraction #Wavemakersunited #swimmablerivers Li An Phoa, Drinkable Rivers Frodo Van Oostveen

A great achievement for ambassador of Innovation Diana Virgovicova - who just won a great investment competition! Having a good idea is one thing, but seeking investment is what fresh entrepreneurs of start-ups often struggle with and too often good ideas end up waiting on the shelf. The world needs innovations and solutions to solve the climate crisis so let's work together, dare to share your knowledge and work together where we can! 👊 Congrats once again Diana! And we're happy and proud to see your project is moving forward! #innovation #WavemakersUnited #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #wateraction

Let’s recap the #ClimateGames mindset: Focus on sustainable innovations, opportunities to work together with the aim to improve every day! A great example is the purpose and design of the Aquatic Centre in Paris: the municipality didn’t want to build any new sport facilities in the city… apart from one -  the Aquatic Centre.  Architect Ton Venhoeven explains why and what the legacy of the centre should become!  #aquaticcentre #climategames #OlympicGames #Paris2024 Nederlandse Ambassade in Frankrijk, Simone van de Kraats #swimmingpool #stDenis

With the opening of the Olympic Games coming closer day by day, the world’s eyes are slowing facing towards the Olympic Games in Paris which brings opportunities to address important themes that goes beyond the sport. A great example is the mission of Merijn Tinga ~ Plastic Soup Surfer, who just finished his symbolic stand-up paddle-board race from London to Paris to stop single-use plastic!  ♻️⛔. Last weekend he joined the conference in L’ academie du Climat which was the start to a task force of municipalities, industry and NGOs to work out the next steps to introduce deposits in France! Way to go Merijn! 🌊 #CLIMATEGAMES #legacyofparis #ClimateGames #sustainablegames #plastic #depositreturn.  Nederlandse Ambassade in Frankrijk
