As a reminder, the Paris Region is the leading public funder of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games after the French government. It has invested more than €500m to finance transport, sports facilities, green spaces, housing and to contribute to safety measures. The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be the first Games in history to be 100% accessible by carbon-free public transport. Lastly, the Paris region is Europe's leading economic region and the third largest in the world, accounting for 30% of the country's GDP and with strong international appeal. The Paris Region is active in most of the areas that affect the daily lives of its 12 million inhabitants: transport infrastructure, but also high schools, the region's ecological transition and economic development. It is pursuing a development policy that places the decarbonisation of its economy at the heart of its priorities, with an investment of over €10 billion.
