Environmental Certified Games
Our ambition is to arrange the most environmental World Transplant Games. We will use a biogas fuelled fleet of busses and cars. Six out of thirteen sports are within walking distance from hotels and from Games Centre. In the City all participants can use trams and all hotels are within walking distance from City Centre, shopping malls, amusement park, museums etcetera. All Hotels also have a special environmental program for laundry, waste etc. Games Office will reduce use of paper and all registration will be done electronically. The 18th World Transplant Games will be environmental certified and every part of the Games program will be examined by an appointed person who also will be responsible for achieving our environmental goals.
Transports
Because of the closeness to all arenas and hotels there will be a minimum of transportation on busses and by cars. We will provide busses to and from the airport for the arriving teams, to and from the golf tournament and to and from the cycling.
All busses and cars used during the Games are environmental friendly, as they will be driven on biogas or ethanol. The trams are all driven by electricity and are already used by general public.
