The Agenda

The 25th Winter Olympics are now well under way in the Italian alps. By the time the games close, 2,800 athletes representing more than 90 Olympic Committees will have competed across 116 events in 16 disciplines.

And for the very first time events are taking place at two host cities - Milan and Cortina - in a bid to make this a truly sustainable gathering. But with climate change at the very heart of the conversation around winter sports - what might future games look like?

On this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Christophe Dubi, Olympic Games Executive Director at the International Olympic Committee, Daniel Scott Professor and Strategic Director for Climate Change Education in Environment at Canada's University of Waterloo, and Beau Welling, President of World Curling.
