Ashurst Business Agenda Podcast · 2025-10-13 · 8 min
How can a mega-event like the Olympics become a catalyst for cutting emissions and building smarter cities? In this episode, Andrew McCormack is again joined by Ashurst Risk Advisory Director Mike Duggan to explore the Queensland Government's strategy for managing the environmental footprint of the Brisbane 2032 Games. Mike explains how every gram of carbon saved will count toward the Games' climate goals: "Every single ounce of carbon that we actually save is going to be reflected in the downward pressure we see on that carbon budget." The discussion covers practical innovations like decentralised energy systems, scalable efficiency measures, and how communities can co-create a low-carbon legacy. It also dives into the complexities of measuring long-term impact and why integration across legacy themes will be critical to lasting success.
