The Munich 2018 Bid Committee has set itself the ambitious
goal of staging carbon neutral Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2018 and
establishing new standards in the ecologically sustainable conduct of major
sporting events. The video documentation illustrates the goals and most
important building blocks of the concept.

During its visit from 1 - 4 March 2011, the Evaluation
Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has examined Munich's
bid, and in this context also the subject area of "environment and
sustainability", with regard to its viability.

Boris Schwartz, Head of Environment and Sustainability of the
Munich 2018 Bid Committee, on the most important objectives: "We have three
core ideas: 1. Saving energy by improving efficiency. 2. Avoiding emissions
by using regenerative energy. 3. Compensating for what finally remains in
terms of burdens."

As a member of the Expert Group on evaluating compensation
measures, Martin Ewald from Allianz Climate Solutions comments on the three
step plan: "In practical terms, this means that activities which are as
energy efficient as possible should be combined with high quality local and
international compensation projects in the field of renewable energy."

The next "Living Bid Book" will be published on the subject of
"Security".
