Winter sports need SNOW, not fossil fuels. Letting Eni sponsor the Winter Olympics is absurd.

Oil and gas companies are melting the very conditions athletes depend on, then using the Games to greenwash their image.

The International Olympic Committee should drop fossil fuel sponsors.

‘Absurd’: Greenpeace Calls Out Winter Olympics Sponsorship With Fossil Fuel Giant Eni
“Oil & gas like Eni drive the climate crisis, then sponsor the Winter Olympics & Paralympics to greenwash their image,” Greenpeace Italy said.

Greenpeace Italy has urged the organizers of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy’s Alps to end their “absurd” partnership with Italian oil and gas giant Eni.

As one of the world’s largest contributors to planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, Eni has been accused of using the event to greenwash its image while playing a key role in driving the climate crisis.

At this rate, over half of today’s #WinterOlympics host locations could be unviable by the 2080s.

Demand the IOC cut ties with oil and gas sponsors:
