From medals made from recycled metals to podiums, athlete beds and even torches, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been hyped as the greenest games so far. Yet it is not without criticism as NGOs and experts have found evidence suggesting that all of this attention may just simply be greenwashing. In this week’s GreenBites, we will look at some of these concerns , discuss a climate forum held in Bangladesh, and talk about the reintroduction of the trawling ban in Indonesia.
