A town in the Arctic Circle of Finland has made a name for itself to bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics in order to widely appeal the crisis of global warming.
Salla, an Arctic town with a population of more than 3,000, in the Lapland region of northern Finland has made a name for itself to host the Summer Olympics.
The temperature in winter can be -50 degrees Celsius, but as part of a campaign calling for global warming countermeasures, it will be possible to compete in the summer in the town if global warming continues as it is, in 2032, 11 years later. Announced that it aims to bid for the summer Olympics.
The video posted on the town's homepage shows a beach volleyball player and a shot put player in a snowy landscape, with an ironic message saying, "Thanks to carbon dioxide, snow will turn into sand." ..
In addition, as the mascot of the competition, we have introduced an illustration of a reindeer that cannot move due to the heat, and on the map of the competition venue, due to the progress of global warming, ▽ the frozen lake melts and swims, ▽ on the ski jumping hill. It is said that sports climbing will be possible.
On the other hand, it also states that "to save Salla" can be done as a measure against global warming, such as introducing renewable energy and refraining from using airplanes.
Mayor Parkinen, who met last month, complained, "We want to continue living as usual," and the call for global warming countermeasures in the name of the bid for the Olympic Games has become a hot topic.
