Los Angeles was awarded the 2028 Games after an unusual dual awarding process by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which simultaneously granted Paris the 2024 Games. This decision followed the withdrawal of other candidate cities, leaving only Los Angeles and Paris in the running.
The organizers have pledged to make this the first “Energy Positive Games,” meaning they plan to generate more energy than the event consumes. This will be achieved through the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures
The 2028 Olympics are projected to cost around $6.88 billion, with funding primarily from the private sector, and is scheduled to run from July 14 to July 30, 2028.
