“Ensuring a sustainable approach to building the Games will help ensure London's 2012 is remembered not only as two weeks of fantastic sporting action, but also as the greenest Games to date”. David Higgins, Chief Executive, ODA
Sustainability underpins the London 2012 programme, and through the design and construction of venues and infrastructure, along with the planning of the Games' operations, it is imperative that all involved parties shape the Olympics' legacy to bring far-reaching economic, social and environmental benefits across the country.

Topics for examination will include:
