MUMBAI : The International Olympic Committee executive board on Friday approved a proposal to pursue a double allocation of two successive Winter Games in 2030 and 2034 due to concerns over the threat of climate change on snow sports.

With temperatures rising across the globe, natural snow is becoming less plentiful in some regions and water availability for snowmaking is falling as a result of climate change, putting the global snow sport industry at risk.

"We need to address this dramatic impact of climate change," IOC President Thomas Bach told a press conference in Mumbai on the second day of the executive board meeting."This is a very complex issue and to address this in a proper way we need some more time. Bach said that the executive board agreed to the double-award proposal and it will be put to the IOC Session for further discussions. The IOC session will be held between Oct. 15-17, also in Mumbai.

Venues vying to hold the 2030 Games include Salt Lake City in the United States, Sweden, Switzerland and France.
