Universität Innsbruck<p>Zwei Forscher untersuchten die Klimabedingungen für 93 mögliche Austragungsorte Olympischer Winterspiele: „Beim Erreichen der Pariser Klimaziele sind in den 2050er-Jahren noch 50 der 93 Orte für die olympischen Winterspiele ausreichend schneesicher, und 42 in den 2080er-Jahren.
