India outlined Delhi’s preparations for the Games and the expected benefits for itself and the Commonwealth countries. “Environment is a critical component today. Recognising this we will strive towards reducing the carbon footprint to establish the first ever green Commonwealth Games and thus become the benchmark for all multi-disciplinary games in the future,” Kalmadi said.
