Organisers in the French capital had planned not to install air conditioning in athletes' rooms as part of environmental efforts.

This has reportedly led to concerns from some delegations who are worried about a possible heatwave, however.

Le Parisien has reported that Paris 2024 officials have now proposed bringing in temporary air conditioning units - but only for countries who are willing it to expense it themselves.

However, Hidalgo has announced she is against the plan.

The Village, in Seine-Saint-Denis, has been designed to cool using geothermal energy and Hidalgo has the vision of hosting carbon neutral Games.

"The buildings were designed to face the climate of 2050," she told the newspaper. 

"I will not go back on these ambitions.

"I can guarantee you that we will not change course and that there will be no changes to the programme."

Nearly 15,000 athletes and other staff are due to stay in the Village during the Paris 2024 Olympics.

It is claimed that its site next to the Seine means it will also benefit from the river's cooling impact.

During a heatwave of 39°C, the Village interior is said to be able to maintain temperatures of 28°C.

But France's delegation believes the maximum temperature for athletes should be 26°C, otherwise optimum conditions for peak performance begin to decrease.

Officials hope carbon emissions in the Village will drop by 45 per cent when compared to an air conditioned building.
