London 2012 claimed the Games will be the most sustainable in recent history. However, a Going for Green report claims a lack of electric vehicles, air pollution and renewable electricity targets were areas of concern.
The report praised London's 2012's approach to mapping its carbon footprint and its aim to reuse or recycle 90% of temporary materials.
Not securing more electric vehicles for the Olympic fleet was a "missed opportunity", the committee's report concludes.
It is still not clear how carbon emissions from travel to London will be reduced and a target on renewable electricity during the staging phase of the Games is unlikely to be met, the report states.
London's air quality, which has also not improved as hoped since 2005, is also said to be a "particular concern".
