European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) and Bertrand Piccard: Inspiring change for a sustainable tomorrow
Past
The global climate challenge looms larger than ever, requiring a comprehensive framework of technological advancements, behavioural, economic, and governmental transformations. While we possess the necessary technologies to address it, the true innovation lies in creating favourable conditions for the comprehensive adoption of these solutions. Driven by Bertrand Piccard, the Solar Impulse Foundation (SIF) identifies technological solutions that effectively reconcile environmental protection and economic growth. These solutions are then presented to decision makers from the public and private sector - Heads of State, ministers, city-level officials, as well as investors and company representatives - demonstrating how they can accelerate progress towards a carbon neutral economy.
