The Solar Impulse Foundation and its partners are dedicated to improving the quality of life on Earth by fast-tracking the implementation of clean and profitable solutions to encourage decision makers to adopt more ambitious environmental targets and policies. Solar Impulse Foundation chairman Bertrand Piccard explains why technology is an urgent necessity for adressing climate change and how it fits into the broader scheme of sustainability.

Bertrand Piccard is a psychiatrist and serial explorer who made history by accomplishing two aeronautical firsts – flying around the world non-stop in a balloon, and more recently in a solar-powered airplane. Pioneering a view of ecology through the lens of profitability, he has been promoting renewable energies and clean technologies as Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation since the early 2000s, successfully selecting 1000 profitable solutions that protect the environment and support clean growth.
