Concrete solutions for a clean future
"The Solar Impulse project seems perfectly in line with the “spirit”of our program. MaGER provides the right space and scientific framework to stimulate creative and innovative thinking, contributing to unlock students ’visionary potential for a positive change towards a greener future." - Prof. Matteo Di Castelnuovo, MaGER Director.
The latest fall in global oil prices may suggest that we might be entering a new phase of an energy system transition. This December, the World’s leaders will meet in Paris to achieve an agreement on climate change. However, change does not come through only via legislation and treaties. Technology is much equally if not more important in driving it and there is fundamental evidence that increasingly cleaner technologies are being developed worldwide. Hence, MaGER, Bocconi’s Master in Green Management, Energy and Corporate Social Responsibility support to the #FUTUREISCLEAN campaign.
Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg are attempting the first round-the-world solar flight, an adventure to promote the use of clean technologies.
Clean technologies used on the solar aircraft could be used on the ground and reduce 50% of our world’s energy consumption... as of today. But for this, we need political courage and pioneering spirit.
We launched the #futureisclean initiative to create a federation of organizations pushing the replacement of old polluting devices by existing clean technologies.
Join Bertrand Piccard’s approach to show that climate change is not an expensive problem requiring heavy financial and behavioral sacrifices, but rather a unique opportunity for profit and job creation:
Just like onboard Solar Impulse, solutions already exist to reduce energy consumption. We have gathered 357 organizations around this initiative. Some of them sent the solutions they wanted to promote at COP21.
