Concrete solutions for a clean future
“With the help of frontier knowledge and state-of-the-art technology the dream of a clean world will come true. CASTS supports FUTUREISCLEAN initiated by Solar Impulse II because there is a perfect match in the aspect of innovation spirit and the pursuit of sustainability.”- Jianhua Feng, President of CASTS
The Chinese Association for Science and Technology in Switzerland (CASTS) is a non-profit organization among Chinese professionals in Switzerland. We more than 700 registered members and 2000 contacts distributed all over the Switzerland. Over 50% of which holds a Ph.D degree and 90% of which holds a master degree. It is the leading institution dedicated to facilitate fruitful dialogue and intellectual exchange between academic institutions and applied industry and to promote bilateral communication and collaboration of science and technology between Switzerland and China.
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.
The vote is now over, here are the top 5 solutions you voted for!
