The story of #futureisclean

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.

Bertrand Piccard, Initiator, Chairman and Pilot of Solar Impulse:

This airplane was not built to carry passengers but to carry a message. Flying around the world with no fuel demonstrates that we can reach incredible goals with clean and energy efficient technologies. Let’s use them also on the ground!

André Borschberg, Co-Founder, CEO and Pilot of Solar Impulse:

Solar Impulse has been flying day and night non-stop using renewable energy and energy efficient technologies. In the same way, their use could make our world more energy efficient enabling us to reduce carbon emissions. On a considerable scale. No need to wait for tomorrow as we demonstrated it.'

Kofi Annan, Former Secretary General of the United Nations, Nobel Prize Laureate:

The destructive toll that human activity inflicts on our precious ecosystems is no longer sustainable; prosperity built on destruction is not prosperity at all, but only a temporary reprieve from tragedy. We must instead look ahead and promote, clean, alternative, renewable sources such as solar and wind

MANIFESTO: SOLVING CLIMATE CHANGE
WITH 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:

Don't ask people to sacrifice their life style, give them efficient energy devices

Instead of always focusing on producing more energy, let's save energy by implementing the most energy efficient devices existing today.

Push the transition to renewable energy resources

The climate is changing faster than at any time in human history, due in large part to the use of fossil fuels. Transitioning rapidly to a future fuelled by renewable energy is the single most effective way to stave off catastrophic climate change. Fortunately this can be done – in fact is already being done in many countries – in a cost-neutral way using technology available today, creating on average more new jobs than those being lost in the waning fossil fuel industries. Renewable energy is good for the climate, good for the economy, and good for business.

Focus on education

Although we have already been able to do great things with solar power, innovative efficiency solutions and global investments, the thing that gives me most confidence is the new generation of committed experts emerging from institutions like the Masdar Institute
