Solutions to fight Climate Change
1000+ profitable solutions to protect the environment
To address environmental challenges without compromising economic growth, Bertrand Piccard and the Solar Impulse Foundation have identified 1000+ clean and profitable solutions, and are now committed to going even further. By offering political and economic decision-makers a Guide to Solutions that can be implemented on a large scale, the Foundation will help them establish a roadmap for the adoption of much more ambitious energy and environmental programs and thus achieve their carbon neutrality objectives.

Solutions exist that are logical more than just ecological, that can create jobs and generate profit while also reducing polluting emissions and preserving natural resources.

Solutions for Cities
The Solutions for Cities Initiative
Proposing solutions to help decision makers harness the economic opportunities of the ecological transition whilst reducing their environmental footprint.
A cornerstone of the Initiative is the report Solutions Guide for Cities that was officially released at COP27 and which focuses on key challenges faced by mayors, public administrations, private companies and citizens to advance the adoption of climate solutions in cities. It highlights case studies of Labeled Solutions that have been successfully tested or implemented in urban environments.
Since identifying solutions is only part of the puzzle, an additional section powered by organizations (below) focuses on systemic enablers that allow cities’ practitioners to go from their urban vision to concrete sustainable solutions implementation.

Fear in the City
Cities are responsible for 75% of global CO2 emissions, but it should be remembered that they also generate 80% of global GDP. Faced with climate change, their decision-making power is therefore considerable.

‘Prêt à Voter’
50 ‘Prêt à Voter’ proposals
Beyond solutions, it is the regulatory framework that drives environmental protection forward. Bertrand Piccard promotes a realistic and unifying ecology having been campaigning for many years to encourage the modernisation of legislation, in line with technological developments, to facilitate the emergence of clean solutions on the market.
With the Solar Impulse Foundation, he is launching the ‘Prêt à Voter’ initiative and submitting 50 legislative recommendations to the members of the French Parliament and Ministerial Cabinet. Each recommendation is based on an existing French innovation with the goal of supporting communities and companies in their green transition.
