At COP30 in Belém, the Solar Impulse Foundation comes with one clear mission: to prove that efficiency is the most powerful lever for climate action. Through strategic collaborations and evidence-based innovation, we’re scaling up clean, profitable solutions that deliver tangible results. Among our key initiatives is the joint publication with the European Commission, ENERGY €FFICI€NCY: The Silent Money Maker, a showcase of real-world success stories where efficiency drives savings, and innovative financial mechanisms powers growth. Together with UNEP and the GlobalABC, we’re advancing the Catalogue of Climate Solutions for Buildings, a practical roadmap to reduce emissions in one of the world’s most resource-intensive sectors.

At COP30, we’re not just presenting solutions; we’re forging the collaborations that will make them the global standard. Because the future of sustainability depends on turning efficiency into action, and collaboration into impact.
