On 9 June 2016, Dr Piccard - Founder and Co-pilot Solar Impulse , UNEP Goodwill Ambassador - shared his energy and vision with ministers and other stakeholders at the eighth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference. In a live video message, he called for ambition in getting clean technologies onto the market, given that existing ones already allow global CO2 emissions to be halved. “Most of the time when we speak about climate change we speak about problems.. yet now we have the opportunity to speak of solutions,” he urged, with countries and organisations making over 100 pledges for the Green Economy transition at the event.
