Bertrand Piccard can be regarded as the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry of the 21st century. An adventurous explorer, relentless innovator, and visionary, Piccard is a Swiss psychiatrist and aviator. In 1999, he piloted the first balloon to fly around the world non-stop. In 2016, he completed the first global circumnavigation in a solar-powered electric aeroplane. And now, he's leading the Climate Impulse project, working towards the first non-stop, hydrogen-powered flight around the world. My Wildest Prediction is a podcast series from Euronews Business where we dare to imagine the future with business and tech visionaries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we talk to Bertrand Piccard, renowned Swiss explorer, psychiatrist and clean technology pioneer. He shares insights into his ambitious Climate Impulse project that aims to set a historic precedent by flying a hydrogen aircraft around the world non-stop in 9 days.Piccard achieved global recognition for completing the first non-stop balloon flight around the world and for co-piloting Solar Impulse, the first solar-powered aircraft to circumnavigate the globe. As the founder and chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, Piccard continues to advocate for environmental solutions and push the boundaries of sustainable technology. Piccard discusses:The Climate Impulse project, aiming to fly around the world non-stop using liquid hydrogen, showcasing the potential of zero-emission aviation.The technical aspects of the hydrogen-powered aircraft, including the challenges of storing liquid hydrogen at extremely low temperatures and the efficiency of fuel cells.His vision for the future of sustainable aviation, emphasising the need for a shift towards more efficient technologies and practices beyond just hydrogen power.His perspective on the current state of aviation, including his stance on ticket pricing and the need for a more sustainable approach to air travel.The lessons learned from his previous projects, including Solar Impulse, and how these experiences inform his current endeavours.Throughout the conversation, Piccard emphasises the importance of pushing boundaries in technology and human capability. Looking to the future, he expresses optimism about the potential of hydrogen in aviation, while acknowledging the challenges of implementation and the need for a holistic approach to sustainability in the industry.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea Global, who shares how the developer is spearheading a new model of eco-tourism on the west coast of Saudia Arabia.

Sie klebten sich Federn an Arme und Beine und stürzten sich todesmutig von Türmen und Hügeln. Sie bauten Segel aus Leinen und Seide und banden sich die künstlichen Flügel um den Bauch – wie viele Flugpioniere vor dem Beginn der modernen Luftfahrt auf diese Weise ums Leben kamen, ist nicht überliefert. Fliegen zu können wie ein Vogel, war ein jahrhundertealter Menschheitstraum. Doch es dauerte bis 1903, dass zum ersten Mal ein Motorflugzeug vom Erdboden abheben konnte. Von da an war die Entwicklung der Luftfahrt nicht mehr aufzuhalten. Spätestens nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und der Erfindung des Düsenjets wurde das Flugzeug zum wichtigsten Verkehrsmittel – zumindest über lange Strecken. Ein Podcast über die kreativen Pioniere und Pionierinnen der Luftfahrt, über die ersten Flugbegleiterinnen, den ersten Solarflug um die Welt und die Frage: Stimmt es, dass das Flugzeug der 1937 verschollenen US-amerikanischen Ausnahmefliegerin Amelia Earhart im Januar 2024 im Südpazifik gefunden wurde?

Bertrand Piccard est le premier à avoir fait le tour du monde en mongolfière sans escale et la première personne à avoir fait le tour du monde en avion solaire sans combustible. Il est également pionier dans sa manière d'aborder l'écologie sous l'approche de la rentabilité. Il est considéré l'un des grands leaders ayant une vision de futur dans les sujets visant l'innovation et la durabilité. Piccard est ambassadeur de Bonne Volonté des Nations Unies pour l'Environnement et conseiller spécial de la Commission européenne.

"Of course, it creates a lot of applause when you speak about the beauty of nature that you have flown over with your hot air balloon, solar airplane, or whatever, but it changes nothing because the language of the key decision-makers is not the language of the beauty of nature. It's the language of profit, job creation, and developing the economy.The goal now is not just to revolutionize energy, like with Solar Impulse. The goal with Climate Impulse is to revolutionize aviation and show that we can decarbonize aviation. We can make it more efficient. Of course, it's not yet a jumbo jet with hydrogen. It's a two-seater airplane. But I want to make the ultimate flight to shake a little bit the certitudes of the people. If we go around the world nonstop with two people on board, this project can become like a flagship of climate action."Bertrand Piccard is a notable Swiss environmentalist, explorer, author, and psychiatrist. His ventures include being the first to travel around the world in a non-stop balloon flight and years later in a solar-powered airplane. He is regarded as a pioneer in clean technology. Piccard is also the founder of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has identified over 1500 actionable and profitable climate solutions and connects them with investors. As a UN Ambassador for the Environment, his goal is to convince leaders of the viability of a zero-carbon economy, which he will demonstrate via his next emission-free project Climate Impulse, a green hydrogen-powered airplane that can fly nonstop around the earth.http://www.solarimpulse.comhttps://climateimpulse.org/https://bertrandpiccard.com/Photos:Bertrand Piccard with Ilham Kadri, CEO Syensqo (main technological partner of Climate Impulse)Bertrand Piccard @ Solar Impulse, Jean Revillard

As a UN Ambassador for the Environment, his goal is to convince leaders of the viability of a zero-carbon economy, which he will demonstrate via his next emission-free project Climate Impulse, a green hydrogen-powered airplane that can fly nonstop around the earth."In a lot of regions of the world, ecology has started to be a hostage of political parties. You have the left wing, which takes ecology as its flagship. You have the right wing, which is fighting against ecology because they want to fight against the left wing, and they use all the arguments of ecology to destroy ecology. It's very strange that the people who want to protect the environment are not able to make their cause much more appealing. This is what I try to do with the new narrative of the Solar Impulse Foundation: to show the opportunities more than the risks. To show the solutions more than the problems."http://www.solarimpulse.comhttps://climateimpulse.org/https://bertrandpiccard.com/Photos:COPSummitBertrand Piccard with Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCCVille de Demain exhibition, Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, Paris

Hot air balloons, or lighter-than-air craft, have been around for centuries. But it wasn't until March 1999 that humans were able to circumnavigate the entire world in a single hot air balloon flight. The two men who did it were British balloonist Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard, a Swiss psychiatrist and balloonist. They co-piloted a massive balloon called Breitling Orbiter 3, which launched March 1,1999 from Switzerland and landed in Egypt 19 days and 27,900 miles laer. In this interview recorded just a few months later, Piccard and Jones talk about their history-making adventure.

Les constats scientifiques ne laissent plus de doute : les beaux jours du ski sont derrière nous.La ressource naturelle dont il dépend - la neige - se raréfie, au point qu'il devient légitime de se demander si le ski n'est pas le premier sport victime du réchauffement climatique.Un contexte préoccupant qui interroge : peut-on skier aujourd'hui comme on skiait hier ?Quand le développement d'un sport dépasse les limites, doit-on y renoncer ?Finalement à qui profite la poursuite du ski ? Suivez-nous dans ce cinquième épisode de Vent Debout à la rencontre de Franck Piccard et de Valérie Paumier, pour mesurer le prix à payer de la poursuite du “tout-ski”.Lire le journal de bord : https://ventdeboutpodcast.fr/s01e05-le-sport-ourle-tout-ski-mais-a-quel-prix-avec-franck-piccard-et-valerie-paumier-2Vent Debout est soutenu par l'Institut National de l'Information Géographique et Forestière (IGN) Hébergé par Acast.

In 1922 2-year-old Pauline Piccard went missing from her home in Brittany, France. There were many suspects but it wouldn't be for a few months before the family had some answers that led to further questions.

In today's world, the term "ecology" often evokes images of sacrifice, expense, and inconvenience. In this final episode of our Climate Solutions series, renowned explorer and environmentalist, Bertrand Piccard explains why focusing on ecology is not only profitable but also exciting.Piccard is best known for his groundbreaking achievements in exploration: flying around the world in a solar-powered airplane and circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon. These adventures allowed him to witness the beauty and fragility of our planet firsthand, instilling in him a deep sense of responsibility to protect and preserve it. Talking to host, Sue Stockdale, who is also an explorer, Bertrand discusses the importance of giving ourselves permission to invent our future, highlighting how we are often trained to remain in our zone of comfort, which ultimately limits our potential for adventure and growth. He emphasises the need to step outside of our certainties and embrace the unknown in order to create the life and society we want and shape the future we desire.About Bertrand Piccard : Clean Tech Pioneer- Founder and President of the Solar Impulse FoundationBertrand Piccard is a pioneering spirit and an influential voice to encourage the implementation of efficient solutions. As one of the first, as early as the 2000s, to consider ecology from a profitability perspective, Bertrand Piccard is considered an opinion leader on the themes of innovation and sustainability. As President of the Solar Impulse Foundation, he promotes qualitative growth by demonstrating the economic potential of clean technologies. Denouncing the absurdity of the polluting and inefficient systems still too often used today, he pleads for the modernization of the legal framework in order to facilitate market access for efficient solutions. His voice is heard within the most important institutions, such as the United Nations, the European Commission, the World Economic Forum and his commitment has earned him several nominations, such as Champion of the Earth, and Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations.Connect with Bertrand Piccard via Twitter @bertrandpiccard and @solarimpulse and the Solar Impulse websiteKey QuotesI was born and raised into that vision of running scientific expeditions to protect the environment.It's wrong to say the sky is the limit. The real limit is the fuel.I wanted to identify in the world all the efficient solutions that are economically profitable to be able to protect the environment.We explore with my foundation, the best solutions, we explore new ways to make them known, we explore new ways to implement them, to create an enthusiasm around these solutions.Ecology is not anymore something expensive, boring and sacrificial. It is something exciting. It is something economically profitable. It's something that can bring people together.You have to give an incentive to people to change.If you see somebody who is afraid of changing, you have to show him that he has inside of himself all the tools, all the resources, all the potentials that can help him to do something differently. We have to show him that it's better to do it in another way.There was a time in exploration when it was new continents, then it was new planets. Now it's really how to live better on this planet, how to protect our planet, how to improve the quality of life, how to find new solutions.When we speak of solutions, it's important to understand that most of the time it's not high-tech solutions, it's common sense.Partners and SupportersWe partnered with the Royal Scottish Geographical Society to bring you this series.

Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier was one of two men who left the earth's surface and flew in Montgolfier's balloon for the very first time. He also designed a type of balloon that was given his name that flew using a combination of a lifting gas and hot air. More than 200 years later, his design would be used in the balloon that made the first non stop round the world flight.

Psychiatrist, aviator and explorer, Bertrand Piccard made history in 1999 by accomplishing the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon flight, and a number of years later the first round-the-world solar-powered flight. Piccard has dedicated his life to demonstrating sustainable development opportunities. He is Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has assembled a verified portfolio of over 1400 actionable and profitable climate solutions. As a pioneer of new ways of thinking that reconcile ecology and economy, he uses his exploration feats to motivate governments and industries to take action. He is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment, Special Advisor to the European Commission, and is author of Réaliste, Changer d'Altitude, and other books."So this is why I prefer to speak with a really down to earth language. So maybe the people who love nature are going to say, 'Oh, Bertrand Piccard, now he is too down to earth. He's speaking about profitable solutions. He's speaking to the industries that are polluting,' but we have to speak to the industries that are polluting and bring them profitable solutions, otherwise the world will never change, or humankind will never change. And don't forget one thing, what we are damaging is not the beauty of nature. What is being damaged is the quality of life of human beings on Earth because we can still have beautiful things to see, but if we have climate change, if we have tropical disease in Europe, if we have heat waves, floods, droughts, millions of climate refugees, life will be miserable, even if nature is still beautiful.”Solar Impulse Foundationbertrandpiccard.comSolar Impulse Solutions Explorer (1400+)RéalisteChanger d'altitudewww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.infoPhoto credit: Philipp Böhlen

What is being damaged is the quality of life of human beings on Earth because we can still have beautiful things to see, but if we have climate change, if we have tropical disease in Europe, if we have heat waves, floods, droughts, millions of climate refugees, life will be miserable, even if nature is still beautiful.”Psychiatrist, aviator and explorer, Bertrand Piccard made history in 1999 by accomplishing the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon flight, and a number of years later the first round-the-world solar-powered flight. Piccard has dedicated his life to demonstrating sustainable development opportunities. He is Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has assembled a verified portfolio of over 1400 actionable and profitable climate solutions. As a pioneer of new ways of thinking that reconcile ecology and economy, he uses his exploration feats to motivate governments and industries to take action. He is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment and Special Advisor to the European Commission.

“We have prepared a selection of solutions for the specific needs of cities – construction, ways to make buildings carbon neutral and much more efficient, new heating systems, mobility, of course, supply chains, waste management. We really focus on cities and would like to make an alliance of all cities interested in these solutions to start to use them and test them everywhere. So that's one of the actions we're doing now.”Psychiatrist, aviator and explorer, Bertrand Piccard made history in 1999 by accomplishing the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon flight, and a number of years later the first round-the-world solar-powered flight.

“All the holders of solutions, all the innovators could be a startup or a big company, can submit their solution to us, and the solution will be analyzed by our group of experts. We have external and independent experts, about 370 of them, and they will observe three criteria: Is it a solution that exists today and is credible today? Because we don't want to have vague ideas for the future. We want to have solutions for today. Then it needs to be economically profitable for the company who produces it and for the consumer. The people buying the solution must save money, otherwise it's not profitable. And it needs to protect the environment, either because it's much better than anything else existing today, or because it's clearly a new business opportunity to protect the environment.If you have these criteria that are all three positive, then the experts will give a recommendation that we give the label, and then they will receive the label. The Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label is currently the first and only label in the world that certifies the profitability of an environmentally friendly product.”Psychiatrist, aviator and explorer, Bertrand Piccard made history in 1999 by accomplishing the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon flight, and a number of years later the first round-the-world solar-powered flight.
