Green transition can be profitable in Romania and beyond: An interview with Swiss innovator Bertrand Piccard

Our planet is going through a climate crisis that compels the world to change. Or, as Bertrand Piccard puts it, to modernize. The Swiss aviator and clean technology pioneer, together with his Solar Impulse Foundation, identified1,500+profitable solutions that countries worldwide, Romania included, can use to power their climate-safe future. And as he embarked on a trip to offer governments these innovations, he also made a stop in Bucharest, where we met for an exclusive interview.

"Today, thanks to technological evolution, the solutions to protect the environment are more profitable than the systems that destroy the environment. And that's a big change." - Bertrand Piccard, explorer, environmentalist leader and psychiatrist.
