Episode description

On this installment of our series, The Road To COP26 Presented By Octopus Energy, we look at how to leverage science and technology to decarbonize the global economy with Bertrand Piccard, a legendary explorer, founder and chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, and first person to fly around the globe in a solar airplane. We discuss how to deploy sustainable solutions to improve people's lives and how to convince more people to join the fight for a better future.
