Airbus Foundation joins forces with the Solar Impulse Foundation to boost climate action

The partnership is dedicated to identifying and accelerating the adoption of scalable nature-based* projects that address pressing global challenges.

Through the partnership, successful applicants will have access to a wealth of resources including Airbus’ aerospace capabilities, like satellite data for earth observation and helicopters for efficient aerial assessment and verification. These capabilities will enable the selected projects to address critical societal issues, from ecosystem degradation to water security and natural disaster risk to solutions like satellite environmental monitoring systems.

Bertrand Piccard, Initiator and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation says, “By combining aerospace technology with nature-based solutions, we can turn innovation into impact. Our partnership with the Airbus Foundation demonstrates how advanced capabilities like satellite imagery can help restore ecosystems, support economic development, and build climate resilience where it’s needed most.”

Solar Impulse Foundation will deliver expertise in identifying, assessing and promoting nature-based solutions to achieve the greatest impact. They will provide access to an extensive network of cleantech organisations and play an advocacy role in engaging with decision makers to promote sustainable policy change.
