Another future is possible: join the Climate Impulse mission



A Message from Bertrand Picard

Dear Friends,

You followed Solar Impulse — you believed an airplane could fly around the world powered only by the sun — and you were right.

Today, we invite you to be part of a new pioneering mission: Climate Impulse — the first-ever attempt to fly non-stop around the world with zero emissions, powered entirely by green hydrogen. Discover this unique aircraft currently being built.

More than a technological feat, Climate Impulse is an invitation for everybody to rethink progress, envision a more respectful future, and spark collective engagement. It shows that sustainable progress is not only possible — it’s already happening.

Step inside the mission. Get exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and a front-row seat to this historic adventure.
