Voyage for Cleaner Energy
2041 and the Voyage for Cleaner Energy is at the COP 15 7-18 December 2009
Starting on the west coast of the USA in April 2008 and powered by clean technology, our sailboat ‘2041’ embarked on a global ‘Voyage for Cleaner Energy’.
The Voyage has so far taken us from the west coast of the USA, through the Panama Canal to the east coast. In 2009, ‘2041′ will continue the Voyage to Europe, Russia, India, China, and will end at the World Summit for Sustainable Development in 2012.
Voyage for Cleaner Energy Phase I
In each nation Robert Swan will motivate individuals, companies and communities to take decisive action and affect positive change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At each port of call we will demonstrate the use and benefits of renewable energy as an affordable alternative to carbon-based fuels. There will be a focus on engaging young people through presentations at schools, colleges and universities.
Our call to action will be to inspire and connect young upcoming leaders from universities together with established leaders from corporations and industry. This International Alumni will work closely with local and global communities to affect personal change and influence government policy.
