Can we rethink a world where everyone has access to clean air, water and food? A world where economies focus on health and well-being? Where cities are livable, and where people have control over their health and the health of the planet?
In the midst of a pandemic, a polluted planet, and a rise in diseases such as cancer, asthma, and heart disease, WHO, on World Health Day 2022, will focus the world's attention on the urgent steps that must be taken to safeguard human and global health and to build a movement towards wellness societies. According to WHO estimates, each year more than 13 million deaths worldwide are attributable to preventable environmental causes. This includes the climate crisis, which is the greatest health threat facing humanity. Indeed, the climate crisis is also a health crisis.
Action has been taken, notably at the end of 2021 in Glasgow where the governments of 50 countries, which are among the most exposed to the deleterious health consequences of climate change as well as among the largest carbon emitters, committed to take concrete steps to design climate-resilient health systems. Forty-five of these countries have also committed to transforming their health systems to be more sustainable and low-carbon. Fourteen of them have set a goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
More than 90% of people breathe polluted air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. Pollution and plastics end up at the bottom of the deepest oceans, in the highest mountains, and have entered our food chain. So solutions must be found quickly. Cleaning up the oceans and seas, finding new energies to move around, is becoming a priority. In this perspective of changing the world, we accelerate disruptive startups in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab. Let us introduce you to H2 Clipper and Clean Sea Solutions!
Reducing the amount of plastic waste in the seas and oceans is an important issue of today and tomorrow. A challenge perfectly understood by Clean Sea Solutions which develops a robot capable of recovering and recycling waste in the shoreline areas, the main exit point of waste to our seas and oceans. The company develops innovative, autonomous stationary solutions designed to collect plastic waste on the surface and underwater, whether in lakes, canals, rivers and river mouths, harbors, marinas and other waterfront areas. Clean Sea Solutions' technologies reduce plastic pollution and thus contribute to the preservation of the oceans. They also improve the quality and sustainability of water resources by reducing the impact of plastic waste. They just introduced their latest floating waste station a few weeks ago that will create a "trash can" in the sea. A station designed to accommodate recreational boats and reduce waste.
One of the other important issues is to reduce fossil fuels. This requires an evolution of our means of transport and in particular the means of transport of goods. Does this seem impossible to you? Don't worry, H2 Clipper is working on the right solution: transport airships. Since 2008, this startup has been working on a solution that would reduce transportation costs, both financial and CO2 costs. The result is an airship with unprecedented speed, payload, and cost advantages: 70% less than the cost of traditional air freighters, payloads up to 277 tons (252 tonnes), 7 to 10 times faster than shipping by truck or cargo vessel, and 100% carbon-free.
