Today there are many technologies and sustainable solutions available on the market, however they are dispersed and inaccessible. The objective of the Climate Show is to bring together these technologies for three days, in order to enable stakeholders of this sector to meet and exchange views and ideas around future climate safe solutions.
During this exhibition, industry professionals will present their technologies and know-how in the fields of renewable energy, eco-building, sustainable mobility, circular economy, climate mitigation and other related services. The Climate Show Market, the official online-selling international platform of the Climate Show supported by CleantechAlps has been developed with the aim to facilitate the export of Swiss companies and to help them to sell their sustainable products and services at the international level.

What is the agenda?
Different organizations will participate such as the Group on Earth Observations (the program of Geosatellites data for climate change measure), the Copernicus (the European Union program for climate change monitoring) the State of Geneva, which will present and demonstrate Geothermie2020, its project to promote geothermal energy on the territory of Geneva, as well as PrimeEnergy Cleantech, a Swiss company financing solar photovoltaic installations, of which Bertrand Piccard is the ambassador.
Workshops open to all
The question of the concrete realization of practical and accessible actions in the face of the issue of global warming is more relevant than ever and is addressed to everyone. Thus, more than twenty workshops are on the agenda of the International Climate Show. Among others, the international workshop on the recovery of food waste will highlight key elements related to the technical and legal challenges in the recovery of food waste. The issue of the impact of global warming on the oceans will be addressed in a second workshop with the participation of Geomar, one of the leading marine research centers. In addition, the inescapable issue of renewable energies will also be the subject of a separate workshop. The full program of the workshops can be found here.
High-level speakers
As part of the Climate Show, many conferences will be given. The inauguration will be led by the State Counsellor of the Canton of Geneva, Mr. Luc Barthassat. Renowned speakers include Mr. Bertrand Piccard, Professor Thomas Stocker, a Swiss physicist and climate expert, Professor Martin Beniston, a climatologist professor at the University of Geneva and vice-president of one of the working groups of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Nobel Peace Prize 2007, as well as Ms. Barbara Ryan, Director of the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO). The debate will be moderated by former Swiss TV RTS journalist, Colin Xavier.
