U.S. still hasn't learned its climate lesson, says Swiss environmentalist

Environmental protection is not a sacrifice or a path to economic decline, said famed Swiss environmentalist Bertrand Piccard.

He argued that it is about becoming more efficient, smarter and ultimately more profitable.

Piccard lamented that the U.S. has yet to learn this lesson, stressing that real climate action should unite everyone around business-driven, profitable solutions.
