Sustainability speaker Robert Swan is one of the greatest adventurers and explorers we have today. He sought out the most inhospitable environments in the entire world to test his physical and mental capabilities. Robert Swan provides keynote speeches that are fascinating, inspiring, as well as engaging. These three major topics form the basis of his life’s work: leadership, inspiration, and thinking about the future of society, businesses, and the environment.

Speaker Robert Swan is the first man in history to ever walk to both South and North Poles. With the successful completion of his journeys to the North and South Poles, his life took on a new phase. During his trips, he witnessed the effect of environmental damage on the Polar icecaps. This inspired Swan to protect the Antarctic. As a result, he formed 2041, an organization that focuses on accomplishing this goal. Robert Swan has a unique ability to motivate others and get them involved. This is due to his natural presence and honesty and the numerous and noteworthy achievements he has accomplished.

Robert Swan’s speeches and expeditions are all focused on educating, engaging, as well as inspiring the next generation of leaders in the field of sustainable business generation, policy development, and new technology.

In March 2022, Robert along with a team of young leaders will head to Antarctica in support of the 2041 Mission.

In 2023, he should achieve a 35 year-long goal of crossing the whole of the Antarctic landmass. Up until now, Robert Swan has skied 1,460 nautical miles across the Antarctic.

Another one of Robert’s initiatives is The goal of the Climate Force challenge. The initiative wants to help us reach our goal of reducing 360 million tons of CO2 by 2025. Robert and his son use expeditions as a way to promote sustainable development.

Robert and his son work directly with educators, foundations, industry leaders, artists, sponsors, and outreach programs to provide individuals with the tools to create a positive impact.
