Yann Arthus-Bertrand (1946) is a French environmentalist,
activist, journalist and photographer.
He has also directed films about the impact of humans on the
planet. He is especially well known for his book Earth from Above (1999) and
his films Home (2009) and Human (2015).
It is because of this commitment that Yann Arthus-Bertrand
was designated Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme
on Earth Day (22 April 2009).
Since 2008, he has participated in the board of directors of
the Fondation Chirac, a foundation launched in 2008 by former French President
Jacques Chirac in order to promote world peace through five advocacy
programmes, two of which deal with environmental issues such as access to fresh
water, desertification and deforestation.
