He has also worked as an author, notably of The Blue Economy. He assisted Aurelio Peccei, founder of the Club of Rome from 1979 to 1984 and later wrote a biography about him.[14]

In 1989 he was elected as an independent substitute to the European Parliament, but never took up the seat.[15]

Former chairman of Ecover, an ecological detergent company, before realizing in 1990 that its components – palm oil in particular – destroy primary forests, he is nicknamed the "Steve Jobs of sustainable development", or even the "Che Guevara of biodiversity ”, or “the apostle of sustainable growth ”.[16][17][18]

Blue Economy

[edit]

Gunter Pauli is committed to design and implement a competitive business model which respond to people’s needs using what is locally available. He introduced “The Blue Economy” philosophy in 1994 when asked by the United Nations to reflect on the business models of the future in preparation for COP 3 in Japan where the Kyoto Protocol was decided.[19][20]

ZERI (Zero Emission Research Initiatives)

[edit]

In 1994 Pauli founded the Zero Emissions Research Initiative (ZERI).[21]

Controversy

[edit]

In particular, the ZERI Foundation signed an agreement in 2016 with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Quimper to develop the concept of blue economy on the territory of the CCI. The CCI thus planned to pay €500,000 to the foundation for the identification and development of projects and job creation on the territory. In July 2018, the CCI announced the end of the agreement with the Foundation, questioning[22] [23] the content of the service provided by the Foundation.

In 2020 he made the headlines in the Italian press for controversial statements on the coronavirus,[24] including those – lacking scientific evidence – that see the 5G network connected to the Covid-19 epidemic.
