Paolo Buoni moved to Edinburgh UK at the turn of the century.
He was later awarded an Honours Degree by Edinburgh Napier University for his studies in Marketing and Management; topics he will use later in life, including for the work he accomplished with the United Nations (UNEP) to promote and manage sustainable practices and renewable energy education, upskilling and capacity building.
Paolo Buoni's first works included supporting blue-chip companies such as Sony and Kodak. In the following years, as environmental issues became increasingly predominant, Paolo, who has always had a natural and moral duty towards safeguarding the environment, decided that he was at the right stage to start his work for a major electronic-recycling company.
It was during this time that Paolo Buoni decided to make a contribution towards safeguarding the environment by promoting the use of renewable energy through education, knowledge sharing and Global Round tables through the organisations he founded, the European Energy EEC and the European Centre of Technology ECT and by working with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
Promoting adoption of renewable energy through training, international conferences with the United Nations and European seminars.
Forging connections with the United Nations and several other environmental organisations, including Centro Studi Galileo, the European Association AREA (which represents 19 members state associations, 9000 companies and 130,000 individuals working in the sector) and the Indian association TERRE Policy Centre, Paolo has been in charge of launching the Green New Deal with the United Nations-UNEP.
Through the European Energy Centre and European Centre of Technology, Paolo Buoni has been organising European Conferences on the Latest Technologies in Renewable Energy organised in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme. Paolo Buoni's launch of the Green New Deal in Italy saw an overall increase of 20 per cent of businesses adopting these new technologies. In January 2011, Paolo Buoni, alongside the United Nations Environment Programme launched a major European Conference on renewable energy, to launch the Green New Deal in the United Kingdom.
