ZERI is a global organisation that brings together creative thinkers worldwide, aiming to address the pressing and emerging challenges our planet faces.
The success and growth of ZERI STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) from the unwavering determination of its members. What others view as unattainable goals, ZERI members see as milestones to be reached. Guided by creativity and scientific rigour, every member of ZERI shares a common vision: to seek sustainable solutions to global issues, impacting diverse regions, including remote areas and eco-conscious businesses worldwide.
ZERI's team consists of professionals and experts from various industries, all contributing their creativity towards sustainable development. The collective vision is to utilise local resources to meet everyone's basic needs. ZERI promotes innovative business models that generate multiple benefits, such as job creation and increased productivity. By identifying and refining opportunities, we transform them into actionable solutions. ZERI has a strong ethical commitment to open-source solutions, believing that no initiative aimed at building a better world should be restricted by proprietary agreements.
Over the past 20 years, ZERI has connected five continents through nearly 200 projects that demonstrate the potential of zero emissions. We provide governments with insights into industrial development, guide companies toward market niches, and offer communities strategies for accumulating social capital. The ZERI Foundation serves as an economic barometer, identifying high-growth industries for the next decade. When crises arise, while many businesses struggle, others thrive—who will be the future job creators? What innovations will reshape business models? What new business paradigms will emerge to change the game?
World's Leading Innovation Think Tank
The University of Pennsylvania conducted a global think tank ranking, and the Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives (ZERI) was ranked among the top 10 "most innovative policy ideas/proposals" think tanks in the world, securing the 7th position.
ZERI extends its gratitude to all those who have challenged and inspired us along the way. We have surpassed all major German policy research institutions and are now recognized as the best research institution in Asia. Our friends at "Development Alternatives," led by Ashok Khosla in India, have also ranked highly. Congratulations to Ashok!
The zero-emissions concept, first introduced by ZERI in 1991, is gaining widespread adoption, but most importantly, we are making real progress on the ground through hundreds of concrete initiatives. Perhaps our greatest impact lies in distributing millions of fable stories related to the environment and sustainability to children worldwide, especially in China, in dozens of languages. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest long-term policy initiatives ever undertaken.
