The Hawaiians lived on top of the mountains in the middle of the Blue Continent.© Over time they learned to nourish the land so that in turn the land would nourish them.

These ancestors lived the original Blue Economy. They understood that the Earth is an island; resources were limited, all things were related and everything needed to be cared for.

These ancestors lived the original Blue Economy. They understood that the Earth is an island; resources were limited, all things were related and everything needed to be cared for.

The wisdom of this approach is timeless. With common intent, with intuition and creativity, and with the tools of the day at hand we must re-create the economy we once lived by.

ALOHA & WELCOME TO THE WORLD CONGRESS ON ZERO EMISSIONSOur challenge is to change our future by redesigning our inefficient production and consumption patterns. We need to mimic the elegance and simplicity of the natural systems that create life on the planet.

Ancient knowledge and practices can help us re-integrate our relationship to Mother Earth by reconnecting us to the natural life of the universe. Simply put, by caring for the planet we care for ourselves.

ALOHA & WELCOME TO THE WORLD CONGRESS ON ZERO EMISSIONSAncient knowledge and practices can help us re-integrate our relationship to Mother Earth by reconnecting us to the natural life of the universe. Simply put, by caring for the planet we care for ourselves.

Acute observation, leaps of imagination and applied science will help us redesign what we make, how we make it and how we un-make it. These are the key ingredients of the Blue Economy, an engine that can power prosperity for all living things.

‘ANO‘AI ME kE ALOHA NuI! GREETINGS AND A WARM ALOHA!

As in all history there have been special times that have altered the course of mankind and we believe that now is one of those moments.

In light of the social, economic, political, and environmental structural collapse that many of us perceive, we believe that this is providing a great opportunity to look deeper into those common connections that we all share. Some call them universal values, some call them principles, some call them spirit. In Hawai‘i, we choose to call it Aloha. Aloha represents a life force that brings good, loving, thoughtful, and responsible energy to opportunities.

It is with this perspective that we are thanking you for being a part of this conversation. We invite you to bring all of your beliefs, knowledge, innovations, and hopes to share, most of all we invite you to energize those gifts with Aloha.

Mahalo a nui loa.

100 INNOVATIONS THAT COuLD CREATE 100 MILLION JOBS WITHIN 10 yEARSBy Gunter Pauli

Imagine 100 innovations that could generate 100 million jobs over the next decade. Over the next two years I will introduce these real opportunities one by one, on the basis of technologies proven by scientists to work, benchmarked as a business somewhere in the world, and ready to be intro-duced anywhere.

The 100 cases that are being released one after the other provide insights on how costs within

that core business model turn into multiple incomes applying a concept known as economies of scope. This clustering of value adding generates revenues that did not even exist. This is the core uniqueness of the competitive business models that are now released in the new book entitled: “The Blue Economy”.

Once entrepreneurs can generate multiple rev-enues, value and cash flow, then it is easier to understand why these innovations also create jobs. On top of that, since value is created out of something that had no value before, there is no substitution effect. The traditional economist will be surprised that higher productivity now equates with job creation.

While the generation of additional cash flow will be a main argument, the fact that the market leaders have limited means to formulate a competitive response turns the odds in favor of the entrepreneur.

Companies that have decades of experience and a loyal customer base worldwide,

supported by a stable cash flow and profit margins; will not easily hand over a major part of business to a newcomer. However, as postulated, these innovations change the rules of the game, often without openly informing the key players, taking them off guard and without the internal competences to respond.

The portfolio of opportunities based on these 100 cases is vast. More than one entrepreneur, more than one investor, more than one venture fund can take the initiative. That is the main reason for offering this inspiration open source.

The 100 cases offer an insight into an emerging economy–The Blue Economy–that is more

competitive, generates jobs, brings innovations that steer business towards sustainability and builds up social capital. Who would not like to join us?

Once entrepreneurs can generate multiple revenues, value and cash flow, then it is easier to understand why these innovations also create jobs.


We are so blessed that Daniel “Kaniela” Kahikina Akaka, Jr. Director of Cultural

Affairs, Mauna Lani Resort will share his mana‘o (his thoughts) and guidance with us during the opening ceremonies and protocol for The World Congress on Zero Emissions Initiatives.

Daniel “Kaniela” Kahikina Akaka, Jr. was born & raised in Nu‘uanu and Pauoa Valleys. He at-tended the Kamehameha Schools for 13 years. His educational career continued at the University of Hawai‘i where he received a Bachelors degree in the Hawaiian Studies Program.

Mr. Akaka is presently employed at the Mauna Lani Resort, on the Island of Hawai‘i, as the

Director of Cultural Affairs. His position at the resort allows him to share the history and culture of Hawai‘i with the hotel guests as well as the many school groups that come to Mauna Lani to learn about Hawaiian aquaculture as well as the history and stories of this ancient land known as Kalāhuipua‘a.

Mr. Akaka comes from a family of seven which include his parents. He and his wife, formerly Anna Lui-Kwan (KS Class ‘72), have chosen Kona to be their home. They have one daughter and four sons.

In keeping with the Hawaiian culture, he has had the opportunity to be a crewmember of the

Hokule‘a for three of its voyages. His first voyage with the canoe was in 1995 along the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Anna, in attendance. His second voyage was in 1999 in which he participated on the second leg of the voyage to Rapa Nui. His 3rd voyage was the completion of the voyage, Kū Holo Lā Komohana, which ended its journey in Yokohama, Japan. His position on the canoe was as the Protocol Officer. Mr. Akaka was also honored to be a participant on other canoe projects which included the making of the “Mauloa” canoe as well as working on the construction and sailing on the double-hulled canoe “Makali‘i”.

In his work today, Mr. Akaka is involved in perpetuating the culture, the essence, and the Spirit of Hawai‘i and Aloha.

CONGRESS pROTOCOL


The Aloha Spirit is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each

person to the Self. Each person must think and emote good feelings to others. In the contemplation and presence of the life force, Aloha, the following unuhi laulā loa (free translation) may be used:

Akahaimeaning kindness (grace) to be expressed with tenderness;

Lōkahimeaning unity, (unbroken) to be expressed with harmony;

‘Olu‘olumeaning agreeable, (gentle) to be expressed with pleasantness;

Ha‘aha‘ameaning humility, (empty) to be expressed with modesty;

Ahonuimeaning patience, (waiting for the moment) to be expressed with perseverance.

ALOHAWritten by Hawai‘i’s treasured kupuna, Auntie Pilahi Paki

“ The world will turn to Hawai‘i as they search for world peace because Hawai‘i has the key… and that key is Aloha!”

Auntie Pilahi Paki

These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawai‘i’s people. It was the working philosophy of native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawai‘i.

Aloha is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation.

Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return.

Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.

Aloha means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.


LOCALLy GROWN FOOD

Our goal is to provide 100% locally grown and produced foods from Hawai‘i with no importation of foods for you during The World Congress on Zero Emissions Initiatives.

The ancient Hawaiians had a highly developed food production system that enabled a robust population to nourish themselves over time. Today Hawai‘i imports 85% to 90% of its food. Our goal for the World Congress is to provide 100% locally grown and produced foods.

By supporting our local artisans, farmers, grow-ers and producers, we alleviate the need to import products and can eat fresh, healthy and nutritious foods. There is a growing movement towards local food security we are trying to support this effort and show that it can be done.


Hawai‘i is the only place in the united States that grows coffee and good coffee indeed. Coffee was introduced in the early 1800s and was grown up and down the island chain.

We are thankful for Eddie and Nancy Sakamoto for serving their Plantation Pride organic coffee in the exhibit area of The World Congress. Organic practices are followed in all the steps leading up to the harvest and through the roasting process. Since 1989, a portion of each harvest of peaberry is added to the previous year’s harvest. This age-ing process produces a beverage of unique and exclusive flavors.

Dealing with waste from coffee is talked about by Gunter Pauli in The Blue Economy in the story “Shiitake loves Caffeine.” The good folks at Cof-fees of Hawai‘i, Jessie Ford and Michelle Sim-mons, found another way to help to close the loop and use the cherry that encloses the coffee bean to make a tea they call Tisane. This is an innovative step toward rebuilding our own Blue Economy.

kE ALA O kA MAHINA Hawaiian Moon Calendar

These days, many people continue to rely on traditional Hawaiian knowledge as a guide for daily activities, including fishing and farming. ‘Ole Kū Kahi is traditionally a day for preparation and planning. Fishing and farming is unproductive.

This circular calendar offers a Hawaiian perspective on the flow of time. Its design reflects the relationships among the spiritual, natural and human realms. In Hawaiian culture, the mahina (moon) is an abode of the goddess Hina.

Our kūpuna (ancestors) used the phases of the mahina as a guide to sustain life and maintain balance in the environment.

How do the moon cycles affect you, your family and your environment?

Mahalo a nui loa! A big thank you to the

great minds and dedication of the planning committee, who have worked tirelessly for many months, bringing experts from near and far to The World Congress on Zero Emissions Initiatives. So much goes into the details “behind the scenes” it is hard sometimes to really appreciate what it takes.

Aloha to our dear friends, colleagues and volunteers for making this event a reality.

TO ACHIEVE OUR RENEWABLE ENERGY GOALS, WE MUST TAKE ALL THE RIGHT STEPS.

Only by harnessing a wide variety of renewable resources will we achieve a Clean Energy Future for Hawaii. That means investing in local resources like wind, sun, ocean, geothermal, biomass and biofuels. It means using energy more efficiently in our homes and businesses. By reducing our dependence on imported oil, we can keep millions and perhaps billions of dollarshere at home and create local jobs in many energy-related industries. To find out more about the steps we all must take, visit hawaiisenergyfuture.com.

Of course, the Hawai’i Convention Center is innovative in its own right, as Hawaiian culture blends flawlessly with hi-tech innova-tion.

“sails” on the roof direct cooling tradewinds into the towering structure. Lighting and air conditioning are computer controlled. and the building operates by LeeDS building standards.

The result undeniably embodies Hawai‘i’s culture, reflects its natural environment and provides an extraordinary venue that stimulates the free flow of people and concepts. attend-ees from corporations and associations alike find a refreshing atmosphere that fosters new thinking and encourages a productive and cre-ative exchange of ideas.
