About Alexander King Scientist
- Alexander King (26 January 1909 – 28 February 2007) was a British scientist and pioneer of the sustainable development movement who co-founded the Club of Rome in 1968 with the Italian industrialist Aurelio Peccei.
- The Club was one of the first institutions to voice concerns about the impact on the environment of unprecedented economic growth in the twentieth century.
- “Peccei and King were lonely prophets at a time of overwhelming optimism,” who did much to push environmental issues on to the political agenda.
- At the time of the Club’s founding, King was Director-General for Scientific Affairs at the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
