Jutta Paulus (née Wege, born 9 May 1967) is a German politician Bündnis90/Die Grünen and natural scientist, as well as former managing director of the laboratory LAUS GmbH in Kirrweiler/Pfalz. Since 2019, she is a Member of the European Parliament for Greens/EFA.[1] Politico Europe magazine ranks Paulus among the most important politicians and policy makers in the European Union in the implementation of the European Green Deal.[2]

Early life and education

Paulus graduated from Herderschule Gießen in 1986. She completed her studies in pharmacy at the University of Marburg in 1990 and moved to Neustadt an der Weinstraße. She received her licence to practise as a pharmacist in 1991. Since her marriage in 1991, she has used the name Jutta Paulus, which she kept even after her divorce in 2023.

From 1991 to 1998, she worked in a public pharmacy. At the same time, together with two chemists, she set up Labor LAUS GmbH in Neustadt an der Weinstraße as a laboratory for environmental and pollutant analysis, which moved to Kirrweiler in 2006.[3] From 1999 to 2012, she acted there as managing director and until 2014 as head of quality assurance. From 2015, she worked in the Quality and Project Management staff unit and as Head of the Central Archive at the Marienhausklinikum Hetzelstift until she moved into the European Parliament in June 2019. Jutta Paulus lives with her partner in Neustadt an der Weinstraße.

Political career

Paulus joined the Green Party in 1987. Following the 2016 state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, she was part of her party's delegation in the negotiations on a coalition government under Minister-President Malu Dreyer. From 2017 until 2019, she co-chaired the Green Party in Rhineland-Palatinate, alongside Josef Winkler.

Paulus became a Member of the European Parliament in the 2019 elections. She has since been serving on the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. In this capacity, she has been the Parliament's rapporteur on CO2 emissions in the maritime sector (2019)[4] and on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector (2023).[5] In 2022, she also joined the Special Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7]

In addition to her committee assignments, Paulus is part of the Parliament's delegation for relations with Japan.[8] She is also a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Anti-Corruption[9] and the European Parliament Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development.[10]

In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the 2021 German elections, Paulus was part of her party's delegation in the working group on environmental policy, co-chaired by Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter, Steffi Lemke and Stefan Birkner.[11]

Political positions

In May 2021, Paulus joined a group of 39 mostly Green Party lawmakers from the European Parliament who in a letter urged the leaders of Germany, France and Italy not to support Arctic LNG 2, a $21 billion Russian Arctic liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, due to climate change concerns.[13]
