 Kia ora, Tefano My name is Daniel Price and this is me This is where I'm from and look at the the puku on that bad boy. It's literally the size of my head I'm my mother Was a singer and an actress in the West End and my father is an accountant So some days I'm an artist some days. I'm a geek but most days. I'm something in between and This this is my passion this place And this place is actually in a lot of trouble So what you're looking at here is the year-on-year buildup of energy heat Within our climate system driven by us over the last 200 years We've been pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and that outer red line that two degrees is where we lose control We're running out of time. I spent a long time studying this system My background is in climate science. These bad boys are my toys satellites flying around the planet 700 kilometers up at seven kilometers a second. They can measure changes down at the surface to centimeters This study took me to the Antarctic and continent at the bottom of the world that is capable of reshaping the world I'm actually back off the Antarctic in five days to mount The first traverse that has been done since Ed Hillary mounted it Back in the 50s. So it's it's the first time New Zealand has mounted such an effort since the 50s But after 10 years or so in the science I realized if no one's are listening what the hell is the point? So I died into public awareness and for some reason decided to cycle after returning from the Antarctic from New Zealand to Paris The idea was to galvanize global media and get attention on the Paris climate agreement in 2015 Leading up to that crucial agreement in the French capital We made films in Bangladesh a country where 30 million people could be displaced by the end of this century by sea level rice We made films in Mongolia where an entire an entire ancient culture Nomadic culture is threatened as the glaciers melt and the water sources dry up But then even with that I reached the point where I thought We don't have time to get everyone on our side. We are out of time I'm here to get shit done An atero a must-lead Whether it's agriculture whether it's energy whether it's tech whether it's governance and law this country can lead the way Now I put my business cap on one problem. We're working on the moment is waste as Sam alluded to the global fashion industry as a beast and one of the problems is waste Millions of tons of fabric go to landfill every year Our company off-cut wants to start making a dent in that we take off-cut fabrics that would otherwise end up in landfill leech glues and Dyes into the soil and release greenhouse gases that they break down and use that waste To make caps. We're starting with caps, but we're hoping to expand We we want to create a vision where We don't we buy things because we want them and they're cool not because they're sustainable They should inherently be sustainable So I'll wrap up with this. I like to finish with this image this photograph Taken from a spacecraft orbiting Saturn 1.4 billion kilometers away And in the wise words of Carl Sagan That's here. That's home. That's us We we don't have anywhere else to go and like I say time is running out and what I fear after this week Is that all the beautiful things that everyone is working on here? Don't matter unless we get ahead of this problem We're not gonna have the space the time to think about making a better world until we retune with it So I encourage you all here to join on this journey To make New Zealand a leader when it comes to climate change
