New Zealand occupies a unique place in the world of science despite the relatively small size of its population and economy.<br />
<br />
Through our international thought leadership in science and policy, and our science connections and initiatives we are emerging as an important player in the global context.<br />
<br />
Beyond our world-ranked scientists and discoveries we are leading the way in drawing attention to the place of science in government and trans-national decision-making, trade and diplomacy and driving initiatives to improve the health of our planet.<br />
<br />
Sir Peter Gluckman, the Prime Minister&#39;s Chief Science Advisor, will explain why NZ can be seen as &quot;the canary in the mine of international science&quot; - an early indicator for emerging issues.<br />
<br />
He will introduce Dr Harry Clark, director of a NZ led international initiative to reduce the 20% of world&#39;s greenhouse gasses that come from agriculture and food production.
