New Zealand occupies a unique place in the world of science despite the relatively small size of its population and economy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
