00:00 So I'm thrilled to be in Singapore. It's fantastic. And yeah, the third year into the
00:04 earthshot, we've seen an incredible bunch of people come through again. And I think
00:08 from the first year, we can quantify a bit more of the impact. And in the first year
00:12 alone, we've managed to directly impact positively 1.5 million people. We protected about 2.1
00:19 million hectares of ocean, upcycled 35,000 tonnes of waste, 40,000 tonnes of CO2. And
00:26 we're going to do more. And that's just five finalists from the first year. So really excited
00:30 about this year's winners and finalists. Last year, we had two companies, both have expanded
00:35 by eight times and are moving into different countries. So it's all about scale now. My
00:40 job is to really kind of bring the money and the capital and the private sector into the
00:44 earthshot and meet the solutions and go, come on, how can we scale? How can we do more?
00:48 But I'm really proud of the whole team, to be honest. I mean, you know, earthshot coming
00:51 from a seed of an idea to where we are three years later. The whole point is to provide
00:55 impact and to make change. But the guys and girls you've met are fantastic. They're the
01:00 ones at the forefront. And over the next 10 years, we've got to give them the support
01:03 and all the help we can do to their impacts are magnified greater than what they're already
