00:02 I hope you're all having an amazing beginning to COP28.

00:10 We're here because, well, you all know why we're here.

00:14 We've screwed up and we have a massive climate crisis

00:17 and it's serious.

00:18 It's so serious, in fact, that the world of science

00:23 has been shouting and screaming for so long

00:26 and finally, we've managed to pay attention

00:29 to the world of science.

00:30 I'm showcasing the solutions and I'm also letting people know

00:33 about the fashion industry's need,

00:36 most of all, for policy change and incentives.

00:40 So really, if anyone here can help me change laws

00:43 in my industry, we're pretty unpoliced

00:46 and I'm here to try and get a seat at the table

00:49 and make some laws that can protect the planet in fashion.

00:53 So thank you for having me.

00:54 More and more we know and the science comes back says

00:58 we are far off.

01:00 So we really need many champions, you, many others

01:05 to get together, build new alliances

01:08 and scale solutions that we know exist.

01:10 Imagine a different future.

01:12 So what I wanted to say in this situation of deep worry

01:17 and deep optimism is to remind myself

01:20 what my daughter told me.

01:21 I brought my 70-year-old to New York, actually,

01:25 to instead of having me speaking,

01:27 I interviewed her on stage.

01:28 And Hala, you remember, she said at a point,

01:31 "If you lose your hope,

01:32 "where do you expect me to get hope from?"

01:35 And I would like to just extend that to all of us

01:37 that we need to master our hope.

01:39 We need to master our determination.

01:41 We need to be like you, Paul, said several times.

01:43 We need to have skin enough to be prepared

01:47 for some true failures,

01:49 for some steps going in the wrong direction.

01:52 We need to get this right

01:54 and we simply cannot allow ourselves to pass it on

01:57 to the next generation.

01:59 (speaking in foreign language)

02:02 So I will leave you with one final message

02:19 that comes from the wisdom of my people.

02:20 It's something that we say.

02:22 Mother Earth doesn't expect us to save her.

02:25 Mother Earth expects us to respect her.

02:28 Thank you.

02:29 - To the world's most impactful climate voices.

02:32 (audience cheering)

02:35 (dramatic music)

02:37 you
