Reshaping the Ocean Economy | Daniel Vermeer | TEDxDuke
Oceans will play a central role in our 21st century economy, with the rapid growth of shipping, offshore energy, deep sea mining, biotech, and aquaculture. At the same time, ocean ecosystems are stressed and in danger of collapsing. This talk will describe exciting new innovations for making the ocean economy more restorative, resilient, renewable, and smart. Dan has spent the last three decades working on some of the world’s “grand challenges” – e.g. poverty, water, climate change, and oceans - through diverse roles in academia and business. Trained as an anthropologist, Dan spent his 20s living in the Himalayas, where his first-hand experience of seeing the impacts of the global economy on communities and ecosystems led him to work with companies to develop more sustainable business practices. Before coming to Duke, Dan led Coca-Cola’s water sustainability initiative, where he created dozens of public-private partnerships on water and sanitation, watershed protection, and sustainable agriculture in over 90 countries. Dan is now Associate Professor of the Practice at Duke University, where he directs the Center for Energy, Development, and the Global Environment (EDGE). Through teaching, research, and outreach, Dan seeks creative ways to make business a force for good in the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
