In 2013 he and explorer Doug Stoup completed the fastest human-powered trek from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole.[1] Liautaud is the youngest man to walk to the South Pole without resupplies.[1] He graduated from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.[2] Polar expeditionsBy the age of 17, Liautaud had undertaken three expeditions to the North Pole.[3] At 19 years old, he led the Willis Resilience Expedition to the South Pole, a two-part Antarctic journey with Willis Group that included a 1900 km crossing of Antarctica to conduct climate change research, followed by a 560 km trek from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole.[4] On December 24, 2013, Liautaud and fellow explorer Doug Stoup completed the expedition, setting a new record for the fastest human-powered trek from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole.[1] Liautaud became the youngest man to trek to the South Pole at the time.[1] During the Willis Resilience Expedition, Parker and his team conducted live-streaming video interviews to news shows including Good Morning America [5] and CNBC's Squawk Box.[2] Climate changeLiautaud has been actively working on climate issues since the age of 14.[3] He has interviewed world leaders, such as former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and former President of Ireland Mary Robinson, in front of large audiences.[6] In September 2013, former US Vice President Al Gore interviewed Liautaud in a session at the United Nations Foundation Social Good Summit.[7] Liautaud has been outspoken about the need to address the business risks of climate change. In remarks from the main stage at the Clinton Global Initiative's 2014 Annual Meeting, he noted that “our world is entering an unprecedented risk landscape”, adding that “a risk-based approach drives action and builds resilience”.[8] In a September 2014 interview with The Wall Street Journal's Digital Network, Liautaud noted that he believed that the private sector was best positioned to tackle climate change, but added that “at the moment, I don't think that we're adequately preparing for the risks of the world that we're headed into. There definitely are the risks that exist, but businesses aren't taking them seriously enough right now”.[9] In a June 2014 op-ed he wrote for UN Women, Liautaud pointed out the “abundant” evidence connecting climate change to problems of gender equality, and called for greater action to tackle gender-based inequalities, describing it “a non-negotiable priority”.[10] Liautaud is currently completing his PhD at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts under Peter Huybers. Awards and honoursIn December 2013, while in Antarctica for the Willis Resilience Expedition, Liautaud was named to Time Magazine's top 30 people under 30 changing the world.[11] In March 2014, Liautaud was honoured by The White House as a Champion of Change for “engaging the next generation of conservation leaders”.[12] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/25/teenager-sets-record-for-fastest-trek-from-antarctic-coast-to-south-pole|title=Teenager sets record for fastest trek from Antarctic coast to south pole|work=the Guardian}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|author=Jeff Morganteen |url=https://www.cnbc.com/id/101269200 |title=Teenage Yale student attempts record trek to South Pole for research and climate change |publisher=Cnbc.com |date=2013-12-12 |accessdate=2015-07-10}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.parkerliautaud.com/about/|title=Parker Liautaud|work=Parker Liautaud}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parkerliautaud.com/expeditions/|title=Parker Liautaud|work=Parker Liautaud}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/12/19-year-old-parker-liautaud-expected-to-set-world-record-in-antarctica/|title=19-Year-Old Parker Liautaud Expected to Set World Record in Antarctica|author=ABC News|work=ABC News}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://theelders.org/article/how-can-young-people-join-debate-about-climate-change|title=How can young people join in the debate about climate change?|work=The Elders}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/witw/articles/2013/09/24/al-gore-melinda-gates-malala-and-more-at-mashable-s-social-good-summit.html|title=Al Gore, Melinda Gates, Malala And More At The Social Good Summit|work=The Daily Beast}} 8. ^{{cite av media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8aurtzMo3M|title=Parker Liautaud Discusses Climate Change in the Arctic - CGI 2014 Annual Meeting|date=16 October 2014|work=YouTube}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/video/polar-explorer-parker-liautaud-talks-climate-change/97B0C9F4-BEDC-4BD0-BD98-A5DCA113B1A2.html|title=Polar Explorer Parker Liautaud Talks Climate Change|date=23 September 2014|work=wsj.com}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://beijing20.unwomen.org/en/news-and-events/stories/2014/6/parker-liautaud|title=Parker Liautaud - UN Women – Beijing+20|work=Field Office Beijing Plus}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/06/these-are-the-30-people-under-30-changing-the-world/slide/parker-liautaud/|title=Parker Liautaud - TIME 30 Under 30: World Changers - TIME.com|work=TIME.com | date=2013-12-06}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/03/24/engaging-americans-challenge-climate-resilience|title=Engaging Americans in the Challenge of Climate Resilience|work=The White House}} External links
