He took a break from the mean streets of New York City to stop by the Yale Climate Conference at the Ivy League university's New Haven campus.  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Sep 17, 2018 5:49 PM UTC While celebrating 20 years of raising money for [global conservation efforts](http://time.com/4951684/leo-dicaprio-donald-trump/), [Leonardo DiCaprio](http://time.com/5323513/leonardo-dicaprio-brad-pitt-photo/) was reminded of another charitable endeavor that seems to be near and dear to his heart. [Chris Martin](http://time.com/4882550/jay-z-says-coldplays-chris-martin-is-a-modern-day-shakespeare/) was quick to point out that environmental work isn’t DiCaprio’s only area of expertise after taking the stage for Coldplay’s performance at the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s 20th anniversary gala in Northern California on Saturday. “I studied him very closely for about five or six years and what became clear to me was his unbelievable service, his commitment to the business of cargo shorts,” Martin quipped before performing an original song about the controversial menswear item. “This is a guy, he’s seen cargo shorts and he said, ‘I’m going to save these shorts from extinction. They should have gone out about 25 years ago. I’m personally going to fund the sort of renaissances of cargo shorts.'” But the night wasn’t all jokes. The wine country bash raised nearly $8 million for DiCaprio’s foundation, which has awarded $100 million in grants over the past two decades. “When I founded LDF 20 years ago, I did so based on the simple idea that we could make a real difference by directly funding some of the most effective environmental projects—whether it be individuals, grassroots movements or major nonprofits, we wanted to focus on getting critical funding to those who could have the greatest impact,” DiCaprio said at the event. “Since 1998, we have supported over 200 projects on every continent and in every ocean from habitat and species conservation, renewable energy, climate change, indigenous rights, and more. I am pleased to announce $11 million in new grants across our six program areas, bringing the total financial impact of LDF to over $100 million.” ## Transcript [00:00] We should not have people in office that do not believe [00:04] in facts, in truths, in modern science [00:10] that are able to manipulate and risk the entire future [00:15] of this entire generation. So you know the more I've [00:18] learned about this issue the more I've become. [00:20] Terrified to tell you the truth. I'm doing a new [00:22] documentary about methane. You've done so much [00:27] work on oceans, the protection of our oceans, the [00:31] health of our oceans, the fact that so much of this [00:34] carbon is being absorbed [ INAUDIBLE ] the oceans. [00:36] We're actually not even seeing on land the ramifications [00:40] of the amount of carbon that we're emitting in the [00:43] atmosphere. Because, the oceans are absorbing so [00:46] much of it. And they're at capacity now. So, [00:50] I'm really scared. We're at that turning point right now. [00:54] And we're gonna look back at this moment, In history [00:56] and frankly this administration and certain people are [01:00] gonna be vilified for not taking action. They really are. [01:05] And it's up to this generation, it's up to all of you to [01:08] really get involved and make a difference because as I [01:12] said in the documentary, what I saw in my travels [01:15] absolutely terrified me. It was terrifying. Being [01:20] on this sort of campaign so to speak for global [01:23] warming climate change, you realize the amazing [01:27] inaction that this country has taken. You go to [01:30] anywhere else in the world, there is no argument about [01:34] climate change. There is no argument. People accept it [01:38] as a fact. This is the only country in the world where [01:40] we have a political party that argues what is now [01:43] basically scientific fact. I mean it's like arguing [01:48] whether gravity exists or not. When President Trump [01:51] says to the people of the United States, I'm pulling out [01:54] of Paris. Because Paris places an undue burden on the [01:58] United States of America. My friends, the President of [02:02] the United States is not telling America the truth. That's [02:06] just not true. It doesn't place any burden on [02:10] the United States. It only places what we [02:14] agreed, as Americans, we are capable of doing. At our [02:18] schedule, our desire within our limits of technology. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5398271/leonardo-dicaprio-gala-chris-martin/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5398271/leonardo-dicaprio-gala-chris-martin/"},"headline":"Chris Martin Roasted Leonardo DiCaprio Incredibly Hard At His Gala","datePublished":"2018-09-17T17:49:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T07:54:28.071Z","description":"The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary","url":"https://time.com/5398271/leonardo-dicaprio-gala-chris-martin/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Leonardo DiCaprio","Chris Martin"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9b207a2fbccbd4a1/69893a6cfb4eacef56897a96/leonardo-dicaprio-gala.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9b207a2fbccbd4a1/69893a6cfb4eacef56897a96/leonardo-dicaprio-gala.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Gala - Inside","caption":"Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Gala - Inside","creditText":"Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5398271/leonardo-dicaprio-gala-chris-martin/","name":"Chris Martin Roasted Leonardo DiCaprio Incredibly Hard At His Gala"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Leonardo DiCaprio Talks With John Kerry About America's Future And Climate Change","description":"This week, Leonardo DiCaprio is flexing his voice on climate change.
