He has his uke tuned very low. In fact, he is three half steps below C tuning which I guess would be considered "A" tuning (E-A-C#-F#). You can see that the first two chords he strums before he starts singing would be C7 and F if he were in C tuning but what you actually hear are A7 and D. Like Ukulele Ike and Johnny Marvin, he probably tuned his uke up or down to suit the key of the song while still playing familar chord shapes, something that most modern uke players avoid. It looks like Jack Pepper is playing a Martin concert in this video which would help accomodate the lower tuning. After studying this video I’m positive Jack Pepper is not using D tuning.

The difference is the chord diagrams. A D chord on a D tuned ukulele would look like the C chord shape you use on a C tuned ukulele and so on. (That's as clear as mud).
