The Zayed Future Energy Prize earned the UAE a Guinness World Record for the largest number of students participating in an interactive session on environmental sustainability.

The 30-minute lecture highlighted how young people around the world can help reduce energy poverty while also challenging them to devise solutions that will bring about a more sustainable future.

The gathering also witnessed the assembly of 2,400 solar lanterns, arranged to create a unique light installation in tribute to Shaikh Zayed, Father of Nation, the centenary of whose birth is being celebrated across the UAE this year.
