The World Future Energy Summit 2013 was a much bigger event this year. I had the privilege of attending the WFES in 2012 as well as a UNEP delegate.

The opening ceremony of WFES2013 saw eminent speakers such as the French President , the Argentinian President and Queen Rania of Jordan. Listening to these world leaders, live,  was an unique experience and a huge learning for me.

The venue also hosted the International Water Summit which , too , I attended. Several workshops on alternate energy were organized which I participated in. Fossil fuels will run out one day leaving behind a world full of carbon dioxide – thus one must propagate usage of alternate energy. This year?s event highlighted the fact that the technology for alternate energy exists – the challenge is to make it commercially viable for developed as well poor nations to afford the same.

I also visited the IRENA area . The IRENA summit actually started a day earlier than WFES but was basically for high level ministerial delegations.

I was interviewed by a TV news channel and it was aired on prime time in the evening, across the country. I spoke on the youth?s demands to move to  sustainable alternate energy.
