![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As a student of The Millennium School , Dubai it was an honour to represent the UAE as an international delegate at the Asia Pacific summit of TUNZA International Children & Youth Conference at Ahmedabad , India. This conference was organized by the United Nations Environment Programme and hosted by the Centre for Environment Education , Government of India at their Ahmedabad campus. This conference brought together children and youth from across the Asia Pacific region to discuss their roles and inputs on Sustainable Development and how they could adopt more environmentally friendly lifestyles . The conference was held over a span of four days. Apart from the plenary sessions , where eminent personalities on environment delivered lectures , numerous interactive workshops and field trips were organised . The participants debated and discussed at length ways and means of reshaping the future through a green economy and sustainable lifestyles. Alongwith other members of my workgroup , we put in a lot of hard work and endless hours of discussions and brainstorming to prepare the ?zero draft ?for the upcoming Rio+20 Earth summit. |
