It comfortably surpassed my expectations and I am very proud to have been part of that historic event, one which could be a turning point in the Global effort against climate crisis.

I arrived in Germany on May 20th and my first stop was Frankfurt airport where I took a connecting flight to Munich International airport.

There, I met Sudeep,a Nepalese participant, who was waiting for me at the airport so we could travel together on the train to Tutzing- venue of the summit.

We arrived Tutzing on the train and asked a young girl who was in the train how to locate the Evangelishe Akademie where the event was to take place. The young girl was really helpful as after directing us through the right routes, she offered a second option if we could wait a bit and see if her mother who was coming to pick her will agree to drop us off at our destination- it was an option we gladly took and it worked out perfectly. The mother dropped us exactly at our location before turning and driving to her destination. We were full of thanks for the young girl and her mother, Germans, for such a kind gesture. That instantly gave me a good impression of the Germans, I never expected it this good.

I and my Nepalese friend quickly checked in, took a short rest and joined the summit later that evening as we arrived the venue in the afternoon.

Before then, some of us had gone to give a press conference and we started off rightly with introductions after which the moderator put us through on how proceedings at the plenary will go.

But then, we achieved one very important thing that day which was to divide the participants into various editorial groups where the topics of those groups will be effectively brainstormed for the final manifesto of the summit.

I was in the editorial group for Global Governance- you can sense I have huge interest in that.

On the second day of the summit, we were first put through on Ecoclimatology by Ulrich Dettweiler, TUM then "IPCC scenarios and how to achieve the 2? goal" by Hans-Peter Schmid,Karlsruhe Insitute of Technology (KIT), it was a very impressive lecture with graphical illustrations and pictorial representations, it set the tone for the day on what needed to be done.

Then followed the lecture on "Connections between air quality and global warming" by Julia Schmale, PSI before Wolf Dieter Grossmann came on to the stage to discuss "Global Energy Revolution" with his new innovations on Photovoltaics.

The day was superbly rounded off with a lecture on "Sustainability and the Law - Youth sue for their survival" by Felix Ekardt, Research Unit Sustainability and Climate Policy (RUSCP). I went to sleep very happy not to have missed this fantastic day of the summit save for the fact that I was still struggling with the German food- even though they informed us earlier that it was going to be all vegetarian.

On the third day,proceedings at the plenary started with Economic Instruments the major topic of the session. First up was a lecture on "Economical instruments for the reduction of emissions" by Ottmar Edenhofer, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Thomas Sterner,University of Gothenberg (UG) after which we went into our various working groups to deliberate and submit our final agreements to the Editorial board of the Economic Instruments group. There, I introduced the "Great Green Wall" project that has been going on in subsaharan Africa to stop desertification to the group and told them that it has been working well in my country Nigeria. It was the first time most of them got to know about the project and it was reflected in our final submission to the editorial board for Economic Instruments.

"How to ensure our survival? Activities and campaigns" by Members of the Plant-for-the-Planet secretariat followed suit after a coffee break and it was a very interactive lecture. It may interest you to know that Plant-for-the-Planet already estimated the amount of carbon emissions of the Youth Summit and the figure was 257,723tons of carbon dioxide and will plant 2,700 trees to compensate for the Youth Summit emissions.

Again, Plant-for-the-Planet hopes that by 2020, it will have 1,000,000 climate justice ambassadors and 30 Plant-for-the-Planet offices worldwide.

It was lunch time and now, I found something much better than the previous days on the menu- white rice. After the lunch, the next lecture was on T

"The future of development cooperation - What should the next generation do?" by Dirk Messner, German Development Institute (DIE) and just like other lectures that preceded it, it was an overly impressive one.

Again, we went into working groups to digest the lectures properly and afterwards, it was time for the lecture on "Generational Justice Politics" by Wolfgang Grundinger, Renate Schmidt, Maria Peschel-Gutzeit, Kurt-Peter Merk and Youth, I must say here that the quality of lectures we received day after day at the summit made it hard to choose which was the best. It was a continuous and consistent flow of quality and real time information from lecture to lecture.

After that- and as we have done everyday of the summit- we went to the salons for networking and from there, it was straight to bed.

International speakers were told to speak via a video message so as to reduce carbon emissions and on the fourth day of the summit, we had a plethora of video message speakers on "Global Governance for a viable sustainable world" first by Karen Christiana Figueres Olsen, UNFCCC and then Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace.

The former was just as inspiring as the latter was clear with the dangers that lie ahead.

If I had been impressed by all the lectures thus far, the sight of the topic of the new lecture "When negotiations get tough" blew me off my feet, it needed to be thought and can hardly be handled better than the experienced minds of Matthias Schranner, Schranner Negotiation Institute (SNI). If any lecture was very practical at the summit, it was this one.

After teaching the basic rudiments of negotiations, we had practical examples of how it could work or not. Strategies like "low hanging fruits" and "positive feedback" stuck to my brain.

Everybody enjoyed it and to know that the lecture lasted little over 3 hours underscores the importance of negotiations in our quest to solve the problems posed by climate crisis.

The day got even better when the eagerly awaited Prof. Franz Josef Radermacher, Club of Rome (CoR) mounted the stage to deliver his lecture on the topic "Our world in 2050 - Scenarios of survival". The lecture was worth the wait. He exuded experience, which pointed out complications of what could be and what couldn't. The lecture gave us some serious thoughts and pushed us closer to what was realistic.

The day ended as usual with networking in the salons and now, my body was more willing to accept the German meals on offer, I had adapted.

The fifth day of the summit began with the plenary hall having a feel of how critical the day's proceedings would be not just for the summit but for the future generation.

First up was a lecture on Development of an ecological consciousness by Mark Lawrence, Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) and Vandana Shiva, World Future Council (WFC).

That was the only lecture for the day and by then, the lectures have achieved its aim to put us in a perfect position to prepare our manifesto.

Throughout the remaining sessions of the day, it was all about preparing our manifesto after receiving inputs from the various editorial boards.

Predictably, it wasn't an easy one. Preparing a global manifesto was never going to be easy but this one was even tougher. It represented the imminent danger that could come if global leaders continue to allow there lips act instead of there hands.

Word after word, line by line we went and after long exhaustive hours of deliberations with Prof. Franz Josef Radermacher- our consultant on the Manifesto formation- coming in at difficult moments to give illuminating explanations, the manifesto drafting was finalized. It was great for me as I sat there in the plenary and actively participated throughout the duration of the manifesto drafting. I enjoyed being part of the entire process and really feel proud to have contributed to this historic manifesto.

Done with the manifesto, we heaved a huge sigh of relief as the major aim of the summit had been achieved.

With our minds settled, Prof. Gerhard Knies of DESERTEC came up to the stage with "Global Energy Revolution" the topic he addressed. This was the business side of the summit as he introduced the concept of Renewable Energy Startups of his company DESERTEC- which seeks to match desert resources with technology. The vision of the project is "to show renewable energy as a more economic, reliable, sustainable , and accessible way to solve the energy and climate crises, bring prosperity to  all sectors of society and provide mentorship and technical support to local startups." I loved that part so much as I had made it know during my introduction at the summit that "the best way to solve climate problems is to turn there solutions into business opportunities" and here, I was getting exactly that. The project received a good welcome and a good number of the participants indicated interest. Of course, I was one.

That ended plenary for the day and letters were then prepared and signed for presidents of countries represented at the summit to be submitted at their various embassies in Berlin. I won't also forget to mention that elections were held for the 2015/2016 Global Youth board of Plant-for-the-Planet with Paulina from Mexico elected the president of the Youth board and Eyilore, a Nigerian, elected the President of the Children's board.

It was the sixth day now and we had a light schedule, all we had to do was fill our big balloons- bearing climate messages- with helium gas and hold them up in fascinating circles and lines for the aerial photographers to get a great picture of it with the aeroplane which hovered repeatedly around the venue. Every sight of that airplane was greeted with shouts of "Stop talking, Start Planting", a trademark slogan of Plant-for-the-Planet.

With that done, we took lunch and it was time for hugs as we checked out of the Evangelische Akademie to Haus International in Munich central city where we can then easily access the Munich airport with trains or taxis.

Also, we had parties in between the summit and some funtime at the Stanberg lake,a very big lake-which was at the venue of the summit.

We had an amazing time in Munich city as some of us went for a stroll down the streets and got some dishes from MacDonalds. We went to see the Discos at the Haus International on the night of May 25th and early in the morning of 26th, I said goodbye and left for Munich airport. I flew to Frankfurt airport first from where I flew straight to Lagos, Nigeria.

Germany is awesome, it's fair to say they have reached the zenith of development.

And for me, I was overwhelmed by what the summit offered. It clearly beat my expectations.

If you haven't attended a summit like this and claim to be a climate activist, you may be lacking some vital information.

Now, I am a climate activist down to the roots.

I sincerely thank the entire Plant-for-the-Planet team for organizing this historic summit and for making it possible for me to attend, I am so grateful. I also thank Eco-Generation for making me learn of this event, in fact, some of the people I met at the summit are either still with TUNZA Eco-Generation as ambassadors/members or have had a stint with us. That more than speaks well of this platform.

I look forward to the outcome of the G7 meeting that started on Monday in Bonn Germany- which is focusing on climate change with Africa on the spotlight- as our manifesto will be deliberated upon.

Thank you all, it's now time for action!
