I was privileged to be a delegate at the  Eye on Earth summit , held in Abu Dhabi , UAE from 12^th Dec to 15^th Dec. It was a global forum which was convened to address the crucial importance of environmental and societal information and networking to decision-making. The summit slogan was ?Convene , Converge , Collaborate? and chose to highlight the theme ?From a moment to a movement?. As an 11 year old , I was definitely the youngest delegate at the summit .

            The summit graced by several eminent speakers , such as UNEP Executive Director Mr Achim Steiner, President Bill Clinton , Mr. Sha Zukang –UN Under-Secretary General, world famous anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall , intrepid explorer Mr. Robert Swann to name a few. I learnt from their experiences and shared their vision for a greener , sustainable tomorrow. My interaction with the leader of the Amazon Surui tribe , Chief Almir was most memorable .

Apart from the summit , there was also an exhibition which was open to the general public and was attended by several school children from across the country . The exhibition offered them the opportunity to interact, debate and converse with some of the eminent attendees and learn about the importance of conservation . I interacted with several of my peers and it gave me immense joy to spread the message of conservation to this very important age group.
