Energy and the Environment at the Y8
Having missed the chance to be part of the delegation in 2012 (as I only found out about the opportunity after applications had closed), I slept with one eye open for the 2013 open date.
It goes without saying that I am very excited to be a part of the Y8 team. I am thrilled at the opportunity to be part of negotiations and exchange with other young global leaders.
Everyone is affected by environment, with that said; it is important that we progress in global discussions that will possibly shape the future of the environment.
This year from the Energy and Climate Change panel, discussions include Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation which are at the core of environmental issues. Renewable energy adoption as well is a crucial and I hope we are able to tackle these environmental issues and come up with solutions.
So far it has been a thrill to be part of a wonderful South African team. All the Skype meetings and preparations leading to the summit- I am looking forward to the negotiations!
