UN Earth Summit

In 1992, at the age of 12, Severn Cullis-Suzuki attended a UN meeting in Rio where she addressed topics such as environmental issues. A video of the event went viral, attracting over a million hits online, and is known as ‘The 12-Year-Old Girl Who Silenced the World for 6 Minutes.” Today Cullis-Suzuki is a noted author, speaker, and environmental activist, following in the footsteps of her father, David Suzuki.
