Former US President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the Eye on Earth Abu Dhabi 2011 Summit next month.

The summit will convene world experts to facilitate greater access to environmental and social information — especially for emerging economies, said a statement issued by the organisers yesterday.

To be held from December 12 to 15, the summit will be hosted by the Environment Agency — Abu Dhabi, facilitated by the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative and held in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme.

A main goal of the Summit is the environmental and social data community's adoption of the Eye on Earth Summit Declaration — a document that will provide input to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) to be held in June 2012.
