Held in partnership with the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority
(RAKTDA), the transformative two-day experience will delve deeper into the
core elements that shape our world: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Humanity, the
fifth and most crucial element. By exploring the symbolism of these elements,
Earth Age aims to ignite a passion for solving the challenges we face as a
species and explore how we can overcome them together - reemerging with a
renewed sense of purpose to build a sustainable future we can be proud to
leave behind for coming generations.

"We are the architects of our planet's future. By harnessing the elements, we
can tap into the wisdom of nature and use it as a guide to relate to
ourselves, each other, and the world around us," commented Armand Arton,
Founder and Chairman of the Global Citizen Forum. "As global citizens, we are
at the core of directing the natural flow of evolution, and therefore are
responsible for its path."

Embracing Ras Al Khaimah's breathtaking coastline, the Summit will feature
captivating beachside experiences, immersive participatory workshops and
thought-provoking panel discussions, culminating in a star-studded gala
fundraiser. Earth Age is also expected to create history with the first-ever
underwater panel on coral reef restoration, in partnership with OceanShot and
PADI, highlighting the urgent need for environmental action.

"We look forward to hosting the Global Citizen Forum for a third year in a
row, which demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive and sustainable future.
We are focused on creating a tourism industry that benefits not only
responsible travelers but also our economy, community and natural
environment," explains Raki Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Ras Al
Khaimah Tourism Development Authority.

At the culmination of the Summit, the Global Citizen Forum will collaborate
with its community to develop a manifesto for future global citizens.
Emphasizing meaningful action, transparency, sustainable policy changes,
environmental justice, and responsible resource utilization, the Global
Citizen Manifesto will uncover and define the elements needed to create
lasting change for today and tomorrow.

Held last year, the first chapter in the trilogy - The Butterfly Effect: Human
Metamorphosis - hosted an extraordinary gathering of visionaries and
changemakers, transcending boundaries and igniting conversations on a
multitude of pressing global challenges. With over 650 attendees from 90
countries, the Summit featured an impressive lineup of international icons,
including Grammy Award-winning artists Ricky Martin, Wyclef Jean, and Ashanti,
bestselling author and alternative medicine pioneer Deepak Chopra, former FBI
negotiator Chris Voss, as well as regional superstars like renowned Virgin
Radio presenter Kris Fade, and Huda Beauty founders Huda and Mona Kattan.

The stage is now set for an unparalleled journey of discovery, reflection and
exploration that awaits at The Butterfly Effect: Earth Age.
