What's the Chitose Declaration??
After days and days of meetings, the 39 young people who sat on the Junior 8 committee came up with their very own treaty - the Chitose Declaration.
Nine of the young people then brought this treaty to the G8 summit where they spoke to the world leaders and asked them to take their treaty seriously.
Following the meeting, one Japanese member of the J8 committee said, "I was a bit worried if I was talking a bit rudely to my prime minister, but I think we really made an impression on the G8 leaders."
The treaty includes issues that affect young people today such as climate change, global health and poverty.

The G8 is a group of eight of the world's most powerful countries. The leaders meet at summits (which are really just important meetings) to talk about the most important issues affecting the world today.
But this year, Junior 8 will be happening too! Four children from each of these eight countries and some children from the developing world will meet to discuss climate change, poverty and health.
Junior 8 takes place in Japan from the 1-10 of July.
