What is Qatar Sustainability Week?
A nationwide campaign that promotes sustainable practices across communities and organizations encouraging collective action towards a more sustainable future. Each edition features hundreds of events across multiple categories; awareness activities, fairs and exhibitions, family and school activities, strategic sustainability inititiaves, Nutrition and wellness, offers from green businesses, and technical seminars or conferences.
Who organizes it?
The week is organized by Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future, a member of Qatar Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
What is the objective?
To inspire behavioral change, raise awareness, and drive measurable sustainability actions across Qatar. The campaign’s core aim is to raise awareness of sustainability and climate issues while turning that awareness into concrete action. It provides a unifying umbrella for hundreds of independently organized activities that support Qatar National Vision 2030, especially its environmental development pillar. It emphasizes on both national-level impact through policies, business practices and infrastructure and everyday lifestyle choices such as energy use, waste reduction, and sustainable mobility.
