The Amanah Lab: Islamic Ethics, STEM and Sustainability

A week-long youth-led sustainability programme for Qatar Sustainability Week, rooted in Islamic ethics, STEM learning and practical environmental action. Across the week, participants will explore sustainability through key Islamic principles including amanah — responsibility and trust, mīzān — balance, isrāf — avoiding waste, khalīfah — stewardship, and iḥsān — care and accountability. Through hands-on STEM challenge activities focused on water conservation, food waste, responsible consumption, energy use and ethical innovation, young people will connect values to action. The programme will conclude with a public pledge wall where participants make visible commitments to sustainable choices in their homes, schools and communities, supporting Qatar Sustainability Week’s wider focus on environmental awareness, community engagement and youth-led action.
