Minister of Environment and Climate Change HE Dr Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Subaie has emphasized the great importance Qatar attaches to green development and harmonizing economic and social growth with the preservation of the environment and natural resources.
He said this is reflected in the Qatar National Vision 2030, which is based on four basic pillars including“environmental development,” that seeks to achieve synergy between economic expansion and environmental preservation.
This came as Qatar delegation headed by Dr Al Subaie participated in the Green Development Forum of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which concluded in Qingdao, China, on Tuesday. The minister pointed to Qatar’s recent launch of the third national development strategy (2024-2030), which serves as the main catalyst in advancing the country’s economic diversification while ensuring environmental sustainability. He highlighted that ensuring energy security remains a fundamental global obstacle to development and that Qatar, as a leading global supplier of natural gas, enjoys a distinguished position that qualifies it to assume a major role in global green development and the transition towards a low-carbon future. page 16
