Why Environment Engineering and Sustainability?
Environmental conservation and sustainability are on top of the biggest challenges and most important targets of the present times. Environmental sustainability is the key strategy against the backdrop of the growth of human population and the rampant exploitation of environment by humans, the future generations are on the verge of confronting scarce natural resources and polluted environment, and it is our most important responsibility to leave the planet as a self- sustainable system providing equal opportunities of survival not only to our future generations but also to all other species co-habiting with us.
Our Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Conference and Exhibition aims at addressing these concerns and raising awareness on such topics, also will provide a concourse of the latest technologies and industries invested in sustainability and environment preservation, to create a dialogue between participating parties and establishing possible partnerships.
Topics of Interest:
According to UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this global plan of action adopted in 2015, puts forward specific measures to achieve a world that is fairer, more prosperous, and more respectful of the environment within ten years.
In this regard, here are the main global environmental problems that will be our subjects of focus during our coming event:
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation
- Pollution problems and their effect on health
- Protecting the oceans
- The energy transition and renewables
- A sustainable food model
- Protecting biodiversity
- Sustainable urban development and mobility
- Hydric stress and water scarcity
- Extreme meteorological phenomena
- Overpopulation and waste management
- Sustainable business strategies
Environmental Development – Qatar 2030:
“We need to care for our natural environment for it was entrusted to us by God to use with responsibility and respect for the benefit of humankind. If we nurture our environment, it will nurture us”.
H.H. Mozah bint Nasser al-Misnid
Qatar vision for Environmental development focuses on preserving and protecting the environment, including air, land, water, and biological diversity, through:
- An environmentally aware population that values the preservation of the natural heritage of Qatar and its neighboring states.
- An agile and comprehensive legal system that protects all elements of the environment, responding quickly to challenges as they arise.
- Effective and sophisticated environmental institutions that build and strengthen public awareness about environmental protection and encourage the use of environmentally sound technologies. These institutions will also conduct awareness raising campaigns, employ environmental planning tools, and carry out environmental research.
