00:00Good afternoon, everyone!

00:01Our main focus here is to inspire, empower, educate children, youth, and the public in general

00:07so we can do what we can to keep Qatar clean and beautiful for generations to come.

00:15Running from 1 to 8 November, Qatar Sustainability Week celebrated its 10th edition this year.

00:21What started as a small awareness campaign has grown into a national movement,

00:25it's bigger, louder, and more hands-on than ever.

00:31ERSNA, Center for a Sustainable Future, an initiative of Qatar Foundation.

00:35We are leading the efforts around Qatar Sustainability Week, but we only see ourselves as a platform.

00:41We are here to give a space for anyone from families, students, businesses, administrations

00:47to design and deliver their own activities to raise awareness around sustainability at large.

00:54Sustainability at large isn't just an idea.

00:58It's part of Qatar's transformation, with nearly 200 SDG indicators tracked nationwide.

01:05At Qatar Foundation's Oxygen Park, a family marathon brought those goals to life, turning numbers into action.

01:12We have more than 150 students participating from the center and running to support for the Sustainable Development Goals.

01:21And the marathon itself, it's contained 17 stations.

01:25Each station represents one of the SDGs.

01:28And our students are here in order to run and support the SDGs,

01:32to raise the awareness in the community about how we can be part of the sustainability.

01:37Along Qatar's coast, mangroves are doing the heavy lifting against climate change.

01:43As part of the world's largest mangrove relocation,

01:46Khamad Port has replanted over 36,000 trees, filtering salt, absorbing carbon, and anchoring shorelines,

01:53helping Qatar cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2030.

01:58We are at Earthner, at Qatar Foundation, in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

02:04We are implementing, with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change,

02:08some parts of their strategy, mainly into the wildlife conservation and restoration.

02:13And one of these projects is the mangrove restoration project.

02:17So this project is meant to develop resilience in the coastal zone by planting 40 hectares of mangroves.

02:24From mangroves to beaches, families are rolling up their sleeves to tackle Qatar's waste.

02:30Deep Qatar Conservation has run 550-plus cleanup drives,

02:34collecting over 230 tons of trash, from single-use plastics to everyday litter,

02:40all responsibly disposed of through recycling or managed landfills.

02:44More than 300 people participated on the different educational activities that we hosted during the week.

02:50We held two different cleanup drives in the desert with nothing but our bare hands.

02:55In addition to that, I did some school visits where we talked about the global and local impact of plastic pollution,

03:01focusing on what we can do to help mitigate the problem.

03:04Trash isn't just on beaches or in deserts.

03:07It accumulates everywhere.

03:09Enter e-waste.

03:10Electronics are everywhere.

03:12Phones, tablets, keyboards, cables.

03:15When they stop working, they can pile up fast, creating a serious waste problem.

03:20Qatar Foundation is collecting these devices, breaking them down,

03:25and recycling the valuable materials inside.

03:31Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste streams in the world.

03:35It has a lot of toxins in them, such as cadmium, arsenic, and mercury,

03:40causing a lot of problems for the environment.

03:42What we're trying to do is we're trying to divert as much as waste from the landfill,

03:46and we're trying to support Qatar's circular economy as well.

03:51Circular action is taking over Qatar.

03:53The country is targeting 2 to 4 gigawatts of solar capacity by 2030

03:58and has already cut electricity and water consumption by around 20% in the last decade.

04:04This shift sets the business foundation for sustainability at large.

04:08We've got Qatar Foundation who have introduced the Clean Plate campaign

04:13within their restaurants and cafes in the whole of Education City,

04:17where they're asking people to just put whatever they know they're going to eat on their plate,

04:21because food waste is a huge issue and a huge challenge here in Qatar.

04:26We've seen, for example, in the hospitality sector,

04:28the hotels focusing on their sustainability initiatives,

04:31whether related to recycling,

04:33whether related to eliminating plastic within their operations.

04:37Qatar Sustainability Week has become a force for change,

04:42aligned with national targets and measurable metrics.

04:45Solar and other renewables are set to triple in Qatar's energy mix,

04:49reaching 18% by 2030.

04:52Sustainability here isn't just a slogan.

04:54It's a strategy in motion.

04:56But for sure, often move forward to this ceremony.

04:58Thank you very much for everything.

05:01I hope you're very lucky.

05:01A commitment to this model makes you this upcoming climate change is good.

05:04A life of my life

05:14is a strategy for testing and adoption.

05:18I will be different from others as soon as I earlier.

05:19But it just series up in Norway.

05:21I hope you're for the best part of this occasion,
