00:00our main focus here is to

00:09to keep Qatar clean and beautiful

00:10for generations to come

00:15running from 1 to 8 November

00:17Qatar Sustainability Week

00:19celebrated its 10th edition this year

00:21what started as a small awareness campaign

00:23has grown into a national movement

00:25bigger

00:26louder

00:27and more hands-on than ever.

00:31ERSNA, Center for a Sustainable Future,

00:33an initiative of Qatar Foundation.

00:35We are leading the efforts around Qatar's Sustainability Week,

00:39but we only see ourselves as a platform.

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

00:45students, businesses, administrations,

00:47to design and deliver their own activities

00:51to raise awareness around sustainability at large.

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

00:58It's part of Qatar's transformation,

01:01with nearly 200 SDG indicators tracked nationwide.

01:05At Qatar Foundation's Oxygen Park,

01:08a family marathon brought those goals to life,

01:11turning numbers into action.

01:13We have more than 150 students participating from the center

01:17and running to support for the Sustainable Development Goals.

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

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

01:34about how we can be part of the sustainability.

01:38Along Qatar's coast,

01:39mangroves are doing the heavy lifting against climate change.

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

01:45Khamad Port has replanted over 36,000 trees,

01:49filtering salt, absorbing carbon, and anchoring shorelines,

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

01:58We are Earthner at Qatar Foundation,

02:01in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

02:04We are implementing,

02:06with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change,

02:08some parts of their strategy,

02:10mainly 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

02:21by planting 40 hectares of mangroves.

02:24From mangroves to beaches,

02:26families 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,

02:38from single-use plastics to everyday litter,

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

02:44More than 300 people participated

02:46on the different educational activities that we hosted during the week.

02:50We held two different cleanup drives in the desert

02:53with nothing but our bare hands.

02:55In addition to that,

02:56I did some school visits

02:57where 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.

03:08Enter e-waste.

03:10Electronics are everywhere.

03:12Phones, tablets, keyboards, cables.

03:15When they stop working,

03:16they can pile up fast,

03:18creating a serious waste problem.

03:20Qatar Foundation is collecting these devices,

03:23breaking them down,

03:25and recycling the valuable materials inside.

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

03:34It has a lot of toxins in them,

03:37such as cadmium, arsenic, and mercury.

03:40It causes a lot of problems for the environment.

03:43What we're trying to do is,

03:43we'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.
