HE Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Sheikh Dr. Faleh bin Nasser bin Ahmed bin Ali Al-Thani delivered a compelling speech, underscoring Qatar's commitment to environmental conservation and its impressive sustainability milestones since 1996. The dialogue spotlighted Qatar's green urban developments, advanced transportation networks, and significant solar power initiatives.
