DOHA: The Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics has launched an online survey for feedback from citizens and residents on how to build a sustainable and thriving eco-system.
The Baseline Survey of Environmental Attitude and Belief of Residents in Qatar is being conducted in collaboration with Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI), a national research institute of Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
It will continue for a month and all residents are encouraged to complete it at the ministry’s website (www.mdps.gov.qa).
“Local and global environment is a fundamental source of life. But in the last three decades, the global and local environment is experiencing major changes, resulting in catastrophic human and economic impact.
“Hence, protecting and nurturing the natural resources are more important than ever. Every individual can do his/her share in protecting the environment by minimising energy and water consumption and increasing resource efficiency,” the ministry said in a statement.
This is the first of three surveys and is addressing one of Qatar’s two major grand challenges — water and energy.
The second and third surveys will address other major issues such as waste, food, urbanisation, climate change, local environmental initiatives and the role of the government in environmental protection.
Results of this survey will be invaluable for the ministry and QEERI to support environmental education and awareness programmes and provide informed recommendations to policymakers and government stakeholders.
