Doha: Qatar Green Building Council’s (QGBC) first Qatar Sustainability Week 2016 will be held from November 13 to 17 to further engage the community in sustainability-oriented activities.
The initiative will serve as a platform to promote Qatar’s sustainability vision and community engagement with stakeholders.
The event will showcase efforts of Qatar’s public and private sectors, providing support, coordination and advice to unite under an overarching umbrella to achieve the country’s sustainable development goals.

“The week will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to showcase innovative and practical solutions to environmental challenges facing Qatar and the region and assist in achieving the global sustainability goals outlined in Qatar National Vision 2030.
“The effectiveness of the event will be determined by participation of stakeholders from the private and public sectors. We look forward to welcoming widespread participation,” he said.
