Sustainable Qatar

Abstract

The Qatar National Vision of 2030 has identified bold and transformational goals for the country. As envisioned by the State of Qatar, the transition to sustainable Qatar weaves together four pillars of economic, social, human, and environmental development. Yet, the country faces significant challenges, and with these challenges a range of options for future pathways. With the National Vision 2030 being launched in 2008, this volume provides an update on the key sustainability issues, focusing on environmental sustainability from a socio-political perspective.
