Minister of Environment and Climate Change H E Sheikh Dr. Faleh bin Nasser bin Ahmed bin Ali Al Thani said that the Ministry is also laying out and implementing the National Climate Change Action Plan which identified 300 actions to reduce the actual or anticipated effects of climate change.

The Shura Council yesterday held its ordinary weekly meeting under the chairmanship of Speaker of the Shura Council H E Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim. In the presence of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the council discussed a number of issues related to the environment, plans and strategies for conserving the environment, along with challenges and projects in this field.

Speaker of the Shura Council praised the efforts being exerted by MoECC to implement the National Environment and Climate Change Strategy (QNE), pointing, in this context, to the close connection between Qatari people and their environment since ancient times, and their keenness to never damage it something which is rooted in their behaviours and habits they inherited from their ancestors.

Al Ghanim asserted that ancestors had consolidated sustainability concepts and environment conservation through their coexistence with terrestrial and marine environments.
