will our LNG projects bring additional cleaner energy to customers across the globe, but we will continue our heightened commitment to our central role in the global energy transition.' HE Al Kaabi further stated plans to reduce the carbon intensity of its LNG facilities, 'utilising sophisticated carbon sequestration methods to capture and sequester 9 mn tons of CO2 per annum by the end of this decade.' QatarEnergy launched its Sustainability Strategy in 2021, with several targets in alignment with the Paris Agreement and a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The Strategy was updated in March 2022, setting targets to capture over 11 mn tonnes of CO2 annually by 2035. This will further reduce the carbon intensity of LNG facilities by 35% and upstream facilities by 25% (up from 25% and 15% by 2030 respectively). Qatar is also conducting long-term research to address other environmental priorities in the energy sector, like reducing methane and working with partners to develop and integrate carbon capture and storage technologies across operations. Moving away from the hydrocarbon sector, the state's first large-scale solar power plant was announced in 2020 to provide sustainable, affordable and clean energy. How the public can get involved One of the first projects is the One Million Trees Initiative by the Ministry of Municipality, which will be completed before the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM begins. Residents, schools, embassies and the private sector are all encouraged to participate – visit mme.gov.qa to find out more. The Ministry is also raising awareness about waste management under the Zero Waste Campaign to improve community health. The Ministry's waste treatment centre is one of the largest in the Middle East, producing fertiliser, electricity, biogas and recyclable material. Public awareness is the focal point of Qatar Environment Day which takes place on 26 February each year. Residents can take part in webinars and workshops, tree planting and beach clean-ups, as well as watch the release of deer and birds at Qatar's nature reserves. Meanwhile, the Qatar International Agricultural & Environmental Exhibitions (AgriteQ and EnviroteQ) invites industry specialists to explore agricultural technologies and equipment, meet experts and discuss best practices in order to achieve food security and sustainable development.

A sustainable FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Sustainability has been a core consideration in the design, preparation and delivery, so that the tournament leaves a lasting legacy across its infrastructure and environment. Stadiums have been designed to consume 30% less energy and 40% less water, and built to serve communities in Qatar and around the world after the event. The stadiums will have more than 850,000 sq m of new green spaces with over 5,000 native trees and plants. In legacy mode, excess seating will be removed thanks to modular designs – Stadium 974 (below) is even the first fully dismountable venue! In 2015, FIFA and the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) began to develop and implement the event’s Sustainability Strategy. This was the first to be planned and delivered jointly by FIFA, SC on behalf of the host country, and the local organisers, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 LLC (Q22). The Sustainability Strategy was unveiled in January 2020 and is in line with the United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Adopted by world leaders in September 2015, there are 17 universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or Global Goals, and 169 targets, setting out a vision for ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The Sustainability Strategy for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 TM has been aligned with the most relevant SDGs based upon sustainability topics and human rights issues and will achieve 11 SDGs.
