Doha: The Earthna Summit invited sustainability stakeholders from across the world to share their lived experiences, their indigenous knowledge, their research and innovations, and their ideas and solutions.
It catalysed a two-way conversation between those who have globally universal sustainability expertise, and those whose specific knowledge of their environment, its history, and how their ancestors addressed challenges that existed in their time as they do in ours can offer practicable, relevant solutions that enrich the global conversation on sustainability and climate change.
To put this conversation in action, the Earthna Summit hosted the Earthna Village at Barahat Msheireb that showcased indigenous, sustainable practices that span cultural, environmental, and social sustainability. The exhibition had three themed zones: the sea, food and ancestral tools, and textiles and crafts.
Additionally, the exhibition’s agora section hosted practitioners to hold short, interactive discussions with the audience about their exhibits, their connection to sustainability, the sustainability challenges their countries and regions face, and how they can be addressed. Some exhibitors also had the opportunity to host mini-workshops on their exhibits and sustainability solutions.
