The generous support of QNB, Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA), QDB, and Media City Qatar helped ensure wide-ranging engagements and discussions during this year’s edition.
“It was a privilege to deliver the keynote address at QNDCC 2025 on behalf of the Al-Attiyah Foundation. This important event serves as a vital platform for policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to exchange ideas and accelerate action on climate and energy transition.
“Under the leadership of Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah, the Foundation remains steadfast in promoting dialogue and collaboration that support a more sustainable and resilient global future,” said board member of the Al-Attiyah Foundation and former Minister of Energy and Industry for the State of Qatar H E Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh Al Sada.
Justin Mundy, Chair of Earthna Centre for a Sustainable Future, emphasised the urgency of addressing climate change as a scientific, not political, challenge.
“Climate change is extremely important,” he said. “This is not a political issue; this is a scientific issue, because physics, chemistry, and biology tell us that the planet is warming. We are not only doing this for future generations; we must do more for our present generation. The time to act is now.”
