00:00KONIEC

00:02I liked how there's a lot of plants

00:04and how I see a lot of things

00:06that I never saw before.

00:08Plants can grow without sun

00:10and soil

00:12just by water and light.

00:14The most enjoyable part was seeing

00:16how it went from a barren desert

00:18to sand, a lot, to becoming

00:20this fruitful area

00:22where people come together to help the community.

00:26Hello and welcome

00:28to Qatar 365 with me,

00:30Laila Humaira. On this episode

00:32we shine a light on sustainability

00:34initiatives that have been

00:36galvanizing communities across

00:38the country to do their part

00:40for the environment. But first

00:42I'm here at Green Island in

00:44Education City where recycling,

00:46research and hands-on learning

00:48are helping to foster a

00:50lifestyle of circularity.

00:53These students

00:54are pretty excited to be outside

00:56the classroom. They might

00:58be away from the books and whiteboards

01:00but the learning doesn't stop.

01:02Today, they're on a special tour

01:04of Qatar Foundation's newest

01:06educational facility.

01:08The main objective behind Green Island

01:10is to make sustainability accessible to all

01:12and so we're localizing

01:14sustainability for visiting schools.

01:16It's very important for students

01:18to understand that what they see

01:20elsewhere is also happening in Qatar.

01:22Built on more than 8,000

01:24square meters of land, Green Island

01:26has plenty of space for people

01:28of all ages to explore.

01:30Through partnerships with companies like

01:32Qatar Energy and Agrico,

01:34the facility displays a few of

01:36Qatar's major sustainability

01:38efforts. When students visit us,

01:40they get to know how Qatar is

01:42very ambitious when it comes to solar power.

01:44They get to discover as well

01:46how the future of agriculture

01:48is mainly about hydroponics

01:50and how hydroponics are being implemented.

01:52By going in these different stations,

01:54they get to understand how dense

01:56it works and how cross-functional it is.

01:59Green Island also prides itself

02:01as a recycling hub.

02:03A place where members of the public

02:05can put thought into action.

02:07Other than the four standard

02:08recycling streams of paper,

02:10plastic, glass and metals,

02:12there are three additional bins

02:14to collect electronic waste.

02:16So if you have some old batteries,

02:18cables or tablets to throw out

02:20and you're not sure how or where

02:22to dispose of them,

02:23Green Island also has the facilities

02:25to show you the entire recycling

02:27process for each material.

02:29Beyond learning about recycling

02:32and sustainable efforts,

02:33Green Island's outreach program

02:35also includes hands-on activities

02:37like workshops and games.

02:39What we do is we customize

02:42every single visit to the needs

02:44of the school.

02:45We have a very open discussion

02:47with the schools.

02:48We understand their curriculum

02:49and we understand their needs.

02:50At the core of Green Island's

02:52mission is to lay the foundations

02:54to transform Qatar's growth

02:56into a circular economy.

02:57When we speak about

02:59upcycling construction waste,

03:00we're able to produce urban furniture

03:02using the same materials.

03:04And so explaining to the visitors

03:06and especially the kids

03:07that what used to be waste

03:09as a demolished building

03:10could be converted through a process

03:12into urban furniture

03:14through of course

03:15a very meticulous design process.

03:17This is a typical example

03:19of circular economy

03:20that we would like to convey

03:21and have kids understand very well.

03:23And so far,

03:24school excursions like the one today

03:26have struck a chord with the students

03:28and hopefully leave a lasting impact.

03:31It's really nice.

03:32I like how there's a lot of plants

03:35and how I see like a lot of things

03:38that I never saw before.

03:41Plants can grow without sun and soil

03:44just by water and lights.

03:46Like I recycle and I don't use

03:50like stuff that use pollution

03:54and they recycle everything

03:57that's plastic.

03:59Other than outreach programs,

04:04Qatar has invested billions of dollars

04:06into research specifically looking

04:08at sustainable development

04:09and climate resilience.

04:11From Green Island

04:12to Hamad bin Khalifa University

04:14where I've come to meet

04:15two leading researchers

04:17involved in Qatar's regional

04:19and national efforts

04:20in sustainability and climate change.

04:23Dr. Davia, Dr. Logan,

04:26thank you so much for speaking with us today.

04:29I wanted to start with this

04:30national resilience framework

04:32that you both are working on together.

04:33Can you tell us more about it

04:35and what it aims to achieve?

04:38So, Qatar's climate resilience framework,

04:41what we're trying to do is

04:43to look into different types of risks

04:45that could affect Qatar,

04:47including climate risk.

04:49And what we're trying to do is

04:51is build an institutional collaboration

04:54with academia,

04:55where we're trying to develop tools

04:57and strategies through research

05:00and to help empower decision makers

05:03and stakeholders to understand

05:05what kind of climate risks

05:07are going to affect Qatar

05:08and what kind of solutions could emerge.

05:11And speaking of international,

05:12you both also lead a regional

05:14climate change group,

05:16more specifically looking at sustainability

05:18within or in arid environments.

05:20Can you tell us how that is different

05:23to that first initiative

05:24that you're working on?

05:26The region in the Arabian Gulf

05:28shares a lot of similar challenges.

05:31Water scarcity, arid environments,

05:34hot temperatures in the summers.

05:36If we are able to collaborate across,

05:39we can make progress faster,

05:40learn from each other,

05:41and move forward or sort of leapfrog

05:45into a more sustainable future faster.

05:48Bringing it back to Qatar,

05:50what are some specific challenges

05:51that this country faces

05:53when it comes to climate change

05:54and sustainability?

05:55And how can research formulate solutions

05:59for these challenges?

06:00Qatar is pretty unique.

06:01We do share a lot of the same challenges

06:04as our region,

06:05but it's a hyper-arid country

06:07with water scarcity.

06:10Environmentally, we have sea level rise,

06:12increase of temperature,

06:14and that could put a strain

06:16on our power sector,

06:18our water sector.

06:19It also could put a strain as well

06:21on importing food

06:23and other kinds of things.

06:25With the research that we're doing,

06:27how we're trying to adapt

06:29to a changing climate

06:31and adjust to environmental challenges

06:33we face,

06:34and this also involves the public.

06:35I know everyone has a role to play

06:37in our consumption behaviors

06:39and our behaviors

06:40and our choices.

06:41So taking our research,

06:42not just to government partners

06:43and private sector partners,

06:45but also the public at large

06:47and beyond,

06:48so everyone can play their part

06:50adapting to the changing climate.

06:52And finally,

06:53with all of the groundwork

06:54and foundation

06:55that you have done,

06:56researching sustainability

06:57and climate change efforts,

06:59how can the world learn

07:02from smaller states like Qatar

07:04and the sustainability efforts

07:05being done here?

07:06So I think Qatar has gone through

07:10through a lot of challenges.

07:12Our heritage,

07:13in terms of living

07:14in a very harsh environment,

07:16we could showcase to the world

07:18how a world post-climate change

07:20look like.

07:21I think Qatar has done

07:22an amazing job in terms

07:23of building the education sector,

07:25building the kind of working groups

07:28that are trying to solve challenges

07:30that we will not face

07:31in the next five years

07:32but maybe 10, 15 years,

07:34and proper planning.

07:36Transformation of the state of Qatar

07:38over the last three decades

07:40has been remarkable.

07:43How do you rapidly shift

07:45from a really growing economy

07:48where you have a lot of construction?

07:49How can you do that

07:51alongside sustainability goals

07:53and aspirations?

07:54And the state of Qatar offers

07:56a lot of insights for others.

07:58From Qatar's national sustainability strategy

08:05back to another community initiative

08:07here in Education City.

08:09Johanna Hu's visits an eco-friendly

08:12micro-farm that hopes to grow

08:14a greener future for all.

08:17It's harvest day at the Giving Garden

08:19and green-fingered volunteers

08:21have shown up in numbers

08:22to reap the crops that are ripe

08:24and ready to be picked.

08:25What started out as a vision last year

08:28has blossomed into Doha's first

08:30sustainable micro-farm

08:31in Qatar Foundation's Education City

08:33dedicated to organic produce

08:35and to giving back.

08:37The whole Education City micro-farm

08:39is sustainable.

08:41It's organic.

08:42So the Giving Garden

08:43follows the same principles.

08:45We have drip irrigation system

08:47to limit the water usage.

08:49We don't spray any pesticides.

08:51We don't use chemical fertilizers.

08:52we only use compost.

08:55And we thought we can grow

08:56a lot of vegetables,

08:57organic vegetables,

08:59and deliver them to the community.

09:02The Giving Garden is a collaboration

09:04between gardening education company

09:06Hadika and charity Feed a Friend

09:09with help from youth organization

09:11The Student Reach.

09:12Together they aim to enhance

09:13sustainable farming in Qatar

09:15by producing fruit and vegetables

09:17that have minimal impact on the planet

09:19that maximum impact on the community.

09:22From the feedback that I've heard

09:23from the volunteers

09:24they've enjoyed mostly making new friends

09:26and I've heard a lot of feedback

09:28that gardening is very therapeutic

09:30and the most enjoyable part

09:32was seeing how it went from a barren

09:34just like desert sand lot

09:36to becoming just like this fruitful area

09:39where just people come together

09:41maybe once or twice a week

09:42to just make friends

09:43and help the community.

09:44There's no cherry picking at the Giving Garden.

09:47To avoid food waste

09:48all edible fruits and vegetables

09:50are harvested

09:51regardless of their shape and size.

09:53We don't throw vegetables

09:54even if they have a bad shape

09:56if they are a bit smaller

09:58or if they don't look the right color

10:00as the vegetables that we see

10:02at the supermarket.

10:03Even if some things are damaged

10:06by pests or diseases

10:08then we might still add them

10:10in the compost bin

10:12and in general

10:14the food waste is

10:16I would say zero.

10:17Once packed in sustainable brown bags

10:20volunteers like Stephanie

10:21take the produce

10:22to well-placed Feed-a-Friend

10:24community fridges

10:25leaving the nutritious and fresh food

10:27free for anyone to take.

10:29The community fridges

10:30with Feed-a-Friend

10:31are places all over Doha.

10:33I think there are more

10:34than 80 fridges right now

10:35and that number is going up every day

10:37that are a place that are open

10:39to anybody to put food in

10:41or to take food out.

10:43So the Giving Garden is great

10:44because it provides

10:45fresh nutritional produce

10:47directly to the fridges

10:48for those friends

10:49in our community.

10:50Through its collaboration

10:51with the student reach

10:52and by encouraging volunteers

10:53to bring their kids

10:55the Giving Garden aims

10:56to bring young people

10:57to the farm.

10:58The team hopes that

10:59by getting their hands

11:00dirty together

11:01it will nurture a love of nature

11:02in the next generation

11:04ensuring a greener future

11:05and a garden

11:06that will keep on giving.

11:08I'm happy to bring my kids

11:10both to the Giving Garden

11:11because it's a nice chance

11:12for them to get out in nature

11:13to help with the gardening

11:15but then it's also good for them

11:16to take what's produced here

11:18to the fridges.

11:19For them to see direct impact

11:23on our community

11:24is really nice

11:25and a rare thing for them

11:26to see and be a part of

11:28and it helps teach them gratitude.

11:29From Green Island

11:30to the Giving Garden

11:31building an eco-friendly

11:32and sustainable living ecosystem

11:33is how Qatar is committing

11:35to building a future

11:36where the economy

11:37and environment

11:38thrive hand in hand.

11:39We hope you've enjoyed
