He emphasized the country's success in demonstrating the technical and economic feasibility of carbon capture and storage technologies and implementing effective measures across various economic sectors. He also stressed the importance of international cooperation and technology transfer to support projects related to emissions reduction.
Several international experts from the World Green Growth Organization, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute participated in the session. They reviewed global trends in developing integrated carbon management systems, enhancing market transparency, and supporting innovation in mitigation technologies for high-emission industries.
The State of Qatar continues its participation in the conference through a series of specialized sessions and discussions until November 21, with the aim of showcasing national initiatives in the field of climate change and exchanging experiences with regional and international partners.
