4.8 million trees planted till now under Plant 10 Million Trees project

Doha, Qatar - The National Planning Council held a podcast featuring Undersecretary of the Ministry of Municipality, H E Eng. Ali bin Mohammed Al Ali, discussing various initiatives of the country. The main topics included food security, tree planting efforts, building permit processes, digital transformation of public services, and the progress of the ten million trees project.

Eng. Al Ali confirmed that local markets have not faced any food shortages since the regional crisis began, attributing this to the Ministry's efforts. In fact, the Ministry now issues residential villa building permits within a single day, as opposed to more than thirty days previously, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.

The Ministry is undertaking the ten million trees project in phases, planting trees along major roads like Salwa Road in collaboration with various entities including QatarEnergy. As of now, the project has reached half of its goal, with approximately 4.8 million trees already planted. The Undersecretary also highlighted the Ministry's digitization of nearly 29 million documents and the ongoing effort to prioritize requests according to their importance, with customer satisfaction reaching 86%.
