Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani attended the opening session of COP31, the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Antalya, Turkey. The summit, which was attended by various heads of state, government, and official delegations, marked Qatar's commitment to addressing climate change.
H H the Amir's participation reflects Qatar's vision that tackling climate change is a collective responsibility, necessitating international cooperation, implementation focus, and practical outcomes to support sustainable development. His Highness's presence at the summit also offers a platform to showcase national initiatives in sustainability and climate action, facilitating knowledge exchange with other nations and organizations, and exploring solutions to enhance community and sectorial resilience against climate change impacts.
Qatar's engagement in international climate change conferences dates back to 2014, when H H the Amir participated in the UN Climate Change Summit in New York, where he underscored Qatar's commitment to multilateral efforts against global warming. This dedication has been consistent, with H H the Amir's attendance at multiple climate conferences, including the 22nd COP in Marrakech in 2016 and the Climate Action Summit in New York in 2019, where he announced a $100 million contribution to support Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries in addressing climate change.
