Sustainable development is a critical component of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and of the national strategy implementing it. The State of Qatar is developing policies aimed at protecting the environment, sustaining economic prosperity, and developing a knowledge-based society. The three pillars of sustainability—environment, economy, and society—are closely interlinked and need to be treated as such by policymakers. In this chapter, we first discuss the systemic nature of the sustainability challenges of Qatar, particularly focusing on the complex transition the country is facing as it moves away from the current rentier economic model, with its social and environmental implications, towards a new model where new, knowledge-based industries develop in areas such as climate-tech and services. We then discuss systems analysis frameworks and tools at the disposal of governments to support sustainability policy design, and we illustrate one tool in particular that we are developing at QEERI: an energy systems model. We conclude with recommendations on equipping Qatar with an analytical toolkit to support sustainability policymaking.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive perspective on the development of a long‐term low‐emission development strategy for Qatar, in line with the Paris Agreement. The methodology used in this paper takes a holistic approach by analyzing national strategies, structures, and mitigation measures from other countries, and synthesizing these with Qatar's unique context in terms of its economy, energy production, and consumption, as well as its energy‐related emission profile and characteristics. The findings of this paper identify key considerations and elements that policymakers would need to take into account when developing a long‐term low‐emission vision for Qatar, with a particular emphasis on its energy sector. The policy implications of this study are significant for policymakers in Qatar, as well as for other countries facing similar challenges in their transition to a sustainable future. This paper contributes to the discourse on energy transition in Qatar and provides insights that can inform the development of potential routes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Qatar's energy system. It serves as a foundation for further research and analysis and can contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable policies and strategies for low‐emission development in Qatar and beyond.

This chapter examines the organisation of sports mega-events (SMEs) and its relationship with achieving sustainable development goals. By focusing on the conditions of sustainability and guided by the results of previous studies, the chapter investigates the case of the organisation of the World Cup 2022 in the State of Qatar. Previous work on the 2022 World Cup has focused largely on Qatar’s foreign policy objectives. In this chapter, the focus will instead be on the Qatar Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SCDL) – the organising body charged with delivering the World Cup – and its attempts at successfully organising a sustainable tournament. A critical literature review will be provided in order to highlight the main topics of debate in the area of SMEs and sustainability. Furthermore, a documentary analysis of related policy documents including Qatar Vision 2030 will be conducted. In this regard, the role of organising SMEs in achieving sustainable development will be discussed alongside the expected benefits from organising SMEs for Qatar. Special attention will be given to the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The object of this research is the energy policy of Qatar on the example of gas sector. The subject of this research is the key directions and trends in the development of energy policy, i.e. its external and internal dimensions. Detailed analysis is conducted on the energy diplomacy of Qatar being a small state. The author determines the key areas for further use of gas export revenues for sustainable development of Qatar's national economy and its diversification. The article explores the peculiarities of Qatar’s energy diplomacy; its interaction with the European and Asian countries, the United States, as well as multinational energy corporations for the purpose of development of the own fuel and energy infrastructure. The scientific novelty lies in the attempt to generalize the key vectors of energy policy of modern Qatar, aligning them with the goals of economic development set in the strategic plan “Vision 2030”. This article is first to introduce sources in foreign languages into the scientific discourse. Leaning on these sources, the author reveals the “success factors” of Qatar's energy policy and growth potential, including in the conditions of “green transition”. The conclusion is made that Qatar would continue to invest in the development of gas sector, which is the major resource for qualitative assessment of the economic model. Such development implies open interaction with various external actors and the use of the latest technologies.

For countries that depend on nonrenewable resources such as oil and gas, economic diversification is vital to ensure sustainable and resilient economic development. In July 2008, the government of Qatar launched the long-term national strategy Qatar 2030 (QNV 2030), intending to transform Qatar into a knowledge-based economy capable of attaining sustainable development by 2030. Since then, the Qatari government has invested continually and implemented many policies to encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, the private sector, and the advancement of human capital competencies to turn the economy into a knowledge-based one. Indeed, entrepreneurship is a crucial engine for economic development, one of the essential engines of economic diversification and building a knowledge-based economy. Qatar has, therefore, made a significant determination to develop a flourishing entrepreneurial ecosystem, including establishing key institutions and organizations to support entrepreneurs, such as incubators and financial framework, as evidenced by the increasingly strong performances in key international indices published by multiple global organizations. Nevertheless, despite Qatar’s desire to diversify its economic base, entrepreneurs still have to contend with some challenges. Some of these difficulties are inextricably linked to Qatar’s features as a rentier state. This chapter aims to analyze the present state of the knowledge-based economy in Qatar with a focus on the entrepreneurial ecosystem. It has two objectives. Firstly, the chapter intends to investigate the features and recent development of Qatar's entrepreneurial ecosystem, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, the article intends to examine the dynamics and many challenges that shape this ecosystem.

This research focuses on the modeling of the causality of sustainable tourism in Qatar. The existing literature illustrates that there is no such model available in context of economy of Qatar. The research follows the procedure of identifying the variables which influence sustainability and seeking the links between them through the contemporary literature. The hypotheses are built to study the significance of relationship between the variables which have been causally linked to each other. Second generation statistical method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Partial Least Square Method (PLSM) has been used. This method has been specifically chosen for its ability to undertake factor analysis and regression simultaneously and address the issue of multi-colinearity. Confirmatory factor analysis which has been undertaken as the indicators of measurement have proved validity through earlier studies. An instrument of measurement in the form of a questionnaire using 5-point Likert scale has been developed and validated using which the data has been collected for a sample size of 211 (response rate 62%). The respondents were the managers of tourism business in Qatar. The results have indicated that out of ten hypotheses tested six have been accepted. Based on the revelation of hypothesis testing implications have been drawn for the benefit of the tourism managers so that sustainability of tourism can be promoted. This research outcome is useful to the strategic managers of tourism in Qatar particularly in this important stage when Qatar is making preparations to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Abstract During the past two decades, Qatar, a developing country, has invested heavily in infrastructure development to address several challenges caused by the rapid urbanization. Qatar has made a significant step toward its urban sustainability vision through the construction of the Doha Metro system. By adopting Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), Qatar is overcoming some urban challenges. TOD promotes compact, walkable, and mixed-use development around the transit nodes, which enhances the public realm through providing pedestrian-oriented and active spaces. Additionally, Qatar aims to transfer to a knowledge-based economy through developing an environment that will attract knowledge and creative human power. Qatar Foundation is taking the lead toward implementing a Knowledge-Based Urban Development (KBUD) through its flagship project: Education City (EC). This study aims therefore to evaluate the integration of TOD and KBUD strategies to leverage the potential of TOD in attracting knowledge and creative economy industries. The selected case study is Qatar National Library (QNL) metro station at the EC in Doha. The study examines the potential of QNL as a destination TOD to enhance the area's mission as a driver for a knowledge-based economy. The methodological approach is based on the analytical concepts obtained from the Integrated Modification Methodology as a sustainable urban design process. The study’s results revealed that void and function, followed by volume, are the weakest layers of the study area's Complex Adaptive System which require morphological modification to achieve sustainability and a knowledge-hub TOD. The study offers recommendations to assist planners and designers in making better decisions toward regenerating urban areas through a knowledge-hub TOD contributing to the spill out of knowledge and creativity into the public realm creating a human-centric vibrant public space adjacent to metro stations.

Sustainable urban design of cities in the 21st century is challenged by serious problems centered around the over-dependency on the car as a the main transportation system. The car has generated problems of urban inefficiency, contributing to traffic congestion, pollution, fragmentation of urban fabric and other environmental and social challenges. In the context of Doha, Capital City of the State of Qatar, the over-dependency on the car is justified by the lack of alternative modes of transportation that could support the need to connect fragmented urban districts and provide an effective solution to urban sprawl. Therefore, the implementation of an alternative transportation system in Doha, represented by Qatar Rail, is creating potential for a urban development that addresses recent challenges of livability, sustainability and urban growth in cities. Referring to applicable cases in other countries and regions that have successfully implemented alternative transportation systems, the planning of LRT (light rail transit systems) and transit villages (or Transit Oriented Developments, known as TODs) is proving the workable approach of urban revitalization. Thus, the fragmentation of the urban development of Doha must be tackled through this approach. The cultural core of Doha is an attractive site for an integrated urban development that considers urban livability, connectivity and sustainability of the public realm. This research study explores (1) how public transit systems can be utilized as means of urban transformation and regeneration in the cultural core of Doha; (2) the progress and implications of the development of the new transportation system for the planning of Doha's built environment; and (3) the extent to which Transit Oriented Developments (TODs) are strategic for sustainable urbanism and smart growth in Qatar. The aim of the research is (1) to explore and investigate the extent to which the spatial form of the built environment of the cultural core of Doha can be enhanced through TOD; (2) to amplify cultural value, social interactions and/or social capital and, therefore, contributing to creating a more livable environment. Data is obtained through rigorous site analysis of the multiple urban layers of three selected sites within the cultural core of Doha. This approach is directed toward the understanding of the remodeling potential of the cultural center of Doha responding to the introduction of the new rail system. The implementation of a well-structured TOD is expected to foster a cultural revival of the city's cultural core and provide sustainable and livable choices that support sustainable urbanism and focuses on quality of life within cities of today. The research study explores the locations of Qatar Rail metro stations in three vibrant areas of Doha's cultural core. The three areas are (A) Msheireb Downtown Doha, (B) Souq Waqif and (C) the National Museum of Qatar. The exploration includes review of the relevant literature on the urban history of the three selected cases, in addition to a site analysis that considers the location of the metro stations and adjacent districts. The research study concludes by envisioning designed models of TODs, based on resultant planning strategy and development guidelines. The final urban design schemes propose an integrated mix-use development, comprising residential, business, and commercial activities, located within a walking distance from the three transit stations in Doha's cultural core, introducing a new compact and livable community development. Findings are contributing to the application of TODs in Qatar by enhancing the strategic planning of Qatar Rail to effectively incorporate such concept within the planning of the new project. Also, this research study contributes to the provision of an applicable model for the implementation of TODs in Qatar and in the Middle East Region (MENA), addressing the enduring challenges of urbanism and urban planning in the Islamic city.

Strategies for tourism planning gain a new perspective that uses spatial and behavioural parameters in analyzing and selecting suitable locations for resort development. This perspective uses natural resources and potentials and focuses on sustainable ecotourism development. The main objective of the present research is to evaluate the parameters used in locating existing tourism resort sites in the state of Qatar and to enhance these parameters for future site elections and tourism regulations that take into consideration the demands of natural and cultural ecotourism. Satellite images and physiographic maps of Qatar were collected and analyzed. Data on tourists’ perceptions and preferences with respect to selected tourism sites were collected by means of questionnaire interviews. The findings demonstrate the importance of tourists’ concerns in the planning process for tourism sites and show a low level of awareness of and interest in ecotourism among residents as well as among local and regional tourist...

The last decade has witnessed a rapid technological development that contributed to improving the quality of life in many aspects. As new technologies come to life, more innovations evolve. Many of these innovations have been effectively translated into large-scale applications, creating an initiative called “Smart Cities”, which aims to make cities more sustainable and reliable to adapt to the increasing needs and challenges associated with the growing urbanization. Some developing countries have adopted these “Smart Cities” initiatives to serve their strategic development visions. Qatar, for example, is a developing country in the Middle East with a comprehensive nation-al vision by 2030 that defines the framework in which national strategies and implementation plans can be developed to make Qatar an advanced society capable of sustaining its development and providing a high standard of living for its people. As the Smart Qatar journey evolves and expands, a comprehensive e-government system and digital infrastructure have been launched along with the initiation of two large Real Estates projects as an insight to Smart Cities, Msheireb Downtown Doha, with $5.5 billion investment, and Lusail City, that was introduced on the momentum of 2022 FIFA World Cup. This paper takes Qatar as an example of developing country and studies how Lusail Smart City strategy contributed to tangible real-life applications that were contextual and relevant to Qatar’s current and future challenges, aspirations and needs as part of its national vision in 2030, in addition to summarizing some lessons that can benefit other developing countries that would take similar steps.

Environmental sustainability has been increasingly present on Qatar’s policy agenda since the early 2000s, with the ratification of the Permanent Constitution, the issuance of several environmental laws, and the launch of Qatar National Vision 2030, and its supplementary strategies. This chapter tracks the development of environmental policy through surveying the country’s key ‘guiding’ policy documents; Qatar National Vision 2030, the first and second National Development Strategies, sectoral strategies, and through reviewing laws and regulations that have been issued so far to safeguard the ecological systems and their inhabitants. This chapter also investigates the respective government institutions and how their role has evolved over the years.

Hosting the FIFA World Cup, an international football competition for national men’s teams, in Qatar has acted as a catalyst for environmental sustainability. A mega sporting event such as the FIFA World Cup requires concerted efforts from nearly all sectors of a country. A strong sustainability program with a focus on preparation, event time operations, and post-event legacy was required to capitalize on the opportunities associated with hosting such an event. A robust and inclusive process to design such a program for the event laid the foundation for positive legacy outcomes. The legacy outcomes are categorized as physical, knowledge, and institutional, all being important contributors towards the realization of the Qatar National Vision 2030. This chapter describes the sustainability program development process, provides examples of how strategic initiatives for Sustainable Buildings, Greenhouse gas Emissions, and Waste Minimization catalysed positive developments leading to strong and tangible legacy outcomes. It is plausible that future events may look to this program to seek inspiration and lessons learnt for how to design and benchmark their sustainability programs. Qatar will also host many large events in the future, including the Asian Games 2030, and will capitalize on the developments that the FIFA World Cup brought about.

Qatar is itself particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and has consequently implemented various sustainable development policies and environmental protection legislation to mitigate such harm. Despite this, it remains the world’s highest per capita emitter of carbon dioxide emissions and holds vast energy reserves that would further contribute to climate change. Sea level rises, ocean warming, desertification and loss of natural diversity all threaten Qatar’s environment. As the nation seeks to rapidly develop, it faces considerable challenges to achieve its development sustainably. Following an explanation of the laws and policies Qatar has implemented as well as the international conventions it has ratified, the chapter identifies the limitations for a private party wishing to bring climate change litigation in Qatar. Lack of standing, the inability to demonstrate quantifiable damages, the required burden of proof, and the rules of liability all hinder the opportunity to litigate. The chapter demonstrates that effectively top-down state action, such as the introduction of regulations, is the only means to achieve further progress on climate change prevention and mitigation. It also shows that this is well within the power of the legislature and executive, given their unfettered ability to introduce regulations and compel compliance. The chapter concludes with a recommendation for a special environmental damage regime and to enhance the jurisdiction of administrative judiciary.

The gas-rich nation, Qatar, became the first Middle Eastern country to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022, after beating South Korea, Japan, Australia, and the US. Qatar invested an enormous amount of money in implementing the measures outlined by FIFA and United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the World Cup was included in Qatar’s sustainable Vision 2030. Qatar has gained international support and wants to host more mega-events despite controversies surrounding its FIFA World Cup, including workers’ deaths during infrastructure construction and protests from western athletes, politicians, and media against the Qatari government and FIFA’s ban on LGBT+ symbols and alcohol in the stadium. Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup left a sustainable legacy by following ESG principles. This paper analysed how FIFA 2022 applies SDGs, ESG, and Islamic principles and their managerial implications. We concluded with lessons to be learnt from FIFA 2022 and Qatar’s investments in green infrastructure, sustainable mobility, and carbon offsetting, as well as how the country’s efforts to leave a sustainable legacy after the event could inspire other nations.

As in many parts of the world, the tertiary education sector in Qatar is growing rapidly, viewed as key to national development on the path to the “knowledge society”. The states of the Islamic world, with a significant but long-obscured past of scientific achievement, are witnessing a contemporary renaissance. The establishment of international offshore, satellite or branch campuses in the Arabian Gulf region emphasizes the dynamism of higher education development there: more than a third of the estimated hundred such university campuses worldwide exist there. Within the context of extraordinary expansion of higher education and science in this region, Qatar presents a valuable case of university development to test the diffusion of an emerging global model not only in quantitative, but also in qualitative terms. With an abbreviated history of several decades, Qatar's higher education and science policies join two contrasting strategies. These contrasting strategies are prevalent in capacity building attempts worldwide: (1) to match the strongest global exemplars through massive infrastructure investment and direct importation of existing organizational ability, faculty, and prestige, and (2) to cultivate native human capital through development of local competence. Thus, university-related and science policy making on the peninsula has been designed to directly connect with global developments while building local capacity in higher education and scientific productivity. Ultimately, the goal is to establish an “indigenous knowledge economy”. To what extent has Qatar's two-pronged strategy succeeded in building such bridges? Does the combination of IBCs and a national institution represent a successful and sustainable path for the future of higher education and science in Qatar — and for its neighbors?

This study aimed to explore the processes of business networking which lays the foundation for business legacy outcomes initiated by the award of a mega event in a region. Building on the work of Spilling (1996) on mega event business impacts, we interviewed 24 stakeholders in Qatar from sport organizations about business planning and impacts of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Qualitative data analysis revealed a process that involved a relationship between certain factors. For example, country context factors included political, religious and cultural elements. These country context factors can create business drivers and barriers that lead to sustainable business networking event legacy outcomes. Drivers and barriers included networking complexity factors, speed of internationalization, and country constraints. Targeted sustainable business networking legacy outcomes involved cultural change, innovation, social and human capital development and re-positioning of the country in the business world.

Designing and implementing sustainable solutions means to take responsibility for the welfare of future generations as well as for our environment and planet. Positive approach towards sustainability should be an essential part of the ethical base of our lifestyle and actions. Moreover, sustainable development is a vital aspect of the educational agenda at all levels. Universities and higher education institutions have a great responsibility in promoting sustainable development, not only through the educational programs they offer, but also through the involvement of students and staff in the sustainability issues, by encouraging interaction with them. Universities should implement sustainable solutions and adopt sustainability in their future plans, and ultimatel they should have an impact on the society and lead the way by offering knowledge, solutions through influential individuals. Indeed, most universities understood the responsibility and the extreme importance of shifting to more sustainable policies and plans, and most of them have started investing in green buildings future that includes, green building, greener practices and green products along with less environmental impact, and ways of engaging its faculty and students.In the last few years the need for sustainable solutions for universities has rapidly increased. Many efforts have been dedicated to this issue, and now many universities have realized and implemented different plans that suit their needs and nature. These plans have achieved sustainable transport, energy, procurement, food services and many other issues.In this research, a review of other universities’ sustainability plans is used to derive a strategy aimed to improve sustainability inside Qatar University by introducing new solutions, evaluating current implemented methods, and assessing or promoting the use of services already in place. The sustainability plan is designed to deliver a strategic blue print to meet the future development at Qatar University campus via converting its operations, education and research activities towards more sustainable practices. The proposed plan is designed based on the collaboration of three university bodies (students, academics and administrative staff), and it is outlined in three main branches: operational; planning and administration; education and research. The plan identifies and maps the required action to build the initiative to achieve sustainable goals at QU, and proposes new ways to face the challenge of sustainability in academic campuses. The plan also helps in offering a benchmark model for peer higher education organizations inside Qatar, and for other institutions outside Qatar with similar conditions.

Over the last few years, the United Nations’ (UN) goals to achieve a sustainable world by 2030 have made a significant impact on many countries and regions; one such region has been Qatar. The national leadership of Qatar, through the strategic leadership of the ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, embarked on an ambitious programme to transform the country’s vibrant oil and gas-centric economy to a knowledge-based economy. The leadership created the Qatar National Vision (2030), which had a focus on ensuring that local Qataris get the maximum benefit from the economy and fully participate in the process of transforming it into a knowledge-based economy (KBE). The QNV 2030 policy has many strands; however, the overarching thread has been to transform the economy through human development and sustainable productivity. In trying to operationalise the transformation of the economy, the government embarked on short-term programmes, such as the development of local infrastructure through the promotion and hosting of international events, including the Asian games and the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup. As a policy, therefore, the QNV 2030 has centred on ensuring that the economy creates a systematic way of attracting, identifying, developing, engaging, retaining and deploying local Qataris to work as knowledge workers within the local economy; this process could be referred to as ‘talent management’ – a sub-set of the human development vision of the QNV 2030, and of the UN at large. This research found that, from the onset, the QNV 2030 policy had no tangible, detailed plan for organisations operating in Qatar to use in order transform the economy into a knowledge-based system through talent management. The research used interpretivist and positivist research philosophies to design a mixed methodology that relied on questionnaire surveys and interviews to gather both qualitative and quantitative data from the industry and from literature in general. The research used data from 284 questionnaire survey responses, 24 interviews and interpretive structural modelling to establish the overall picture that, while industries are aware of the importance of the QNV 2030, there has been no synchronisation of organisational and national goals. In addition, the research found that local cultural tendencies tend to create toxic working environments where leadership is restricted, talent management stifled, and the wrong jobs are given to the wrong candidates. This is creating demotivation amongst those individuals who are well qualified but not socially or culturally connected. The overarching conclusion of the research has been that, while the national leadership foresees a KBE in Qatar by 2030, the strategic leaders of organisations in the economy have failed to link their organisational vision to the national vision for the country. The operationalisation of the QNV 2030 has, to a large extent, focused on maintaining short-term economic gains as opposed to the longer-term visionary gains that could accrue if managers invested heavily in human development through talent management. As such, this thesis proposes a framework through which Qatar’s local economy might be transformed into a knowledge-based system through the deployment of a matrix of knowledge workers in learning organisations. It also sets out the critical strategic steps to be undertaken by organisations in both the private and public sectors.

Abstract In the past decade the capital city of Doha of the State of Qatar has experienced rapid urban expansion and other changes due to globalization, which has caused (i) the loss of a compact urban pattern, (ii) landscape fragmentation, and (iii) a deficiency of green spaces. Therefore, as envisioned by Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV-2030), the State of Qatar plans to invest substantial funds into the urban regeneration of the built environment, along with the development of large areas of public parks as a means of promoting more sustainable urban development and enhancing city residents’ well-being. Accessibility contributes to the usability of public facilities on the part of the neighborhood community, thus enhancing city dwellers’ well-being. Nonetheless, the authors argue, the urban network along Doha’s Corniche promenade, the dominant open public space and spine of the city, lacks connectivity at various scales of space. Therefore, this research study aims to assess the existing conditions of Doha’s Corniche and recommends strategies for implementing its integration into the newly emerging city’s urban fabric. The findings, revealed through a network-analysis investigation based on graph theory, allows us to generate a framework for shaping open public spaces, promoting higher living standards through a green-network system planned at the city scale. The proposed framework addresses social-ecological challenges of the distinctive public open space and helps define an approach for (i) tailoring the accessibility of public open spaces to their surroundings, and (ii) enhancing city dwellers’ well-being.

This paper reviews the hydro-geochemical characterization of Qatar’s aquifer. In addition, it highlights the opportunities in the current groundwater management practices to achieve a sustainable groundwater use in Qatar such as assessing and monitoring the groundwater quantity and quality. In this review article, the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response framework is used to analyze the water resource system in Qatar; begins by describing the causal chain from driving forces of impacts and finally state the responses. As the main driver is the intensive use of groundwater for agriculture irrigation, this causes high pressure on groundwater abstraction and deteriorate the state of the groundwater environment in term of quantity and quality, which has an impact on the food and water supply demands. Therefore, the final response highlights the need for the enhancing the rainfall infiltration to the aquifers, recharging the groundwater aquifers using treated sewage effluent or desalinated water development of groundwater treatment techniques, the use of efficient water irrigation practices, the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation and the development of certain water-use tariff structures and awareness campaigns for farmers.

Development in Qatar is taking place at an unprecedented rate and such activities are putting the environment at risk, and threatening the ecosystem and biodiversity of the country. According to the Qatar National Vision 2030, the country seeks to preserve and protect its unique environment. The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) is tracking environmental impacts arising from development using tools such as Environmental Impact Assessments and Construction Environmental Management Plans. Although the MME does have a process for review and approval of the content of these assessments, it does not, however, enforce guidelines for ecological survey methodology. This means that the scope and methodology of these surveys may vary, based on the consultant employed. We feel that it would be highly beneficial to introduce country-specific ecological survey guidelines addressing methods for sample point selection, estimating vegetation cover, fauna presence and addressing the need for nocturnal fauna surveys. This will lead to standardized methods and easier comparisons across different sites. We also discuss the need for MME to have a register for professionally qualified and recognized ecologists in the country. Ecologists must be highly qualified with experience in desert environments, and have intricate knowledge of local laws and regulations on the conservation of natural environments and sustainable development.

The growth of international branch campuses (IBCs) in China, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) accounts for a significant portion of the overall growth of IBCs globally. Conversely the largest exporter of IBCs globally is the United States, with several U.S. IBCs located in each of these importing countries. With the intention of focusing on the largest importing countries and the largest exporting country in the development of IBCs, this article presents a comparative analysis of the development of U.S. IBCs in China, Qatar, and the UAE. The analysis serves to add to the discourse on how these organizations are designed and organized from a sustainability perspective to meet the educational demands and regulatory framework of the host country. The divergent strategies for IBC development employed in these three countries provide an ideal medium in which to comparatively explore the poorly understood complexities of IBC development in differing countries. The article draws on three key sources of information to highlight the comparatively different approaches to the organizational development of IBCs within each of the respective regions. To illuminate the differing organizational designs that have emerged in the three counties, this article situates the development of IBCs in a historical context, applies an organizational theory framework, and draws from primary qualitative data collected by the author. The author highlights that the different strategies in the organizational design of IBC business models in each of the three countries evolved due to specific economic strategies unique to the respective country and that the differing strategies are in part necessary for sustainability within the respective host country.

The results of the WTO meeting in Doha could be interpreted in different ways. Interestingly, there are conflicting interpretations of what had actually been agreed with respect to four areas of WTO work. However, we can say that a framework to improve the environment, fight agaunst prverty and push towards sustainable development was established through the historic Ministerial Conference of the WTO held in Doha, Qatar. There will be a long way to go. Since Korea holds sufficiently broad-base agenda, it is necessary and inevitable to trace and track the following discussions related to the new issues. Broadly, Korea should set up its position with the philosophy of freer trade environment in the area of new issues.

The year of 2015 is set to be a milestone for sustainability as governments are increasingly called upon to adopt the UN Post-2015 Development Agenda. Tourism has the potential to contribute directly and indirectly to the Sustainable Development Goals. Particularly, Tourism is seen to be able to play a key role in adopting and implementing sustainable use and management of natural resources, through environment-friendly practices and solutions. Hotels and Food and Beverage business (F&B) are one of the most important components of the tourism sector. Large number of visitors and guests visit hotels and F&B businesses, and waste is automatically generated. Qatar's tourism sector is amongst the fastest growing globally, and the number of tourists that Qatar aims to attract by the year 2030 is projected to reach seven million. The growth in the sector equally means a similar (and natural) increase in the waste generated. Handling solid waste has remained one of the main problems that directly affect the environment. Mismanagement of waste endangers the health of populations especially ones residing near landfills. The problem this research identified was the lack of data and information much needed for policy recommendation addressing recycling of different materials including Food Waste in the hotel industry in Qatar. This study was primarily set up to achieve two folded goal. First, it aims at exploring the current practices within the Hotel Industry in Qatar regarding recycling of waste materials including food. Second, it examines the effect of awareness on Food Waste reduction. To achieve these goals, first, a survey questionnaire was designed to gather the information from a number of 111 hotels (including designated hotel-apartments). Second, an experiment was designed to measure the effect of awareness-cards on Food Waste reduction through comparing the findings from the control and the experiment groups. The survey was conducted during the months of June, July and August, 2015, while the Food Waste experiment took place during the month of Ramadan, 2015. Some of the findings related the two research objectives are presented in the following graphs: The Graph above clearly indicates the average amount of food-waste (FW) generated per guest per day throughout the experiment period of 20 days. The first day of the experiment for the Control Group, i.e. without awareness cards, the average amount of food waste started at 0.6 Kgs per person (i.e. guest), but reduced through the experiment period. For the experiment group when awareness cards were provided on tables the food waste remained very consistent at around 0.2 Kgs per guest. The overall results showed overwhelmingly that awareness, once generated has an immediate, clear and positive influence on customer behaviour, and in this case reduced the average food waste. The experiment measured total food-waste during the 20 days within this restaurant at 1,335 Kgs. Several important points constituted the conclusion and recommendations drawn from the results and analysis of both efforts. The summary highlights the vital importance and need for investments across all aspects of material recycling, which should be encouraged at a government level, and extended to SMEs, to develop local businesses within the recycling sector in Qatar. More efficiency is also required between F&B organisers and charities, and great incentives should be put in place for those participating in recycling efforts, and conversely penalties should be implemented for those organisations not actively pursuing “reduction” strategies to waste. Food cost reduction, without impact on food quality or perceived value, could be conservatively reduced by about 50% through spreading awareness of the impacts of Food Waste on the environment.

The coast is one of the most complex systems on earth as it is the result of the continuous interaction between people, land, and water. These physical processes shape the geomorphology of the coast, which sustains specific ecosystems that provide crucial services to human societies to flourish. This paper aims at expanding the understanding on the functioning of the waterfronts, which are crucial factor to increase the awareness regarding the challenges of developing and governing coastal areas and waterfronts. Evidently, climate change represents the major human-induced source of natural risks. Understanding the risks associated to the coast is crucial to provide safe and resilient human environment. Planners must address the challenges of waterfronts and coastal areas’ planning approaches. Coastal cities are facing the challenge not only by providing high quality services for its inhabitants but also to integrate specific coastal and waterfront uses that demand a large quantity of space and requires highly specialized services. Ports, dwellings, beaches, promenades, protectorates, industry, logistics, resorts, restaurants, are just few of the uses that characterized most coastal cities and waterfronts and need to be integrated into the urban fabric and smartly diminish the consequences of climate change. This paper provides an analytical narrative of Doha, the capital city of Qatar as a typical city-state in addition to significant coastal cities in Qatar like Al-Khor and Al-Wakra. The Gulf always played a major role in Qatar’s economical, social, cultural, and political life. Inhabitants of old Doha being fishermen and pearl divers perceived the Gulf not only as source of their prosperity but also considered as a sacred entity.

The increasing emphasis on global sustainability issues such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and water scarcity has provided a strong mandate for the construction industry to incorporate sustainable practices, more efficient processes and innovative technologies to deliver sustainable project outcomes. Implementing sustainability rating and assessment schemes throughout the lifecycle of projects has been instrumental in achieving high levels of environmental and social performance. This paper presents a case study; the Musaimeer Pumping Station and Outfall (MPSO) project, a strategic asset for Qatar, and discusses the sustainability strategy adopted for achieving the 'Very Good' level Civil Engineering Environmental Quality and Assessment Award Scheme (CEEQUAL) certification for the project. The paper sets out how the project's registration with CEEQUAL International resulted in achievement of sustainability best practice in design and construction phases. Specific achievements with regards to the key CEEQUAL topic areas including project strategy, project management, people and communities, land use and landscape, historic environment, ecology and biodiversity, water environment, physical resources use and management (such as energy, water, materials), and transport are also highlighted in this paper. The paper also provides the importance of the adopted strategy in translating the overarching Qatar National Vision 2030 and alignment with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The challenges faced throughout the project lifecyle and the benefits achieved by undertaking a CEEQUAL assessment for this project are also discussed in this paper.

For the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), developmental pathways and future economic opportunities are inherently tied to either the stabilisation and perpetuation of the oil markets or the diversification and development of new capabilities and resource streams. In spite of such pressures and the past decade of constrained growth and development, political forces continue to affect the capacity for private enterprise and business start-ups to gain a strong and sustainable foothold within this national economy. Additional research is essential to the identification and evaluation of strategic pathways and support systems that can be applied to the KSA resource problem in order to improve the opportunity for long-term, sustainable development. The primary aim of this research is to critically assess the risks and vulnerabilities to commercial banking stability in the KSA by comparing the structural, institutional, and governmental effects and influences on lending and profitability outcomes across the Saudi Arabian and Qatari financial sectors. This research aim focuses on addressing both internal and external forces that are influencing the commercial banking industry and its capacity to perform. In addition, this research aim focuses on the accomplishments and progress that have been made in another resource-dependent nation, Qatar. The research combines primary (qualitative and quantitative research) with secondary data research. The outcome of the research is that Qatar is a country which has taken several steps towards liberating its market and shifting away from dependence on oil. It has developed services in various markets including financial services, tourism, education, and events. In contrast, KSA remains dependent on oil, meaning that its banking system and its institution are vulnerable to shock effects, especially to changes in the price of oil. For this reason, KSA needs a set of changes and reforms so as to open its economy.

In terms of sustainable energy, the Gulf has come a long way since 2008. Resource efficiency programmes, alternative energy projects, clean technology research, sustainable building codes, public transport systems, and green economy strategies are now part of everyday news in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Given their hydrocarbon resources, the Gulf states have a large stake in the ongoing global sustainable energy transition, in which they are currently playing a number of different roles: as ‘movers’, ‘clingers’, and ‘sufferers’. However, only the first of these roles constitutes a tangible option for sustainable development in the region.

Historically, urban ecology has been regarded as a mere extension of human ecology in the urban setting, and has been exercised as a science of parts. For example, urbanization has been studied in isolation of its effects on ecosystem services, richness of biodiversity and climate change. In recent years, concepts of sustainability have been infused into the science of urban ecology, and thus whole cities are viewed as integral ecosystem entities, impacted by urbanization and requiring interdisciplinary approaches of study. It may be argued that desert countries facing imminent desertification, especially those in the Arabian Gulf currently undergoing rampant infrastructural and industrial development, are in a more pressing need for an urban ecological design that would ameliorate the negative impacts of such development on air and soil quality. Additionally, climate change due to urbanization and the increased need for water desalination incur heat island effects and lead to deterioration of water quality, another strong driver to desertification. Qatar offers a very exciting challenge when it comes to urban ecological design and study, as it is a country that is still being developed; it is a country that has recognized the need for a sustainable development framework as that is showcased in the Qatar National Vision 2030; and it is a country whose Master Urban Plan is still not finalized, leaving room for implementation of best practices for a rich urban ecology. In this paper, we discuss aspects of air and water quality, and propose an urban ecological design that favors selection of indigenous and desert-adapted biota to conserve natural resources, conserve biodiversity and improve human well-being.

In sustainable project management, sustainability is integrated into the design, construction and long-term use of the structures being built. This chapter introduces the sustainable project management model, and applies it to the context of event management. Two cases are described. The first looks at sustainable practices in event design and management, and showcases how sustainability can be embedded within the traditional operational aspects of an event. The second outlines innovative approaches towards building sustainable facilities to host mega sports events, with the specific example of the Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

Ports have evolved into an essential part of a nation’s economy [Schipper et al., 2015]. In order to obtain economic growth and prevent loss of trade and competitive position, the worldwide growth in port development will not stop [PIANC 2014a]. At present the port development process typically results in environmental mitigation and/or harm. This translates into a need for integrated sustainable port master planning [PIANC, 2011]. The aim of this research is to develop a practical tool for sustainable port masterplanning in the form of a framework which can be employed by the port planner in order to systematically guide him/her towards a sustainable port. Developing this framework requires knowledge of the traditional planning process and its missing elements, a clear understanding of what exactly defines a sustainable port and how this port can be obtained through a sustainable process, and various existing knowledge about sustainability of ports through the means of existing sustainable philosophies and well-known global maritime organizations. Case studies can be used for the purpose of enhancing and testing the degree of applicability of the framework. To start with, the question should be asked: Why does traditional port planning result in environmental harm/mitigation, and hence does not result in a sustainable port? By analysing the traditional port process, it shows that its main objectives aim to integrate the economic, environmental, safety, technical and social aspects and consider enough flexibility to support the long term development. It therefore would be expected that the traditional approach would not result in environmental harm. However somewhere along the process, several elements are missing which limits the achievement of these main objectives. It turns out that in general the port authority selects the port location and an engineering company is responsible for the design process on that specific location [Schipper et al., 2015]. Here it can be found why the main objectives of the traditional approach are not obtained in the end: although the traditional process indeed considers all relevant disciplines, the party responsible for the location selection does not base its choice on the same disciplines and therefore disciplines such as the environment, will only be considered after the location is selected. If the traditional process does not have the most suitable location for sustainability as starting point, it perhaps inevitably will result in environmental harm from the start. Clearly a new sustainable framework is needed that includes the location choice in the design process, so all the disciplines can already be considered early during the location choice. Developing a sustainable framework requires a clear understanding of a sustainable port and a sustainable port masterplanning process towards this port. The issue encountered with the existing definitions, is that both definitions are intertwined and no clear distinction is made which characteristics belong to the sustainable process and the resulting sustainable port. A sustainable port has obtained and maintains a balance of the economy, environment and society now and in the future, where it also anticipates and considers the needs of future generations, besides their own benefit and the prosperity of the surrounding regions. Furthermore, the definition of a sustainable process can be characterized by the following process ambitions: the location choice as part of the design process, the consideration and search of the multiple perspectives balance of the interlinked economy, environment and society in an early stage, active and early stakeholder involvement, consideration of long term uncertainties and a continuous learning process. I propose a framework including all the characteristics of a sustainable port planning process which unlike the traditional process, already integrates the significant important location selection in the design process to develop a sustainable port: Integrated Sustainable Port Design (ISPD). The ISPD framework is focused on system level and is aiming to find sustainable opportunities while socio-economic values are created as well. This can be achieved by considering and integrating the physical, environmental, governmental and socio-economic disciplines in order to find the most suitable location for these opportunities. With the consideration of long term uncertainties and the help of stakeholder involvement, it provides a framework for the port planner to achieve and maintain a balance of the economy, environment and society now and in the future, resulting in a sustainable and future-proof port. The ISPD framework adopts relevant aspects from existing sustainable philosophies (such as Building with Nature) and fills in the missing aspects of the traditional framework. From start to finish, this framework follows seven basic steps: (1) Define the project needs and objectives, (2) Find physical suitable locations, (3) Understand the systems and select most suitable locations, (4) Develop alternative designs based on key values, (5)Test the alternatives, (6) Evaluate the qualities of each alternative and (7) Create the final design. Three real life case studies have been used for the enhancement of the ISPD framework: the Jebel Ali New Container Terminal (Dubai), the Badagry Port Project (Nigeria) and the New Doha Port (Qatar). Their port planning processes and resulting masterplans were analysed, to discover the extent of influence of the planning process on the sustainability of the masterplan. These cases dealt with critical challenges such as limited expansion area due to bad masterplanning of surrounding projects and coastal erosion. Besides the encountered limitations in practice, they also provided several good examples of sustainable planning measures. These learned lessons were used to enhance the framework for better implementation in practice. The degree of applicability of the ISPD framework was investigated through the application on the Badagry Port Project, which was selected as most suitable to serve this purpose. The illustrative case was designed to follow all seven basic steps of the framework and to discover which (dis)advantages will be encountered along the way. The most significant issue which was encountered is the general thought that sustainable measures require higher costs and bring along more risks than traditional measures. Therefore they require more research, and thus more time and money than traditional measures. These limitations however will always be present in real life and hence should be dealt with in this research as well. For example the important initial location choice, it is up to the port planner to decide if he/she wants to take the risk of possible resistance and limitations of the location on the port design and operation resulting from a rather incomplete initial research, or if the port planner decides to consider this uncertainty by investing more time and money in the research for the most suitable location. It is the responsibility of the port planner to make grounded decisions and the port planner, besides the environmental benefits, should convince the client of the socio-economic benefits of sustainable measures as well. Furthermore, other limitations of the case study were the limited data available of other locations and limitations set by RHDHV. In order to continue the ISPD despite these limitations, the location system of Badagry was analysed and the values, opportunities and challenges of Badagry were specified. The values were prioritized into key values and possible sustainable planning measures were developed. Systematically and focused alternative development based on these key values and planning measures, is a significant advantage of the ISPD framework because less optimization may be necessary in later stages. Three alternatives were developed and after testing and evaluating them, one final alternative masterplan layout is recommended. Since this research does not cover the more detailed design on construction and material level, the final step is not executed. In the evaluation, the resulting ISPD masterplan is compared with the existing Badagry Port Project masterplan based on predefined criteria which represent the main environmental issues currently resulting from port projects. Despite the limitations of the evaluation, such as the inability to discuss several criteria due to a lack of more detailed level design, subjectivity and exclusion of socio-economic aspects and a quantitative evaluation method, it turns out that the ISPD masterplan shows less negative and more positive impacts concerning these environmental criteria and hence this masterplan can be considered more sustainable than the existing masterplan resulting from a traditional process. A very rough cost analysis is also performed and it shows that based on only the large investments, the costs of the ISPD and existing masterplan are approximately from the same order of magnitude. Finally the application of the ISPD framework itself is evaluated: it shows that the extent of successful implementation of the ISPD framework in practice depends on mainly the port planner, the available capital and time for the project, the client, category of port, global and local context and the proof of feasibility and benefits of sustainable measures. The lessons learned from the evaluations are used to finalize the ISPD framework in the form of an ISPD user guide. Concluding this research, the Integrated Sustainable Port Design framework can be successfully implemented in practice and despite the presence of limitations, the framework results in a more sustainable port masterplan. Although there are many recommendations for further development, great potential is expected for the application of the ISPD framework in the future.

Worldwide, the current energy system increasingly shows economic, social and environmental drawbacks and it does not appear to be sustainable. Among the most pressing problems are climate change due to CO2 emissions, the depletion of fossil resources, the security of energy supply, and threats to economic development. These problems can be addressed by moving towards energy systems that increasingly rely on renewable and sustainable energy sources. At the same time, the rapid progress in renewable energy harvesting and information and telecommunication technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for energy generation, distribution and management, and to more strongly involve people in the process of energy generation and management, which is needed to further enhance the sustainable energy systems. Indeed, renewable and sustainable energy sources are likely to be produced and distributed in a decentralised manner, and require energy management systems that differ greatly from the current centralised system. Hence, the integration of renewable sources has major implications for the design and management of energy systems, relying on innovative ICT solutions and stronger user involvement that facilitate supply and demand matching. Effective energy management requires the active participation and support of end users, who should accept the energy management systems, and adapt their energy use to the available demand as to enhance the efficiency and stability of the energy system. Hence, the design of future smart grids should be based on sound behavioural models, which should be integrated in ICT centred solutions that facilitate supply and demand matching. More specifically, we need to understand how truly complex information on energy production, use and storage can be effectively communicated among relevant actors, and what type of information and incentives should be provided to realise effective supply and demand matching. In addition, we need to understand how to take into account cultural specifics in the design of energy management systems, to enhance effective energy management across the world. The active and aware involvement of the end-user can only be achieved if a scalable and reliable ICT infrastructure is in place, which naturally interfaces the energy flows with the decision autonomy of the people. Hence, the design of effective energy management systems should be take into account key behavioural as well as ICT requirements in an integrated way. Our proposal is thus to investigate (1) ICT based solutions for monitoring and controlling the power grid focusing on the distribution networks (medium-low voltage) and buildings (offices and residential complexes) specific to the Qatar context; (2) behavioural models on effective and acceptable incentives to match energy supply and demand; (3) cultural specificities in the design of energy management systems by comparing results from research in Qatar to similar research in other parts of the world, in particular Europe. Together, these will provide important insights in how to promote efficient and stable renewable energy systems that meet Qatar's sustainability goals.

Urban voids and leftover spaces challenge the urban development of cities and result in land vacancy and other spatial planning issues. Such spaces have great potential for innovative intervention through piece-by-piece sustainable urban design and small-scale actions to foster livability and sustainability. This paper analyzes urban voids in the Al-Najada zone in Doha, Qatar. The zone has a valuable cultural and historical background. The paper uses the case study method to analyze the urban voids and develop re-planning scenarios through visual schematic design and photomontage. The paper demonstrates the application of sustainable and social principles to rejuvenate old areas by creating functions for urban voids.

The vexed relationship between trade and environment reached an important milestone around the turn of the millennium, when the trade and environment at least stopped pretending to ignore each other. After years of tortured public discussion on the subject, the Fourth Ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO), held in Doha, Qatar, in November 2001, finally placed a limited set of trade and environment issues on the negotiating agenda of the multilateral trading system. A year later, the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa, placed trade at the centre of its concerns and highlighted the urgency of establishing policy coherence between trade and environment. It was timely that they did so. Conceptually, each is an integral element of sustainable development; which, ostensibly, is a stated goal of both trade policy and of environmental policy; practically, these two areas of global policy cast long shadows on each other and the actual implementation of each influences, and is influenced by, the other (von Moltke, 1999; Najam and Robins, 2001).

Sports is a powerful tool to make deeper connections, stimulations, and understanding of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. Science in sports is a unique program established to present sports as a medium for STEM education. The program included 248 students (112 females and 136 males) from 15 secondary schools in the State of Qatar. The participants took part in interactive, hands-on learning workshops where they were challenged to design sports equipment from innovative materials while adhering to specific design criteria. Quantitative and t-test analysis were performed on data collected over five years from 2012 to 2017 of the program to analyze its effectiveness, along with the Research and Development (R&D) study obtained from pre and post-surveys of students, teachers, and facilitators to further analyze participants’ behaviors and attitudes.

Amidst the chaotic growth of Asian cities, the expansion of urban infrastructure in the Middle East’s Gulf region is arguably outpacing any other region on the planet. Yet, we have a limited understanding of the types of urban form or the extent to which this rapid urbanization is giving rise to sustainable patterns of growth. We ask, what is the pace and character of urban growth in one Middle East city, Doha, Qatar. By using remotely sensed imagery from 1987 to 2013, we examined the pace, quality, and characteristics of urban growth. We further use the results to create a typology of urban growth that integrates historical and spatial dimensions for describing the qualitative aspects of growth and its implications on regional landscapes. Our results suggest that Doha is creating development patterns similar to many Western cities and that planners may need to consider whether the emerging urban form offers opportunities for more sustainable growth in the future.

The urban form of Doha city has undergone numerous changes owing to rapid economic growth during the past few decades. The Qatar National Vision 2030 highlights Environmental Sustainability as one of the key sectors of Qatar’s First National Development Strategy. Achieving Environmental Sustainability requires analysis from meso and micro scales. This study selected a high-rise neighbourhood (West Bay) and a low-rise neighbourhood (Onaiza) in Doha city to be analysed. The study objectives are to, a) investigate environmental factors based on two levels: meso and micro scales and, b) develop planning strategies to enhance Environmental Sustainability in both low-rise and high-rise neighbourhoods. The research tools include content analysis, observation study and open-ended interviews. The results revealed similarities in lifestyle preferences for meso parameters, walkability and waste segregation, and micro parameters, surroundings and green infrastructures. Backyard farming is preferred by the low-rise neighbourhood while high-rise neighbourhood residents choose more sustainable alternatives for mobility. The study emphasizes the importance of public awareness and participation in formulating urban policies due to the changing dynamics of the city’s population.

'Green jobs' help reduce negative environmental impact ultimately leading to environmentally, economically and socially sustainable enterprises and economies. More precisely green jobs as defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) are jobs that: *Reduce consumption of energy and raw materials *Limit greenhouse gas emissions *Minimize waste and pollution *Protect and restore ecosystems The above definition covers activities related to both mitigation of and adaptation to climate change. It implies in its inclusivity and breadth that every job can potentially become greener and can help to resolve global environmental issues. Four areas of change have been identified as necessary for green jobs: physical changes in the environment itself; environmental policy and regulation; technology and innovation; and changes in prices, markets and consumer habits. These areas are interrelated but their relative importance differs among countries. In developed countries consumer behaviour and hence market forces are seen as critical for change, whereas in developing countries environmental changes and policy and regulation remain more important. Lessons from viewing early change patterns in the take up of environmentalism in industrialized countries may be useful in deepening our understanding of the policy-making and incentives necessary for appropriate investment, business development and technology transfer. Countries like Australia and Qatar are currently coping with a host of environmental challenges, particularly in the areas of construction and tourism and their impact on the environment. To take on this challenge, Australia and Qatar have produced strong policies designed to enhance environmental conservation. However, without developing supporting job skills, knowledge and abilities in the labour force, this challenge remains difficult to achieve. In view of this, the project will focus on identifying and understanding the role of particular skills, knowledge and abilities to build and sustain a green economy within these sectors. The project is to meet the following objectives: *To identify the necessary green skills, knowledge and abilities needed to develop and sustain an environmentally engaged construction and tourism industry; *To identify and describe existing and emerging 'green jobs' in the building and tourism industries to assist in the creation of a database of 'green skills'; *To analyse and describe the skills gaps/weaknesses of current 'green jobs' in the construction and tourism industry; *To review the current skills and training system, in particular institutional capacities and skills/competency standards in relation to their ability to create and support an environmentally engaged construction and tourism industry; *To propose 'skills for green jobs' responses (in terms of policies and programmes) to support the creation of new qualifications and to adjust existing qualifications in the construction and tourism industries; and *To provide recommendations on the best way to integrate green skills/green jobs components into existing skills/competency standards for selected priority occupations within the construction and tourism sector and other industry sectors.

Portland cement-based products (primarily concretes) are the world's most commonly used building materials, and due to its huge production world-wide, especially in developing countries like Qatar, the Portland cement industry is faced economic, energy and environmental problems, such as 7% of total world-wide CO2 emissions. For sustainable development, within the scientific community, major international concern over how to reduce CO2 emissions has given rise to a growing interest in the development of materials and technologies able to reduce the impact of Portland cement. One of the possible alternative ways of sustainable development in construction industry is to replace a large percentage of cement with other materials like industrial wastes, slag and fly ash which reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing an equivalent amount of cement and allow industry wastes to be safely recycled into a permanent structure rather than into a landfill site. It is the objective of this project is to investigate the mechanical and chemical behavior of new concrete type obtained by adding aluminum slag which is an impure aluminum mixture that results from metals melting and mixing with flux. The main advantage of this type of concrete over the conventional ones is the reduction in the quantity of raw materials.

Following the launch of Qatar’s National Vision 2030, environmental development was highlighted as one of the Vision’s four pillars, emphasizing the importance of developing people’s awareness of their duty in maintaining the country’s environment for future generations. In addition, environmental education can be combined with various approaches, such as STEM and problem-solving skills, making it an excellent way to engage students in a sustainable program. A distinctive E-STEM program titled “Problem-Solving” (PS) was developed in Qatar amid regular educational reforms to improve primary school pupils’ problem-solving abilities. During this study, 346 kids (202 females and 144 males) from 14 different public and private primary schools were involved in STEM workshops on environmental issues, encouraging them to develop solutions to the problem. The study used a mixed-method approach to measure program efficacy, with a statistical analysis performed using data collected from four separate workshops over two years from 2018 to 2019. This research and development project used pre and post-questionnaires and a qualitative method for evaluating student problem-solving skills. The outcomes of the SWOT analysis also provided an overview of the program’s efficacy in involving students by demonstrating their collaborative problem-solving skills about environmental issues.

The globalization and modernization process of the 20th-21st centuries decreased diversity and created similar cultures—the modern culture also created" modern" cities. Modern cities provided humanity the integration into production. Transportation, accommodation, and the other needs of people integrated into the output have been designed into those cities. However, later developments and research denote that the cities are not sustainable for the long term. Air pollution, water supply, food, and access to services are modern cities' main concerns. Therefore, a new development in the concept of cities was created, which is smart cities. The theory of smart cities provides the administrative power of a country with a well-established, sustainable, and smart development. The theory implemented in Doha is one example of the latest developed/developing cities. The limited population of Qatar and the significant wealth of natural gas provide them the means to establish a smart city. The main catch phrase for Qataris on that development project is “modernization with protecting the heritage.” This study examines Qatar's attempts to create Doha as an example of a smart city while protecting tradition and culture. The focus of that study will be the economic, societal, and environmental developments to denote the harmony of modernity and tradition in Doha. The research indicates that the Qatari administration builds Doha on three pillars: smart society, smart environment, and smart development.

Heritage and tourism have become during the last two decades dynamic areas of development in the world. The idea of heritage is crucial to the critical decision-making process as to how irreplaceable resources are to be utilized by people of the present or conserved for future generations in a fast changing world. In view of the importance of ‘heritage’ to the development of a tourist destination the emphasis on developing appropriate adaptive reuse strategies cannot be overemphasized. In October 1999, the 12th general assembly of the ICOMOS in Mexico stated, that in the context of sustainable development, two interrelated issues need urgent attention, cultural tourism and historic towns and cities. Without adequate rehabilitation actions to ensure a sustainable future for these historic resources, may lead to their complete vanishing. According to the World Tourism Organization, natural and cultural heritage resources are and will remain motivating factors for travel in the near future. According to the experts, people choose travel destinations where they can learn about traditional and distinct cultures in their historic context. Historic centers in the Gulf are now being recognized as valuable resources for sustainable development. This paper focuses on the role of heritage tourism and its implications for urban regeneration in the context of Doha in Qatar and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, in order to use heritage wisely, it will be necessary to position heritage as an essential element of sustainable development, giving particular attention to heritage tourism.

In Qatar, the energy and basic materials industries together with the utility sector account for significant carbon, energy and water footprints. Individual plants responsible for footprints are clustered in industrial parks, resulting in spatially concentrated, stationary footprints. Individual companies operating plants and the industrial cities at large are challenged to respond to ambitious, emerging footprint reduction targets as part of the nation's transition towards QNV 2030 for sustainable development and the world's quest to avoid dangerous climate change. This presentation will provide an overview over novel, systematic optimization-based approaches to support resource integration in industrial clusters. The focus of the presentation will be on approaches to the sustainable management of carbon dioxide and energy resources around industrial clusters. We will explain how the approaches have extended the state of the art in the field or process integration to enable industrial cluster resource integration to be systematically addressed in planning. The presented approaches have been developed into optimization-based computer aided tools that can help planners identify low footprint options by screening and identifying the most cost efficient solutions for managing resources under footprint and other relevant constraints. Case studies will be presented to illustrate applications and the potential benefits from applying the different approaches. We will conclude by explaining current and future extensions to enable resource planning across the broader nexus beyond GHG and Energy.

Scholars argue that the efficient integration between public transportation systems and potential transit villages is the best strategy to be adopted to achieve sustainable urban development and manage the expansion of cities. Thus, across the world, large funds are invested in developing public transportation systems with metro operations to address sustainable urban development and shift toward transit-oriented development (TOD). Since the discovery of oil and gas in the 1940s, Doha, the capital city of Qatar, has been exposed to accelerating urbanization, which, in turn, led to arguably unsustainable urban development. In response, the Qatari government, aiming to manage the urban expansion of Doha through the pillars of sustainable urban development, has (1) released planning policy documents (QNV2030 and QNDF 2032), (2) amended the national master plan, and (3) launched the construction of Metro Rail project (in 2013). This research study investigates the extent to which the ongoing urban expansion of Doha aligns with the developed framework for sustainable urban development as envisioned by national planning policies through a multiple-layer analysis of maps for five critical nodes: (1) Doha metro transit nodes, (2) megaprojects, (3) malls, (4) stadiums, and (5) green spaces in metropolitan Doha. The findings reveal that (1) transit villages can be created at metro stations located near shopping malls, followed by green spaces and megaprojects; and (2) the proposed set of guidelines favor the development of economic transit nodes that comply with the key characteristic of TOD.

Exploring a strategic framework development for optimum land utilization in the contemporary Qatari public sector is the aim of this research. Objectives of the study relate to pursuing a critical comparison of frameworks available for sustainable development of land. Current land-use practices need to be investigated as well as an evaluation of sustainable development. Moreover, recommendations need to be offered so that optimum land use can be guaranteed. Literature sources demonstrate that for the accomplishment of a strategic objective or vision for 2030, sustainable land development is quite important. However, land development literature in Qatar is an under-researched area. For the accomplishment of these objectives a mixed methodology and pragmatism philosophy was selected. The survey questionnaire data was collected from 100 respondents, 50% of participants being from public sector employees, and 50% of participants were from private-sector employees. The results showed that awareness of land use has the potential to positively affect land development and sustainability can be enhanced. Benefits and impacts have the potential to affect strategy development in this context. Interview data was obtained from 16 participants. The results showed that there is a need for improvement in Qatari Land development strategies. Many of the respondents have provided opinions that a lot of land development is devoted to religious activities and buildings. Thus, there is a need for commercial land development strategies. Most respondents also acknowledged that land was underutilised, and new land should be sold to investors, who will be able to utilize it positively rather than retaining the land unoccupied. Land development reforms should also be developed as these have the potential to affect the economic output of the country in a positive manner. One limitation faced in the study related to budget constraints, which created issues whilst accessing research available which had to be paid for. Limitations regarding resource availability also influenced the researcher’s ability to include a larger sample of respondents.

Heritage and tourism have become during the last two decades dynamic areas of development in the world. The idea of heritage is crucial to the critical decision-making process as to how irreplaceable resources are to be utilized by people of the present or conserved for future generations in a fast changing world. In view of the importance of ‘heritage’ to the development of a tourist destination the emphasis on developing appropriate adaptive reuse strategies cannot be overemphasized. In October 1999, the 12th general assembly of the ICOMOS in Mexico stated, that in the context of sustainable development, two interrelated issues need urgent attention, cultural tourism and historic towns and cities. These two issues underscore the fact that historic resources are non-renewable, belonging to all of humanity. Without adequate adaptive reuse actions to ensure a sustainable future for these historic resources, may lead to their complete vanishing. The growth of cultural tourism and its role in dispersing heritage to everyone is developing rapidly. According to the World Tourism Organization, natural and cultural heritage resources are and will remain motivating factors for travel in the foreseeable future. According to the experts, people choose travel destinations where they can learn about traditional and distinct cultures in their historic context. The Qatar rich urban heritage is now being recognized as a valuable resource for future development. This paper focuses on the role of heritage tourism and its implications for urban conservation in the context of Old Doha, therefore, in order to use heritage wisely, it will be necessary to position heritage as an essential element of sustainable development, giving particular attention to cultural tourism. Conservation for the sake of conservation appears to be an outdated concept. Many irreplaceable natural and cultural sites are being compromised because local authorities are not giving economic consideration to the value of rehabilitating such sites. The question to be raised here is how can heritage be used wisely for tourism without compromising its educational and social role in enhancing and pertaining the local cultural identity of the city?

With the aim of diversifying its economy and develop itself as a tourist destination, in recent years, Qatar has hosted many international sports events and will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Doha, Qatar's capital city, is literally under construction, and is facing important changes in terms of transportation, infrastructure, and sports facilities. However, past experiences have shown that the outcomes of staging major sports events are mostly harmful, and their planned legacies last only for a short time. This trend becomes even stronger when considering how sports facilities and their surroundings are utilized after the event is over. Usually, sports venues become white elephants, and their neighborhoods islands of placelessness, underutilized and abandoned pieces of the city. What will be left after the World Cup? How to leverage this event as a moment of experimentation and sustainable growth of its capital city, Doha? In this context, the aim of this research is to identify strategies to plan and maximize the post-event usage of event sites and venues, and make their neighborhoods more livable and sustainable. The research has a specific focus on the city of Doha, which hosted the 2006 Asian Games and will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It starts with a critical review of relevant precedents from the Western and the Eastern world, and then continues with an in-depth analysis of three selected case studies, namely the cities of London, Sochi, and Rio de Janeiro that recently hosted major sports events. Finally, the research focuses on the context of Doha, investigating its public spaces and planning system, and analyzing the government's legacy plans for the 2022 World Cup. The expected results include a set of guidelines and recommendations to help Doha transform its sports venues and event sites into lasting, sustainable, and livable public open spaces, and, more generally, to define strategies for achieving successful legacies from the host of mega sports events. The results of this research can also be applied to other Gulf cities that share many similarities in terms of their urban form and planning systems, and that face for the first time the challenges and opportunities offered by the host of mega events.

MANATEQ is Qatar’s largest master developer of economic zones and is tasked with spending over QAR 20 Billion for the development of three new projects that will collectively cover an area greater than 70 square kilometers (twice the size of Lusail City). These Qatar Economic Zone (QEZ) projects are strategically located to compliment and link with Qatar’s rapidly developing transportation networks and international hubs for air, sea, rail and road. Refer to http://www.manateq.qa for further details.This paper explores the approach taken by ASTAD and MANATEQ to adopt sustainability principles from the outset of the planning and design stages of these projects up until their present construction stages. The economic zone projects are each following the ‘GSAS Districts’. This paper also outlines some of the challenges and opportunities from our experience of implementing this sustainability rating system. The GSAS Districts system has had a major influence on key decisions during the masterplanning and engineering design stage. In particular, it helped focus and challenge our discipline engineers to deliver the most appropriate technology. It is our aim that during operational stages sub-developers will benefit from these decisions due to greater efficiency in the zones from a facilities and operational perspective, as well as reduced carbon emissions. The QEZ projects goal is to provide a globally competitive and environmentally sustainable business environment, which delivers competitive advantage through the most modern infrastructure, most efficient utilities, most advanced communications and most effective transportation infrastructure. This paper will discuss our approach and challenges for achieving this goal while complying with GSAS Districts, as well covering the main sustainability strategies to be implemented:Planning & Design· Urban morphology · Landscape and public spaces· District cooling · Smart grid power distribution· Wet utilities· Solid waste management· Public transport · Adopting ‘Eco-Industrial Park’ principles in the planning stages· Construction·Construction materials consolidation centres· Recycled concrete and aggregate· Workers welfare· Development phasing· Operational · ‘One-stop-shop’ approvals centres· Efficient public transportation vehicles· Community ManagementWhile the projects are pursuing 3 Stars GSAS Districts Certification, our design teams have been keen to introduce the best practice from other established rating systems, especially LEED Neighborhood. Specialist consultants were also engaged to prepare “Strategic Environmental Assessments” in order to ensure the cumulative environmental impacts of adjacent projects were predicted and proportionate mitigation measures introduced. High levels of stakeholder engagement during the design stages ensured that the projects are integrated with their surrounding districts and available utilities, many of which are also currently under development. In addition to incorporating modern design standards, high levels of open space and amenities, the QEZ projects are strategically investing in sustainable infrastructure ( power, water, transport, etc.) for the benefit of their future investors (i.e. sub-developers). This paper outlines how sustainability rating systems were used as a key tool for selecting the most sustainable solutions for the development of their economic zones, which will offer unrivalled opportunities to meet the needs of Qatar’s future business leaders.

With problems around oil and water supply and natural wildlife heritage, air, water, and land pollution have been significant factors in Qatar, in addition to smog and acid rain. In line with Qatar's National Vision 2030, Philippine School Doha (PSD) exhibits its allegiance to the cause and United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Aligned with these goals, PSD's vision targets 10 SDGs by implementing sustainable practices to inspire sustainable eco volunteerism. Instilled in the mission and philosophy, the Senior High School (SHS) department has been promoting the core value, pro-environment, by providing Academic Track and Specialization curricula and imbuing students with love for the environment. This study described the measurable impact of PSD's sustainable practices such as Elite Paper Recycling, No to Single-Use Plastic Advocacy, and C-Patrol and Doha Bank Eco-Schools on students' move towards youth environmentalism. A survey questionnaire was made and validated using quantitative descriptive research design and the Input-Process-Output approach. To know the SHS students' profile, awareness of, and compliance with the sustainable practices, Slovin's formula was used, including 190 respondents as the sample in this study conducted in S.Y. 2021-2022. This study also utilized the simple random sampling technique. Computed percentage, frequency, and weighted mean prove that SHS students initiate action regardless of awareness. 89% of SHS students are aware and often comply with sustainable practices. Hence, they demonstrated the readiness to participate and collaborate in a three-stage plan. The first stage is Encourage, where a committee was formed for a sustainability audit. A program and website were launched with desktop monitoring devices and eco codes for readiness and purpose. The second stage is Conduct and campaign, where implementation occurred through scratch paper, water bottle collections, checklists on sanitary, and resourceful practices per class (e.g., saving cartons), classroom waste segregation, cleanups, and ecological camps. The last stage is Obtain and optimize. Weekly awards, online progress reports, recognition (e.g., newsletters, including students' environmental products and studies embedded in the curriculum), and reevaluation (e.g., behavior modification) monitor objectives and set new goals. To aid in behavioral modification towards youth environmentalism, it consists of reinforcing existing habits and activities, raising awareness and action, and including innovations and eco-friendly technology. Such measures include minimizing wastes at large (e.g., Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose), conservation of energy and water, and partnerships with initiatives (e.g., Al Meera). 96% of senior high school students are aware of the sustainable practices in PSD after the three-stage plan. The senior high school students comply least with Elite Paper Recycling as the total mean is 2.70 with the verbal interpretation of 'Often. The senior high school students sometimes comply with the No to Single-Use Plastic Advocacy of the school as the total mean 3.08 with the verbal interpretation of 'Often.' The senior high school students comply best with C-Patrol and Doha Bank Eco-Schools. The students should have more initiative in sustainability practices with or without criteria and acknowledgments. Although results were satisfactory, the researchers and future researchers can increase the number of respondents in the study to gain better results. Furthermore, future researchers can use this research to assist them if their research problem involves environmentalism and sustainability topics to spread awareness further. Future researchers could also find more partnerships to push the school to its fullest potential as an eco-school. School administrators may utilize this information to help instructors from many departments teach students about the importance of environmentalism and sustainable measures that can be used to promote sustainable development and raise awareness. These indicated actions require PSD students, parents, teachers, and school administrators to achieve the sustainability goals and strengthen the eco-school reputation.

The objective of this paper is to study the impact of using micro-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in rural areas in the West Bank, Palestine. These systems may have the potential to provide rural electrification and encourage rural development, as PV panels are now becoming more financially attractive due to their falling costs. The implementation of solar PV systems in such areas improves social and communal services, water supply and agriculture, as well as other productive activities. It may also convert these communities into more environmentally sustainable ones. The present paper details two case studies from Palestine and shows the inter-relation between energy, water and food in rural areas to demonstrate how the availability of sustainable energy can ensure water availability, improve agricultural productivity and increase food security. Further, the paper attempts to evaluate the technical and economic impacts of the application of nexus approaches to Palestine’s rural areas. The results of this study are for a real implemented project and predict the long-term success of small, sustainable energy projects in developing rural areas in Palestine.

Signing cooperation agreements is considered as the first step in building industry-academia partnership, but it is not enough as far as they stay on paper. These partnership agreements have to enhance the economic prosperity, social equity, and environmental protection and global responsibilities, while solving the industrial technical and logistic problems. Cooperation may include carrying out scientific research activities and applying the results of these researches to solve real problems of industry. The current partnership situation in Palestine shows a weak cooperation, hence steps to improve the partnership are urgent. European experience of industry-academia partnership can be the base for developing similar programs and activities for Palestine and other developing countries. This paper discusses the existing status of industry- academia partnership with relevance to engineering education and the horizons of implementing new scenarios and strategies in developing countries particularly in Palestine. In order to close the gap between academia and industry it is suggested to implement curricula improvement by including sustainability concepts on one hand and improving teaching methods on the other hand.

The water sector in Palestine suffers from great damage and serious institutional fragmentation. The deterioration in the water services and the inadequate coverage at the different levels are two major weaknesses in the sector. Adding to that, the responsibilities are scattered among relevant institutions and unclear. Aiming at facing the challenges and obstacles, and in order to approach the achievement of sustainable development in the water sector, the Palestinian Authority (PA) had to take certain measures and actions. The elements of a “National Water Policy” have been adopted that aim at sustaining the resource. However, a set of measures and regulations in line with the policies still has to be issued and enforced. A central independent authority, the Palestinian Authority, was established in order to execute the National Water Policy. The main aims of this authority as a regulator will be represented. This fairly new approach for managing water resources in Palestine is time consuming and requires a big change in the national culture. Public awareness and stakeholder participation are vital strategies to create incentives for public commitment and involvement.

Palestine is a developing country of a different nature from that of the developing countries of the world. It is a state under occupation that does not have many natural resources. It is prohibited from exploiting its natural resources such as water, salt, and natural gas, and even producing or importing electricity, occupation is the total importer of fossil fuels, adding 87% of its electricity needs. The design of green energy-saving buildings, combined with the exploitation of renewable energy resources, especially solar energy, with 3000 sunshine a year and an average of solar radiation of 5.4 kW h/m<sup>2</sup>/day, may be the only way out of the current situation. The main objective of this work is to provide a review of the green building sector in Palestine in terms of research issued, governmental and non-governmental bodies concerned with the development of this field, in addition to the most important projects implemented as green building in Palestine, and finally discussing the most important obstacles hindering the adoption of green building as a long-term sustainable development strategy. Our urban heritage has an architectural and construction style that meets the requirements of sustainable construction. However, the rapid and dramatic change in the construction sector, in terms of building materials and construction, has increased the energy burden. Throughout Palestine there are seven climatic zones, which in itself is a challenge to the design of green construction, in addition to low public awareness of the concept of sustainable construction. The study concluded that, the absence of legislations and laws binding the minimum requirements of green building are among the most important obstacles to the adoption of sustainable construction as a long-term strategy to achieve the desired independence in the energy sector, in addition to the non-use of financial tools to stimulate investment in the green building sector in Palestine.

Because of many limitations, the siting, construction and operation of a new solid waste management (SWM) facility is a significant challenge in Palestine. A SWM facility should operate in a sustainable in all aspects, including social acceptance, environmental protection, financial equity, and, in this particular case study, the political acceptance of all regional parts is extremely important. This article presents the outcomes of an extended study that aimed to investigate the concerns and attitudes of the residents of Hebron governorate related to the entire lifecycle of SWM facilities. A structured questionnaire was developed based on literature reviews and was distributed to residents in three different communities in the same governorate with various lifestyle backgrounds. The overall investigation focused on the collection of raw data regarding citizens’ levels of concern regarding the environmental impacts of SWM facilities, the general waste management aspects, the benefits gained by the operation of various types of SWM facilities and the attitudes during the construction period of each facility. The results show that concerns about water pollution are significant; the benefits gained as a result of the operation of SWM facilities, particularly the heat supply from incinerators, are welcomed; and ‘not in my backyard’ syndrome is highlighted. The outcomes of this research are input data for the development of a roadmap that may include educational programs, incentive schemes and active public involvement during all phases of the implementation of SWM facilities (planning, siting, operation), in order to also ensure public acceptance, participation and regional sustainable development.

Nowadays our world is faced with various environmental problems. These environmental problems are caused by the increasing pollution in the world, increasing production and consumption of material goods. These problems have serious consequences for human health and also have a major impact on natural ecosystems. This paper discussed sustainable green building in terms of key principles for sustainable building, strategies and guidelines for sustainable green building, and steps for an integrated approach to green design. The study also looked at the status of green building and sustainability, as well as green building materials in Palestine. The study suggested a checklist to help assess the condition of buildings in Palestine and the extent to which they respond to the principles of sustainable green buildings, thus, contributing to help new and existing buildings to adopt a sustainable green building approach, in order to achieve the goals of sustainable green construction in terms of saving energy and resources and reducing waste, therefore, participating in preserving the environment and improving the quality of life.

Most of the Arab countries are located in arid and semi-arid zones known for their scanty annual rainfall, very high rates of evaporation and consequently extremely insufficient renewable water resources. Sustainable management of water resources is a must as water scarcity is becoming more and more a development constraint impeding the economic growth of many countries in the region. The International Hydrological Programme of the UNESCO (IHP) is a vehicle through which member states can upgrade their knowledge of the water cycle and thereby increase their capacity to better manage and develop their water resources. It aims at the improvement of the scientific and technological basis for the development of methods for the rational management of water resources. In UNESCO, current concentration areas of IHP in the Arab Region are Groundwater Protection and Rainfall Water Management, with special emphasis on Wadi Hydrology. Concentration areas are selected during the regional meeting of Arab IHP National Committees, held each biennium. Activities in the Arab Region include both research and training. The sixth phase of IHP strives to minimize the risks to vulnerable water resources systems, taking fully into account social challenges and interactions and developing appropriate approaches for sound water management. Assessing the global time and space distribution of freshwater availability and use, developing approaches to reduce the vulnerability of hydrosystems and their supporting ecosystems and improving water resources management for vulnerable areas are among the main objectives. Capacity-building and water education and training, as well as institutional development (with emphasis in the use of information and communication technologies for water resources research and training) are reinforced, and the social and ethical views of water users are incorporated into the development of conflict prevention and resolution. Many extra budgetary projects are initiated in UNESCO Cairo Office: the UNESCO/Flanders Funds-In-Trust Project on Capacity Building and Training on Environmental Planning and Management in Palestine. A FRIEND (Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data Sets) Project for the river Nile is recently launched. FRIEND is one of IHP's success stories which is considered as a cross-cutting theme in IHP-VI. The FRIEND/Nile project has selected various research projects, being carried out by research groups with members of all riparian Nile countries. The urgent need for comprehensive assessment of the world's freshwater has been emphasized by the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. It urged a collective initiative to this effect. This led to the launch of the UN system-wide World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) led by UNESCO, which aims to improve the assessments of the state of world water resources and their response to the pressure posed by escalating human demands, as well as by factors related to global change. Therefore, UNESCO Cairo Office is implementing efficiently the themes of the IHP relevant to the Arab Region. It is taking the lead in groundwater protection and dry land hydrology through two concentration areas of groundwater protection and wadi hydrology, respectively. The strategy is to consolidate efforts between various national, regional and international agencies in these areas to address these themes. Human resources development and capacity building has been a prime objective of UNESO Cairo Office activities. UNESCO Cairo Office is actively following the UNESCO approach of result based management in all its activities.

The people in Palestine are facing critical situation concerning the achievement of reliable and sustainable energy. The absence of fossil fuel, the scarcity of conventional energy resources and lack of a Palestinian infrastructure for about four decades due to the continuous Israeli occupation had resulted in hindering the development of the country. Palestine has to import all its needs of petroleum products and about 92% of its needs of electrical energy from the Israeli Occupier. This resulted in continuous deterioration of the development plans and also hindered the development initiatives. Recent exploration of natural gas in Gaza Strip gives hopes and new opportunities for gas industry in Palestine; these hopes are constrained by the Occupation. In spite of all these challenges, Palestine has gone forward to utilize its natural resources for rehabilitation and construction. In this study the possibility of utilizing the available renewable energies in Palestine is taken into consideration, these include: wind, solar, geothermal and biomass energies. Obstacles facing renewable energy development were discussed in terms of Policy and politics obstacles, technical obstacles and social obstacles. Suggested policies were proposed to overcome those obstacles, such as the creation of a national fund, the development of governmental policies, regulations, provisions and incentives to encourage use and investment in renewable technologies, experience exchange and giving attention to small scale projects which when accumulated can produce a value.

The transportation sector in developing countries plays an important role in their socio-economic development. However, there are challenges that face the sector, including the increasing traffic congestion due to the high growth rates of vehicle ownership and the resulting impacts. Strategic planning approach is utilized to achieve sustainability in the transportation sector in the developing countries. The aim of this research is to explore the proper measures that would be capable of dealing with the identified key factors, mainly as related to the vehicles negative impacts on the environment, and to formulate a strategic framework for sustainable transportation system in the developing countries. Palestine is taken as the case study, which could be considered as an example of developing countries, representing lower-middle income countries with moderate annual car growth rate. After performing quantitative and qualitative analysis based on field surveys, statistical data, and interviews, SWOT analysis is conducted, considering the internal status and the external environment. Based on such analysis, the proposed framework for strategic planning towards achieving a sustainable transportation system is formulated. The framework has identified the vision, goals and objectives, and strategies and actions. The output of this study would lay the foundation to debate and adopt the framework in partnership with other stakeholders. Key strategies are defined considering the Shift-Avoid-Improve approach, along with the supportive administrative and legal tools. Such strategies include actions related to the application of energy efficient technologies, promotion of adopting cars with hybrid and electric engines, and support using new fuel alternatives.

This article describes the various capacity-building activities at the Institute of Environmental and Water Studies of Birzeit University during the past 10 years. It highlights the gained experience in advancing environmental science and engineering education and training programs as components of sustainable water and environmental management schemes. Furthermore, the major constraints faced, and future plans to sustain and enhance the capacity-building activities, are also introduced and discussed. Critical analysis of the past and ongoing educational and training programs provided clear evidence that environmental education and research capacity building in Palestine is still underutilized and threatened by a persistent lack of financial resources. The data presented should also be of interest to international agencies engaged in strengthening higher education.

Recently, environmental architecture and sustainable construction has been ranked on top of the world's interests. Making use of natural resources helps in reducing energy consumption and costs associated with the operation of buildings. The current architectural approaches and designs in Palestine are far away from environmental concepts, copying and simulating abroad approaches, witho ut taking into account the culture, climate, and inhabitant's needs. On the contrast, vernacular architecture has achieved environmental concepts and has given suitable approaches and samples - without any need to simulate or copy - which come from people and land. This paper discusses how the Palestinian socio-cultural context shaped the residential ver nacular architecture in Palestine, taking the old city of Nablus as a case-study. The research concept depends on analysing and trying to understand the effect of the socio-cultural context on vernacular architecture and trying to reach some rules or understandings of how it works in order to reach a moder n environmental dwelling that is suitable to this concept. The research method goes through analysing study cases from the traditional architecture models and the Nablus city is selected as a case study. This analytical and qualitative method can lead to deep understanding for how to benefit from vernacular architecture in Palestine in finding th e future environmental residential construction. One of the main findings of this research is to set general and special rules for building sustainable buildings in Palestine from the socio-cultural point view, in order to be a reference for designers, stakeholders, ministry of planning, and municipalities. Nowadays the architectural approaches used in Palestine forgot completely the learnings from the traditional architecture and are above all based in design approaches from abroad. Therefore these approaches do not consider Palestinian's specific climate conditions, internal organization of spaces, sociocultural constrains (including s pecific demands for privacy), among other aspects. This models are very bad in maintaining the indoor environment within the comfort boundaries, ignoring the inhabitant's needs, and not reflecting the cultural and religious identity of Palestinian society (Asquith and Vellinga 2006). Vernacular architecture is considered as an environmental architecture, and cultural constrains are one of the ma in foundations of environmental buildings and structures. This paper will discuss the effect of the specific sociocultural context on vernacular architecture and how the learning from the past can be considered again in the design process of modern buildings. This paper will discuss some design rules an d limitations in terms of cultural view, especially because of the strong and major effect of the specific sociocultural context of the Palestinian society in particular, and

The only known spin-offs in the Middle East and North Africa's microfinance industry are Save the Children's microcredit programs in Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank and Gaza. Spinning off the Jordanian Women's Development Society (JWDS), Al-Majmoua, and Palestine for Credit and Development (FATEN) was complicated and difficult. But these experiences brought to light many of the issues inherent to such program restructuring--issues similar to those typically found in a corporate context. These include marketing considerations, and the legal, financial, and programmatic futures of the institutions, especially as they relate to their prospects for growth and sustainability. Added to this were numerous intangible factors and positive externalities brought about by spinning off, such as the building of local capacity or the regional microfinance industry. The experiences of Save the Children and JWDS, Al-Majmoua, and FATEN offer important lessons for organizations that are considering spinning off their microfinancne operations. Regulatory and legal issues and institutional governance structures must be carefully considered when building a new institution, because they can profoundly affect an institution's ability to achieve full sustainability.

Differences about fresh water rarely if ever lead to war between neighbouring nations. However, lack of agreement about equitable water use will sooner or later disrupt water management systems. Similarly, unless fresh water is managed sustainably by both nations, their social and economic development will lag, with ultimate effects on any peace agreement. This Viewpoint describes an existing proposal for joint approaches by Israel and Palestine to managing their transboundary water, as well as current unilateral actions by the two governments that work against equitable and sustainable water management.

The plastic waste (PW) makes up the second largest portion of the total solid waste generated in Palestine. Hence, it is important to consider proper PW management mainly through recovery and recycling and implement appropriate strategies. This study aims to identify and evaluate the social, legal, technological, environmental, and economic strategies that can positively motivate plastic manufacturing and/or recycling companies to recover and recycle PW. A structured questionnaire was developed to address 30 plastic companies in the West Bank. The results indicate that 80% of the companies supported the social strategies that implement community awareness programs. Almost 92% of the companies agreed with legal strategies which enforce legislations to support PW recovery and recycling practices. As for technological strategies, 76% of the companies endorsed the application of modern technologies for PW management. However, only 68% of the companies accepted the environmental strategies which promote life cycle assessment and environmental awareness programs and adopted the use of recycled plastic materials in manufacturing from the context of the economic and market strategies. Palestinians are invited to implement PW recovery and recycling practices to better utilize available resources, achieve sustainable management of solid waste, and promote environmental health.

This article describes the various capacity-building activities at the Institute of Environmental and Water Studies of Birzeit University during the past 10 years. It highlights the gained experience in advancing environmental science and engineering education and training programs as components of sustainable water and environmental management schemes. Furthermore, the major constraints faced, and future plans to sustain and enhance the capacity-building activities, are also introduced and discussed. Critical analysis of the past and ongoing educational and training programs provided clear evidence that environmental education and research capacity building in Palestine is still underutilized and threatened by a persistent lack of financial resources. The data presented should also be of interest to international agencies engaged in strengthening higher education.

Abstract This study began focused on the use of traditional knowledge in promoting sustainable development in crisis conditions. Presented the question: How have successful community- level sustainable development efforts undertaken under crisis conditions drawn upon indigenous knowledge to achieve positive outcomes? The study is a cross case analysis. The three cases addressed in this study have explained some of the ways that indigenous knowledge has played significant positive roles in promoting sustainable development for communities living under crisis conditions in Palestine. Indigenous knowledge community based patterns indicated significant focus on strengths of local culture, social cohesion, the integration process, and special advantages for policy implementation from the community level as key components of sustainable development in crisis conditions. This study especially focuses on efforts to implement sustainable development in crisis conditions. As the World Commission on Environment and Development, better known as the Brundtland Commission, explained in its seminal report (1987), the core problem for sustainable development is the need to integrate social development, economic development, and environmental protection to ensure “development that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs” (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987, p. 8). And as that report and subsequent studies indicate, too often the social development dimension of the living triangle has been ignored or dramatically undervalued as those involved in development have concentrated on economic development and to some extent environmental protection (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987). In addition to the important ongoing problem of lack of focus on social aspects, sustainable development is particularly important and especially challenging in crisis conditions that include war, terrorism, and civil disorder and their aftermath. This research specifically considers the challenges of sustainable development in the Palestinian context with sensitivity to the need for the integration of all three elements of the living triangle and with concern for the special challenges presented by efforts to achieve sustainable development in crisis conditions. The study contributes to theory by analyzing common elements from the case studies and providing a set of testable propositions, grounded in those successful experiences that can be a starting point for building theory. Practically, the study has generated lessons that sustainable development policy implementers and decision makers can learn from when addressing sustainable development in different crisis conditions contexts such as the aftermath of what is called the “Arab Spring” contexts.

The issue of surface water, in a context of sustainable development, remains a critical factor for development in arid and semi-arid countries. Many countries are still not on the track to reach the water-related targets which threaten their security, development, and environmental sustainability. Another issue of growing important is the international conflicts over water quantity and (recently) quality. Jordan is categorized between the arid and semi arid countries, and can be considered as one of the most ten water stressed countries in the world, with an annual per capita share of water less than 125 cubic meters of fresh water resources, while the world poverty line is 1000 CM. The water shortage causes the shrinkage of investments in the industrial, commercial, tourism, and agricultural sectors which ultimately leads to negative impacts on the sustainable developments of the country and region. An interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work is the nature of modern water management plans which leads to solve the problem from a broad view. The concept of this project is to construct a 112-mile pipeline to transfer water northward from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea to pump sea water into the salt lake while generating hydroelectric power for use in desalination. The governments of Jordan, Palestine Authority, and Israel have been enthusiastic supporters of this project, and are calling on the international community to support its multi-billion dollar project. However, detractors of the canal claim that there are numerous of archaeological and historic sites around the Dead Sea, thus it may do more environmental harm than good and suggest that the Dead Sea be naturally restored by allowing the Jordan River to flow southward unimpeded. This paper investigates the direct and indirect merits of the proposed construction and analyzes its significance and implications.

Sustainable development contributes to the development of societies, as they are an integral part of the relationships that are taking place there, which calls for the intervention of the law by the international and national branch to regulate this relationship and achieve sustainable development of its objectives. Here, the importance of the study was to highlight the legal challenges facing sustainable development in Palestine by demonstrating the extent to which legislation contributes to sustainable development and drawing the attention of those concerned to the absence of such a contribution from Palestinian legislation in order to overcome it and to work to eliminate this challenge through sustainable development in Palestine. The main problem of this research is the following question: how much does legal legislation contribute to sustainable development in Palestine? To answer this problem, the descriptive approach was adopted to describe the state of sustainable development in Palestine and to illustrate the legal challenges it faces, using the analysis pattern to analyses the information contained in the particular and to deduce the facts visible from it. The results of the research reflected its problem most notably that legal challenges are one of the greatest challenges facing sustainable development in Palestine, given the absence of its hoped-for role in achieving sustainable development of its goals. The researcher therefore came up with several recommendations, the most important of which was the need to work on the issuance of comprehensive and coherent legislation that frames the dimensions of sustainable development in Palestine, and contributes to the latter's achievement of its objectives legislated by the United Nations. تساهم التنمية المستدامة في تطور ورُقي المجتمعات، فهي جزءاً لا يتجزأ من العلاقات الدائرة فيها، وهو الأمر الذي يستدعي تدخل القانون بفرعية الدولي والوطني لتنظيم هذه العلاقة وتحقيق التنمية المستدامة لأهدافها، وهنا تمثلت أهمية الدراسة في إبراز التحديات القانونية التي تواجه التنمية المستدامة في فلسطين ببيان مدى مساهمة التشريعات في تحقيق التنمية المستدامة ولفت نظر المعنيين إلى غياب تلك المساهمة عن التشريع الفلسطيني من أجل التغلب عليه والعمل على إزالة هذا التحدي عن طريق التنمية المستدامة في فلسطين. تَمثَّل الإشكال الرئيس لهذا البحث في التساؤل التالي: ما مدى مساهمة التشريعات القانونية في تحقيق التنمية المستدامة في فلسطين؟ للإجابة على هذه الإشكالية اعتمد المنهج الوصفي لوصف حالة التنمية المستدامة في فلسطين وبيان التحديات القانونية التي تواجهها، مستخدماً نمط التحليل لتحليل المعلومات الواردة في الخصوص واستنتاج الحقائق الظاهرة منها. جاءت نتائج البحث معبرةً عن إشكاليته وكان من أبرزها أنَّ التحديات القانونية تعتبر من أعظم التحديات التي تواجه التنمية المستدامة في فلسطين، وذلك بالنظر إلى غياب دورها المأمول في تحقيق التنمية المستدامة لأهدافها. وعليه خرج الباحث بعديد التوصيات كان أهمها ضرورة العمل على إصدار تشريعات شاملة متناسقة تؤطر أبعاد التنمية المستدامة في فلسطين، وتساهم في تحقيق الأخيرة لأهدافها المشرعة من قبل الأمم المتحدة.

This paper trying to assess the impact of foreign aid on the Palestinian local development by focusing on the role of PLGS and monitoring the readiness of the Palestinian local development plans to face and manage the future in case foreign aid is cut off permanently from the State of Palestine. The paper poses main question: Is foreign aid “within the framework of the PLGS” being channeled within the proper course of local development? Taking into account the exceptional circumstances of building a State under colonialism and under a centralized system of government. Main results were presented via SWOT analysis which based on deep literature review, interviewing local officials, and identification of performance indicators which used in the assessment. Findings of this study pointed out that despite the fragility of the Palestinian local governance sector which has many internal problems and external challenges; there are many opportunities that must be invested within the available potentials in order to achieve sustainable local development. Besides, reducing the value of foreign aid until do without it is the proper course toward sustainable local development through changing the mentality of consuming into investing. The study presented many valuable recommendations to correct the path of local development in the state of Palestine and how to activate the positive aspects that related to obtaining foreign aid. Developing countries can rely on the results of this study as they are similar in the fragility of their administrative systems.

This chapter looks at how marketing might contribute to the development of more sustainable forms of tourism, how it might go from being seen as the core of the problem to being part of the solution. The chapter also notes that de-marketing may be required as well if tourism is to be made more sustainable. This involves manipulating and changing consumer behaviour rather than reflecting demand in the offer. Finally, it is noted that there is little genuine pressure from consumers for the development of sustainable tourism, as yet, and this might explain the apparent lack of interest among tourism organizations, currently, in seeking to take a pro-active stance on sustainable tourism to achieve competitive advantage. A case study is presented on the potential role of marketing in sustainable tourism in Palestine.

Gaza Strip -Palestine is one of most needy regions to apply sustainability concepts and sustainable planning, owing to its critical narrow area of nearly 365 KM2. In addition, overpopulation and the increasing depletion of limited natural resources are of major concerns. Moreover, the conventional urban planning has failed to solve the ecological and economic problems, and even sometimes aggravates them. This research aims to analyze one of the urban projects in Gaza Strip (Sheikh Zayed City), study their appropriateness and application of sustainability concepts by using the technology of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). In addition to recognize the most important criteria, fundamentals and standard indicators required for accomplishing the sustainable urban planning status of the Gaza Strip.

Development in the third world is greatly dependant on assistance and cooperation with developed counties. Agricultural engineering can play an important role in the educational, economical and social development of under developed countries in the world due to the nature of work that requires interaction with local people. In this paper, background information is presented about Palestine and Southern West Bank. In addition, many on-going long-term development projects in Southern West Bank are presented as examples of cooperation. Regional and international cooperation in the field of agricultural engineering are shown to be important tools that would lead to the training of Palestinians and to the transferring of knowledge and technology. It is suggested here that this cooperation would lead to interaction and building of tolerance between nations that in turn would be one of the factors that would lead to sustainable just peace in the Middle East.

Aim: The study aims to investigate and find the importance of religious tourism for the development of sustainable tourism: the case of the baptism site in Jordan. Materials and Methods: We used the SPSS version 20 to analyze 19 items of the Likert scale for the outcome in factor analysis. Before conducting the axial variable analysis, the suitability of the data for factor analysis was evaluated. Results and discussions: traditional industries have been phased out and replaced by tourism activities at the Baptism Site, which have a high tourist potential, resulting in increased economic growth in these areas. Conclusions: On the eastern bank of the Jordan River separating Jordan and Palestine, at the Baptism site, a world archaeological and heritage site, sustainable tourism has become a tool on which many foreign tourism institutions are focused. The result shows that environmental impacts were positively associated with sustainability issues.

Planning is the main entry point for the sustainable development and development that all peoples of this planet aspire to achieve, Planning has become a way of life in the home, institution, city, region and state. As for planning the Palestinian city, it faces great difficulties and challenges on the ground due to the political conditions that Palestine has lived through since the British rule until the present day. In light of this, we see that Palestinian cities have been affected by the complex geopolitical situations imposed by the procedures and policies of the Israeli occupation at various levels, this matter requires a comprehensive review of their planning conditions on the one hand and the future of their development and meeting the needs of their inhabitants on the other hand. Hence, this study comes to clarify the geopolitical problems that affect the planning of the Palestinian city, as a starting point for understanding and studying what can be done in the areas of sustainable planning and development as a basic requirement for the advancement, prosperity and development of Palestinian cities to provide security, stability, comfort and development for their residents. Key words: Problems, Geopolitical, Planning, Cities, Tulkarm.

The development of the residential sector is an important step toward achieving 2030 sustainable development goals. This article aims to evaluate the potential sustainable urban housing design for Palestine based on selected case studies and to establish the base for future guidelines for housing design. To achieve this, a neighborhood assessment framework has been developed covering four sustainability values, namely the potential for an accessible environment, the ability for densification like compactness and urban density, social aspects, and the potential for environmental qualities including solar design and greening. Three cases were chosen from the neighborhoods of Nablus to represent spontaneity, in addition to one case of regularity to make the comparison between the two types. The research data were collected through an architectural survey of the characteristics of the neighborhoods and analyzed in detail the three mentioned values. The results showed that the sustainability values increased in the spontaneous type in all mentioned values compared with regular type, as this type allowed for a multiplicity of urban forms and use, to be an approach with high potential for achieving sustainability values. Proposals have been put forward to improve the design of Palestinian neighborhoods based on sustainability values.

This study began focused on the use of traditional knowledge in promoting sustainable development in crisis conditions. Presented the question: How have successful community-level sustainable development efforts undertaken under crisis conditions drawn upon indigenous knowledge to achieve positive outcomes? The study is a cross case analysis. The three cases addressed in this study have explained some of the ways that indigenous knowledge has played significant positive roles in promoting sustainable development for communities living under crisis conditions in Palestine. Indigenous knowledge community based patterns indicated significant focus on strengths of local culture, social cohesion, the integration process, and special advantages for policy implementation from the community level as key components of sustainable development in crisis conditions. The study contributes to theory by analyzing common elements from the case studies and providing a set of testable propositions, grounded in those successful experiences that can be a starting point for building theory. Practically, the study has generated lessons that sustainable development policy implementers and decision makers can learn from when addressing sustainable development in different crisis conditions contexts.

Today, urban agriculture, an element of sustainable urban development, is not a new idea in an urban planning context. However, not all urban planners and policymakers consider urban agriculture in their cities. Palestinian cities are subject to conditions of political instability that negatively impact urban food security. This study proposes a new strategic model to integrate urban agriculture into a Palestinian urban development framework based on an evaluation of the current status of urban agriculture in the Palestinian urban planning system. This study argues that urban agriculture is absent in urban development processes in Palestinian cities and claims presence of a clear gap between urban planning policies and urban agriculture in Palestine. Lack of knowledge and will among Palestinian urban planners and policymakers have led to the emergence of negative attitudes toward urban agricultural activities in the Palestinian urban planning system. This study proposes a strategic model to enhance knowledge and awareness about urban agricultural issues among Palestinian urban planners and policymakers to foster positive attitudes toward the combination of urban agriculture and the urban planning process in harmony with the Palestinian urban methods, laws, and strategic urban development plans for support of the urban agricultural while making Palestinian cities more sustainable, especially under conditions of political instability. Also, integration urban agriculture as a green area into the Palestinian urban environment would support urban ecosystem services to become more resilient and increase the multifunctional use of urban green spaces such as enhancement of urban food security, social and cultural interaction, and improvement of air quality and life in the Palestinian cities.

Against the backdrops of severe global climate changes and over-exploitation of physical developments around the world, the overall ecosystems, which comprise of human, animal, natural elements, and the interactions between them, were challenged by significant problems. From the likes of land subsidence, global warming, sea level rise, to the seasonal floods and drought, all are subject to sustainable development concerns. At both the global and local scale, stakeholders - ranging from governments to communities are encouraged to promote sustainability and environmental management actions that involve managing the oceans, freshwater systems, land and atmosphere, and the people and surrounding life according to sustainability principles. The global agenda like Energy Transition Policies, Environmental, Social, and Governance, and the Sustainable Development Goals emerged and facilitated global initiations and collaborations towards sustainable actions. In this regard, the spread of knowledge, the reproduction of innovation, and the mutual learning of tackling the issues are crucial to strengthening the global sustainable development actions and improving the stakeholders’ capacity to support the commitment, which the academic conferences and seminars play an important role. The International Conference on Environmental Management (ICEM) is one of the realizations. The event was based in Surakarta, Indonesia, on 24 th September 2022. The event was a part of the biannual academic forum initiated by the Environmental Research Centre (PPLH), the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS). The event was a commitment of PPLH, UNS, to actively participate in the promotion of knowledge development and sharing on sustainable development issues both locally and globally. The ICEM comprehensively addresses sustainable development activities that relate on both land, water, air, and the society. The conference covers 14 issues from climate change to environmental pollution. Not only did facilitate discussions in terms of the phenomena and problems, the conference also allowed various discussions on sustainability-led public policy and environmental management affairs. The purpose of ICEM is to bring together all academics, researchers, and practitioners to reflect upon the current state of global sustainability issues and to seek mutual understanding and sharing on solutions to cope with the emerging environmental problems as well as to adapt with the on-going sustainability-led policies and actions. Nevertheless, the ICEM expects the knowledge gained from the event can be used as the fundamental sources of effective, integrated, and innovative decision making and actions towards sustainable development. The ICEM was successfully held in time involving approximately 250 people from across the globe which represent various backgrounds consisting of environmental researchers, environmental engineers, lecturers, environmental practitioners, urban planners, activists, government elements/policy makers, as well as students and members of the public who concern on sustainability issues. Within the duration of 3 (three) months, from July to September, the ICEM facilitated (1) the arrangement of key speakers and keynote speakers with relevant expertise and international reputations, (2) the production of materials, leaflets and information, as well as (3) the design of seminars and thematic discussions and publications in proceedings. The final output of ICEM is published in the IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science and Journal of Soil Science - Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology. Both publication bodies are well recognized and indexed by Scopus. The implementation of ICEM activities is supported by superior and professional committees who are members of the PPLH UNS. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICEM was held virtually through a virtual platform Zoom Meeting hosted by the ICEM committee in collaboration with the Information Technology Team of Universitas Sebelas Maret. The majority of participants of ICEM which consist of Keynote Speakers, Invited Speakers, Paper Presenters, and General Participants as well as Audiences who registered through an online system (www.icem.uns.ac.id) were engaged in active sharing and discussions. Four keynote speakers delivered their materials, which include Professor Dr. Abdul Rahim bin Abdul Samad from the University Putra Malaysia who provided a general overview of the sustainability issues in Asia, Professor Dr. rer.nat. Junun Sartohadi from Universitas Gadjah Mada who shared their research on the current state and the dynamics of sustainability issues and rapid environmental changes, Indonesia, Dr. Wesam Al Madhoun from Gaza University of Palestine who discussed the issue from a case study of Palestine and its policy making complications, and Professor Dr. Pranoto from the host university, Universitas Sebelas Maret, who shared his insights on potential sustainability efforts at the local level through household-based technology. A total of 113 presenters were registered at the event and presented their material at the next session after the keynote. The presenters also submitted a total of 113 papers, all of which reported and discussed their findings and recommendations for action to promote sustainable environmental management. A total of 107 papers could be further reviewed for publication in proceedings, while the rest chose to be submitted to journals that collaborated with this conference. After the review and editing process, a total of 55 selected papers were then categorized as accepted manuscripts and could be considered for publication in this IOP series. The locus of research interest varied from issues, practices, innovations, policies, and action plans of sustainability-led topics on land, waters, coastal and marine waters, air, forest, river basin, waste, land use, planning and community development. The cases are also widely distributed from across Indonesia with some of them are scoped within the Asia-Pacific, providing a rich of case studies and policy learning that is useful for knowledge development on sustainability issues. In this opportunity, we would like to convey our gratitude and appreciation to all reviewers for their commitment to invest their time and expertise in making this proceeding realized and be able to be published. We are also grateful to all the committee members for the continued works from the beginning to the end of the ICEM conference. List of Committee of ICEM 2022, Conference Pictures are available in this Pdf.

The question of how sustainable a mining site is at the end of its operational life has been somewhat unanswered. The fundamental problem has been how to evaluate the sustainability of a mining site once operations cease and is abandoned. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is certainly a way to evaluate sustainability of such sites, but only through inference and subjective evaluation. This is because the topic of sustainability still hotly debated, and is predominantly focussed on an anthropocentric approach. Even with quantitative-based EIAs, the question is how to directly evaluate sustainability from the data available using a consistent quantitative approach rather than on a case-by-case basis or subjective evaluation. However, by using the ideas and concepts concerning the coupled relationship between the environment and humans prevalent in sustainability science, the question of what is and how to evaluate sustainability has become capable of being answered. Based on previous work of the author in the development and application of a mathematical model of sustainability, the paper applies the model to the results of a quantitative EIA evaluation for nine clusters of abandoned limestone quarries located in the southern Palestinian West Bank. The results indicate that seven of the nine clusters were deemed to be unsustainable, whilst the other two clusters were considered as sustainable at a very weak level only. The results are discussed within the broader context of the coupled environment-human system using one of the supporting frameworks for the development and application of the mathematical model of sustainability: Earth System Analysis. Within this context, the discussion indicates the fact that unmanaged impacts by humans has created the situation for unsustainability to occur. The paper therefore provides for the clearest indication yet of the nature of sustainability at the end of the mining operational life-cycle without an effective and proper management strategy or policies.

This discussion paper presents the results of a study on pastoral institution building and resource management in the West Africa Sahel. The study was part of a program of research into the future directions of livestock production, agricultural development, and resource management in sub-Saharan Africa. The study describes the experiences and lessons that have emerged from the implementation of on-going projects assisted by the World Bank, designed to develop pastoral associations in Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. The findings indicate that the formation and operation of pastoral associations must still be regarded as a pilot development activity, although valuable lessons and recommendations can be deduced, even at this early stage. The challenge is now to incorporate these lessons and recommendations in the design of future projects that aim to establish viable sustainable pastoral institutions and resource management activities.

Abstract Water is an indispensable natural resource for survival of any species in the globe. For centuries, civilization has flourished on the bank of river based on the easy availability of water. Groundwater is one of the prime sources of freshwater supply, but, its occurrence and spatial distribution are highly uneven and affected by several surface and subsurface features. Development of several geospatial tool based on the remote sensing and GIS in recent time helps immensely for delineation and management of this precious resource. The present study has been undertaken in south-western part of Birbhum district, West Bengal with an objective to delineate groundwater potential zone using multiple criteria decision analysis and GIS. Seven thematic layers concerning with geology, geomorphology, hydrology, land use land cover and edhaphic factor have been employed in this study with proper weightage depending on their role in groundwater formation to identify the groundwater potential zone. By using analytical hierarchy process, whole study area has been classified into four zones ranging from excellent to poor. Primary field data and secondary data about depth of groundwater have been compared with the result to make it authentic. The result shows that the southern part composed of alluvial plain has the excellent potential compared to the northern lateritic and pediment part where groundwater potential is moderate. Eventually, few recommendation and suggestion have been framed for sustainable water resource management that will help the researchers, planners and other decision-makers for judicious exploration and management of the groundwater resource in the study area.

Presents new strategies for protecting forests in Sub-Saharan Africa and underlines the importance of the region`s natural resources to its economic development. Forest resources in Sub-Saharan Africa are disappearing at an alarming rate--the region witnessed a 7 percent loss of its forest cover during the 1980s. The deforestation of tropical rain forests in West and Central Africa is occurring at a rate of 2 million hectares each year. The poor usually suffer the most in the short run--but it is the entire world community that suffers in the long run from the ensuing ecological damage. This strategy paper is one element of the World Bank`s process of addressing environmental issues and challenges. The paper adheres to the Bank`s forest policy adopted in 1991, which reaffirms the Bank`s support for conservation and sustainable development of forest resources. The authors emphasize the importance of the symbiosis of forest resource management and socioeconomic development for the region.

This study examines the impact of financial deepening and sustainable energy supply on domestic investment in West African countries. The data for the study range from 1990 to 2020 and were sourced from the World Development Indicator database. We used the cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimator for the analysis. Empirical findings showed that credit to the private sector significantly impacts domestic investment in West Africa. It was also revealed that access to electricity significantly impacts domestic investment in West Africa. This demonstrates that funding for the private sector and adequate power generation improve the investment in any economy.
