Doha: The State of Qatar is steadily moving to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda after laying out an integrated development approach based on the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030).

Having been launched in 2008, the agenda represents a holistic strategic framework that balances the human, social, economic, and environmental dimensions to ensure the achievement of balanced development that meets current needs and concurrently maintains the rights of the next generations.

HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani's participation in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meetings represents a profound embodiment of the State of Qatar's leading role on the global stage, along with its unflagging commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the domestic stage in a multilateral collaboration to address global challenges, in terms of climate change, eradication of poverty, and enhancement of education, peace, and justice.

HH the Amir has made this commitment crystal clear in his speech before the UNGA in 2019, where he underlined the State of Qatar's commitment to achieving the SDGs, in alignment with the national priorities within the QNV 2030, as the latter is a reference for sustainable development, social progress, and economic diversity.

Buoyed by this vision, Qatar has been committed to consolidating the sustainability principles at the very core of its development policies and initiatives, within a carefully learned approach that includes economic diversification, fostering investment in education and healthcare, as well as crafting effective social inclusion and environmental protection programs.
