Doha: Executive Secretary of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions, Dr. Rolph Payet, said that Qatar's experience in managing hazardous chemicals and gases represents a global model to be emulated, as it has demonstrated impressive progress in strategic regulation and chemical risk management, with a focus on innovation and modern technology.

In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA) on the sidelines of the Chemical Safety Symposium organized by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Dr. Payet noted that Qatar has not only limited itself to the regulatory aspect, but has also adopted tangible practical innovations, including recycling glass from leftover food and converting waste into useful resources, reflecting its commitment to environmental safety and sustainable development.

He said that the projects launched by Qatar in this field represent a model that other countries can benefit from to develop their national capacities in chemical risk management.

Qatar has demonstrated its ability to integrate this comprehensive approach between the environment, the economy, and technology, a unique and distinctive experience regionally and internationally.

He added that Qatar is building a strong capacity to manage chemical risks, making it an ideal partner in global efforts to protect the environment and achieve sustainable development by combining careful regulation, technological innovation, and international cooperation.
