Doha: Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the UN Office in Geneva HE Dr. Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah participated in a panel on women's leadership in sustainability and climate action, as part of the Qatar National Dialogue for Climate Change (QNDCC) 2024.

The QNDCC 2024 is co-organized by the Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future, a member of Qatar Foundation, and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.

Addressing the panel, Her Excellency highlighted the urgent challenges to global climate leadership, stressing in this context the importance of empowering women and beefing up their role in achieving sustainable development, and the need to integrate them into environmental decision-making to battle global climate change.

Her Excellency dismissed the existence of a single leadership model to subdue multiple environmental challenges, highlighting in this context the various leadership styles derived from the main characteristics and challenges of the climate crisis, which together contribute to the adaptation of political, administrative and other functions to climate change.

Ambitious climate policies, along with economic development, education, technological progress and less resource-intensive lifestyles, are all crucial elements for progress towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, Her Excellency added.
