Doha, Qatar: The Earthna Summit 2025, organised by Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future, a member of Qatar Foundation, concluded yesterday after two transformative days of cross-sector collaboration, bold ideas, and inclusive dialogue under the theme ‘Building Our Legacy: Sustainability, Innovation, and Traditional Knowledge’.

The summit drew more than 2,000 attendees, further solidifying Earthna’s role as a leading convenor for sustainability innovation in hot and arid regions.

Day two opened with a session titled ‘Women Leading Collaboration: Partnerships for Sustainable Development’, which emphasised the crucial role women play in advancing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

“It is time to support their leadership with the tools and resources they need, and to walk alongside them in shaping a more collaborative and equitable future. The moment to act together is not coming: it is already here,” said H E Ambassador Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and founding partner and CEO of onepoint5.

Deputy Speaker of the Shura Council, H E Dr. Hamda Al-Sulaiti also spoke during the session, underlining the importance of advancing SDG 17. “It is the voices, vision, and values of women that are forging the most resilient and transformative pathways toward a more sustainable and equitable world,” she remarked.
