Doha, Qatar: Environmental awareness through culture has become an essential element in the concept of sustainability, serving as a major driver for development and playing a significant role in guiding public opinion.
Cultural events in Qatar are among the most prominent means that contribute to raising environmental awareness and encouraging the public to adopt sustainable behaviours.
In this context, many cultural entities in Qatar are working to enhance environmental sustainability through a range of measures, such as proper event planning and selecting eco-friendly venues.
In recent years, major events have been organized in open spaces rather than confined indoor locations, aiming to establish sustainable environmental practices and boost public environmental awareness, making these cultural and artistic events living examples of sustainability.
Regarding the integration of environmental sustainability in the organization and management of cultural events, Director of Public Relations and Communications at the Katara Cultural Village Foundation, Salem Mubarak Al Marri, told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that Katara represents a pioneering model in the field of environmental sustainability in the organization of cultural events in the region.
