QATAR:

The representative of Qatar said that despite the complexity of sustainable development, there is hope that this objective will be achieved. There is greater world-wide attention to sustainable development and proof can be found in the environmental conventions and protocols that have entered into force and the negotiations currently underway. He highlighted the awareness in Qatar on environmental issues since the Gulf War and Qatar is now considering acceding to a number of environmental conventions. With regard to the INCD, he noted that good progress has been made so far and he hopes that the Committee will carry out its mandate.
