A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report ranking Doha the 12th most polluted city in the world has spurred several young people in Qatar to begin working on the country’s environmental record.
In the light of the report, a locally-founded group that holds events and offers services to young people here will host a Qatar-focused conference on World Environment Day this week.
The Youth Company’s (TYC) #TalkDirty event, which is being held under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment, will take place at the Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) Student Center in Education City on June 5, from 6 to 9pm.
A host of speakers and interactive discussions will take place, in hopes of encouraging Qatar’s residents to become more environmentally conscious.
