  • Strategy Report
    Climate Change Strategy for Urban Planning and Urban Development Sector in the State of Qatar STRATEGY 4 REPORT Executive Summary Introduction GHD Global Pty Ltd (GHD) has been engaged by the Urban Planning Department of the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) to develop a “Climate Change Strategy (CCS) for Urban Planning and Urban Development Sector in the State of Qatar”. This report comprises Stage 4 of the CCS – Strategy development and action plans. Qatar has seen immense growth in industry, population and size of urban settlements over the last 30 years. This has been driven by the oil and natural gas reserves that have been developed, contributing to one of the highest per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the world (Forbes, 2012). In response to this growth, a number of documents have been developed to guide and manage the impacts associated with these changes, including: • Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030) • Qatar National Development Strategy 2011-2016 (QNDS 2011-2016) • Qatar National Masterplan (QNMP) One aspect identified in multiple plans was the potential impact of climate change on Qatar. This has led Qatar to undertake studies to understand the impacts and challenges associated with climate change. The primary objective of this CCS is to address how urban planning and urban development can be managed to mitigate climate change and reduce its impacts. The focus on urban planning and development is achieved by concentrating on aspects directly or indirectly related to spatial land use in Qatar that influence or can be impacted by climate change. This report comprises the deliverable for Stage 4 of the Project and presents climate change mitigation and adaption measures for Qatar in relation to urban planning and the associated action and implementation plans.

    SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT 3 FRIDAY 5 JUNE 2020 YEARS OF DIGNITY AND PROSPERITY Citizens, residents unite behind the leadership to triumph the siege 02 FRIDAY 5 JUNE 2020 yearsy of DIGNITY & 3PROSPERITY FRIDAY 5 JUNE 202020 03 yearsy of DIGNITY & 3PROSPERITY THE DOHA METRO One of the largest public infrastructure projects in the world world-class achievement not matched anywhere else in the world. The Doha Metro has been a huge hit with the people of Doha. There have been more than 17 million passenger trips since the start of opera- tions, exceeding all ridership expectations. The Doha Metro will soon be joined in operation by the new Lusail Tram, which will service the Lusail development with passenger services from this year. Qatar Rail moved quickly and decisively to mit- igate and manage huge risks to delivery. These actions were extremely successful, resulting in no eventual impact on the schedule and the first set of Doha Metro trains arrived 3 months earlier than the set schedule. Qatar Rail identified all affected materials and equipment and worked with its contractors to establish alternative delivery routes and/or sup- pliers. This exercise was completed in just a matter of weeks, with all materials since then delivered directly to Qatar by sea or air. In addition, Qatar Rail seized the opportunity to support the move of a number of manufacturing and assembly activities to Qatar which created an added benefit of developing local industry. Metro customers can view available metrolink The opening of the station at award winning routes and plan their journey by downloading the Hamad International Airport enables a seamless Qatar Rail mobile app or by visiting the website.
