  • Qatar Voluntary National Review 2021 Report on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
    Qatar Voluntary National Review 2021 Report on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Qatar Voluntary National Review 2021 Report on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Planning and Statistics Authority 2021 Preface I am pleased to present to the readers Qatar Voluntary National Review Report 2021, which shows the progress made by Qatar in achieving the goals of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, mainly the progress achieved in the goals set to be discussed in the High-Level Political Forum 2021. In addition to the challenges faced in achieving our development aspirations, the report will also focus on the economic, social and environmental impacts of the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the measures taken by the government, enabling it to deal with this crisis efficiently. The VNR report also addresses future work required to achieve the remaining SDGs before 2030 by aligning these SDGs with the goals of the forthcoming Third National Development Strategy 2023-2027, which is currently being prepared. This, in turn, reflects the commitment of the State of Qatar to link the National Action Program with the international development agenda. I would like here to emphasize that the SDGs achieved so far have been the result of effective partnership between the government and private sectors, civil society organizations, academia and research centers, and both citizens and residents in order to support the State’s march in achieving sustainable development and a promising future for all, where no one is left behind, as we all realize that sustainable development is a strategic choice to ensure the realization of human rights.
