Microsoft, Qatar Foundation’s Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future, and DLA Piper launched the ‘Technology for Sustainability Alliance’ during Qatar Sustainability Week.
 
The Alliance aims to drive sustainability impact enabled by technology, support organisations to reach their climate goals, encourage organisations and businesses in Qatar in their social responsibility, and advance change through new regulatory and policy recommendations.
 
Through this agreement, the Alliance will highlight real success stories of technology for sustainability as told by organisations, encourage dialogue between the private and public sectors, and bring people and organisations together for sustainable development.
 
It will also share knowledge and successful practices by organising talks, training, and conferences, providing ecosystem policy recommendations, and engage with the government to support sustainability-related initiatives.
 
Dr Gonzalo Castro de la Mata, Executive Director, Earthna, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and this collaboration will continue our work to engage more organisations and tackle climate change. This partnership will combine the latest technology and skills to develop key themes and strategies to drive Qatar’s sustainability goals.”
 
Lana Khalaf, General Manager, Microsoft Qatar, said: “Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Addressing it will require collective action and technical innovation on a vast scale. We are committed to Qatar’s long-term sustainability goals to accelerate growth responsibly and develop climate change-related technologies and clean energy. We aim through the Tech for Sustainability Alliance to present a platform where we consolidate efforts and drive policies by leveraging our different expertise, skills and technologies and merging our shared vision of a more sustainable future.”
 
Dr Ehab Elsonbaty, Chair of DLA Piper’s US-Middle East Initiative, said: “DLA Piper is dedicated to assisting businesses and organisations in facilitating the transition to a more sustainable future. Instilling a culture of sustainability and accountability will equip businesses, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders with the capacity to confront complex strategic, legal, financial, and operational sustainability opportunities.”-TradeArabia News Service
