MoECC preparing to launch Summer Environmental Club

“The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) is preparing to launch the third edition of its Summer Environmental Club programme, themed “Guardians of the Environment”, running from June 21 to July 2. This initiative is part of the ministry’s efforts to instill a culture of sustainability in young people and raise their awareness of environmental issues. The club targets students aged 11-17 through programmes that combine theoretical knowledge with practical application, and is one of the MoECC’s awareness initiatives aimed at preparing a generation more connected to environmental issues. The director of the MoECC’s Public Relations and Communications Department, Dr Farhoud Hadi al-Hajri, told the Qatar News Agency (QNA) that the third edition of the club has reached its full capacity of 20 students. He also noted that the early registration reflects the ministry’s success in reaching its target demographic and demonstrates the growing public awareness of the importance of programmes that combine knowledge with the development of positive behavior among young people. Dr al-Hajri said that the summer environmental club reflects the role of corporate communication in supporting environmental work, by transforming awareness messages into practical programmes close to the community. He added that environmental awareness is no longer limited to media publication, but has become dependent on building interactive experiences that contribute to enhancing environmental responsibility among various groups, especially the youth. The official added that the MoECC has prepared a comprehensive programme combining specialised workshops, interactive activities, and field visits, allowing participants to learn about environmental work in a simplified manner and understand the ministry’s role in protecting the environment and preserving natural resources in Qatar. Dr al-Hajri said that this year’s edition builds upon the successes of the previous two editions. He emphasised that the club aims to build an early relationship between young people and the environment by translating environmental concepts into daily practices and instilling in them that environmental protection is a shared responsibility based on behaviour and commitment alongside knowledge. The official expressed his confidence that the participants will become ambassadors of environmental awareness within their families, schools, and communities. – QNA
