Sesam Business Consultants already organized Dubai Green and Abu Dhabi Green in 2008.

Following these events the Friends of Environment Centre, Sesam Business Consultants and UNESCO are organizing the Doha Green Conference and Workshops.

The concept to the Qatar-specific requirements is taking into consideration the local status of sustainable building activities, the long-term vision, current and upcoming initiatives and the driving parties involved in this process.

As all previous conferences, "Doha Green " will be made CO2-neutral by investments into carbon offsetting projects. We leave a green Footprint!

Proven contributors to global warming are the emissions of greenhouse gases, one of them, with the biggest percentage in contribution, is carbon dioxide, CO2. In our everyday life it is unavoidable to cause CO2 emission and leave a so-called CO2 footprint.

Traveling for 100km by car in a regular car produces 19kg CO2.
One year use of a fridge can cause a CO2 emission of around 100kg CO2year.
A roundtrip flight (economy) from London to Doha will produce 2.2tonnes of CO2 emission.

But it is possible to compensate unavoidable CO2 emissions by projects that lead to a direct greenhouse gas reduction, support climate protection and
sustainable development. These so called “offset projects”, offered by our cooperation partner EcoVentures, have to fulfill strict regulations. For
more information please visit www.EcoVentures.ae.

The organizer undertakes to offset the full amount of CO2 emission caused by the event. It is our aim to lead with a good example and to leave a green footprint.
