Expo 2023 Doha showcases idea of green future and sustainability

Expo 2023 Doha is showing the way while showcasing the idea of a greener future and leaving a mark of sustainability in its construction works.
“All venues of the expo are built in line with the highest standards of sustainability while minimising the carbon footprint. This is while presenting the idea of a greener future for the Middle East and North Africa region in all areas of life,” Reem al-Ansari, International Coordinator of Expo 2023 Doha, has said.
She noted that the activities and events at Expo 2023 Doha will contribute to achieving the vision of a green desert and a better environment. “The pavilions will feature the latest technologies in horticulture, agriculture and sustainability while inviting the visitors to learn more through interactive displays and exhibitions. It will serve as a joint intellectual leadership platform between entrepreneurs, the public sector, academia and participants,” she told local Arabic daily Arrayah, noting that many public talks, round table discussions and conferences will be hosted while focusing on digital transformation.
The exhibition facilities and pavilions, according to al-Ansari, provide an enriching experience for visitors. The construction work related to Expo 2023 Doha Horticulture is nearing completion, expecting the Expo building to open its doors to the public soon.
Al-Ansari pointed out that great progress has been made in cooperation between the Expo and all ministries, authorities and local universities. “There are many pavilions for the participating countries that have begun to be built at the site designated for them in the exhibition. The construction of the international pavilions and other buildings at the exhibition is proceeding smoothly. Contractors and partners from different countries are working closely with us to ensure the completion of facilities and all pavilions at the agreed upon time,” al-Ansari said.
She pointed out that the international zone is the gateway to the exhibition and the focal point for international exhibitions and events, while the cultural zone is the ideal place for cultural and traditional activities and exhibitions. And she noted that the family area will serve as a centre for family entertainment, activities and outdoor gatherings, using many of the facilities that already exist.
The expo is characterised by a wide variety of facilities and pavilions that will provide a rich experience for visitors. The exhibition site includes the main Expo building. Covered with green plants and in the form of a hill in harmony with the natural landscape, the building was constructed in a manner compatible with the event. In the middle of the open semi-circular space adjacent to the building, there is a fountain and seating. Also, there is an amphitheatre surrounded by stunning views while making it an ideal location for gathering during the expo activities. The expo site will also have attractions like the Innovation Centre, Biodiversity Museum, Conference Centre, gardens and markets.
