ملخص

This work outlines the issue of sustainable development in a global context as well as examining the potential for success, in terms of development strategy, in Qatar. The aim of the paper is threefold: Define sustainable development and what pursuing a path of “sustainable development” means for Qatar. Outline the challenges facing Qatar in terms of realizing the vision of sustainable development; and explore currently unrealized opportunities for sustainable development.
