Qatar Voluntary National Review 2025

Abstract

Qatar’s 2025 VNR shows significant progress on the United Nations’ (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD), aligning it with the country’s national vision and development strategy. The report is data-driven and highlights that Qatar has already achieved 82 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators, with many others on track. The overall impression is one of steady momentum, with a growing “culture of sustainability”. No goals are listed as “seriously off-track”, but some, e.g., renewable energy and recycling rates, need considerable scaling up. The VNR showcases Qatar’s progress in social welfare, economic diversification, education, and environmental sustainability, while identifying remaining challenges such as data integration, climate adaptation, and private sector engagement in SD.
