QNA
Doha
The Shura Council, chaired by Speaker HE Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim, on Monday deliberated on the report of the Social Affairs, Labor, and Housing Committee on the non-binding proposal submitted by HE Ahmed bin Sultan Al Asiri, pertaining to the launch of a summer training programme for secondary school students.
Scrutinizing the report in question, Al Ghanim stressed that the State of Qatar is committed to safeguarding its people, invoking Article No 22 laid down in the nation's constitution, which states that the nation safeguards the welfare of children from corruption, exploitation, and all forms of physical, mental, and spiritual neglect, and provides an environment conducive to their advancement by virtue of proper upbringing.
It is highly important to maintain equilibrium in utilizing summer breaks, in terms of rest, entertainment, and making optimal use of students' leisure time as one of the crucial vehicles for capacity-building, investing in youthful energy, and shaping their future orientations, he underlined.
Al Ghanim lauded the youthful initiatives spearheaded by a variety of public and private institutions across the nation to groom students during summer breaks. page 4

Qatar to host 2026 Nobel Sustainability Trust Awards event
QNA Doha The Nobel Sustainability Trust (NST) has officially announced the selection of Doha as the host city for the 2026 Nobel Sustainability Awards Ceremony. This prestigious choice reflects the growing international recognition of Qatar's leading role in advancing sustainable development, promoting smart and sustainable economies, and driving innovative urban solutions. The announcement was made during a high-level event recently held in Miami, USA, where Qatar was also confirmed as the official sponsor of the 2025 awards ceremony scheduled to take place this December. During the event, NST President Peter Nobel received an official letter from Minister of Municipality HE Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah, confirming Qatar's hosting of the 2026 global event. In his remarks at the ceremony, Peter Nobel said: 'From the shores of Miami to the smart cities of Qatar, the global need for comprehensive, innovation-driven sustainability solutions is evident. Hosting the awards across multiple continents reflects our commitment to advancing sustainable development and smart governance worldwide.' In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Municipality indicated that Qatar's hosting of this prestigious event underscores the country's genuine commitment to embedding comprehensive sustainability principles on the global stage. It further affirms Qatar's distinguished standing in the field, particularly in light of the ongoing programmes and initiatives spearheaded by the Ministry of Municipality under the Third National Development Strategy (2024–2030), which prioritises the development of smart cities, adoption of digital infrastructure, and the optimization of resource efficiency. The 2025 awards ceremony is set to take place on December 4 at the historic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, with the participation of prominent global figures from the fields of sustainability, technology, and economics. The event will honour distinguished international leaders across three categories: Leadership in Implementation, Smart and Sustainable City Solutions, and Innovation-Driven Economic Diversification. The NST was established by members of the Nobel family as an independent organization, with no administrative affiliation to the original Nobel Foundation. NST aims to promote global sustainable development by honoring groundbreaking innovations and impactful initiatives, encouraging collaborative research, and supporting international dialogue on sustainable energy, smart cities, circular economy, and good governance. The NST Awards are granted annually in three main categories. The selection process is conducted through rigorous evaluation by two independent international committees, under academic supervision from the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Technical University of Munich.
