<p>Guest: </p> <p>Abdul Rahman Al Mufta - Qatar </p> <p><br></p> <p>Purpose of the episode: </p> <p>Big green projects have been emerging in the gulf as a strategy to tackle the climate crisis.

In this episode, we want to provide space to have an open discussion on whether Gulf youth agree with the sustainability of these projects and whether they have proposals to improve or modify them.
