THE UN ENVIRONMENT SUMMIT IN DOHA REFLECTED NEW OPEN DOORS POLICY OF THE ARAB GULF COUNTRIES AND THE INVOLVEMENT IN THE SOUGHT FOR SOLUTION TO GLOBAL PROBLEMS.

     The UN Environment Summit being currently held in Doha the capital of Qatar reflected new open doors policy of the Arab Gulf countries with the involvement in the sought for solution to global problems, particularly on the issue of environment pollution which its sources has been traceable in the extracts of fossil fuel and its combustion of which many Arab Gulf countries and some North African countries have directly, or indirectly participated in the pollution of the environment at a global scale by various means that entailed the export of crude oil, or petroleum to almost all the countries of the World and the domestic over-consumption of fossil fuel and petroleum as the main energy sources in the Arab Gulf and the North African countries. However, the unified agreement reached during the Summit that set goal for carbon dioxide and fossil fuel reduction in the atmosphere by the year 2015 remains a difficult objective to accomplish, despite the agreement reached because of many issues that included the high demand for petroleum and fossil fuel in many countries around the World and the European Union countries change of energy policies that emphasized the shift from the atomic energy as the main energy source to the less efficient, but renewable and environment friendly energy sources such as the Wind, the Solar and the Geothermal energy sources.
