Abstract: This article looks at the trend of the new direction and emerging challenges to adhere to the UN SDGs in energy sector. Also, it considers how it is planned for incorporating energy transition in future visions and country plans of the hydrocarbon net exporting countries. Mainly it will be focusing on an example from the middle east that are classified as net hydrocarbon exporters, Qatar. “Is Qatar’s approach comprehensive and agile enough to adapt to evolving guidelines post-Conference of the Parties?” is the core question behind the hypothesis investigated in this paper, through extensive review for publication studies and resources. A detailed look revealed that Qatar has an extensive, coupled with improvements based on regional context. Qatar’s initiatives include development in renewable energy domain, investments in green technologies, and commitments to reduce carbon emissions. Adopting some of the neighboring countries’ approaches could enhance outcomes and strengthen its role among GCC members. Nevertheless, geopolitical instability in the region demonstrates a great risk for such initiatives sustainability. Expanding the collaboration to be with more international bodies and private sector partnerships is crucial to ensure success for longer time. In conclusion, while Qatar is on a positive trajectory in achieving its energy transition, continued assessment and refinement of its strategies must be put in place. It is crucial to understand that political and economic stability will be vital for Qatar to meet its net-zero targets effectively. The dynamic nature of global guidelines demands a flexible and responsive approach from all stakeholders involved.
