Grayling’s Connecting Point unit has signed on to promote Qatar’s progress on the climate change front during meetings of the United Nations General Assembly next week.
The San Francisco-based unit is working the account on behalf of Grayling Momentum, which has been operating in the Middle East for more than 20 years and counts Qatar’s National Food Security Progamme as a client.
The NFSP was established in 2008 to reduce Qatar’s 90 percent dependence on food grown elsewhere through promotion of renewable energy, desalination/water management, food processing and agriculture development.
Connecting Point is to work the media during the U.N. session and arrange interviews with Qatar’s Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, according to its contract.
The U.N. outreach comes ahead of Qatar hosting the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Doha from Nov. 27 to Dec.7.
