The GCC and the Global Carbon Tax Debate: Green Policy or Power Play?

Hosted by the Georgetown Debating Union, EarthWise, and QKons as part of Qatar Sustainability Week 2025, this debate brings together Georgetown students and expert judges from Qatar Energy, QEERl, and Professor Rory Miller to discuss the motion: "This House believes that the carbon tax imposed on GCC countries is not about climate justice, but about limiting Gulf economic power and influence."
The discussion explores whether the global carbon tax represents genuine climate action or a geopolitical power play, fostering lively dialogue on sustainability, economics, and global justice.

Judges:
Dr. Aisha Al-Rumaihi, Qatar Energy
Dr. Rami Alfarra, Qeeri
Professor Rory Miller, Georgetown University in Qatar
