| Summary: | Kazakhstan's environmental
situation is at a critical cross-road, where the pressures
of economic growth without adequate environmental controls
and the legacy of industrial production are beginning to
take their toll on society in terms of health. In addition,
Kazakhstan strives to promote itself as a modern and
resource-efficient economy that is worthy of top
international standing. In response, a series of proactive
planning has emerged through such strategic initiatives as
the Green Economy Concept with its accompanying actions that
aim to reduce the ecological footprint of economic
activities, promote sustainable economic growth and place
Kazakhstan on a cleaner and greener development path. The
document details the background and context of the situation
in the country, and the initiatives that are being taken to
improve air quality. |
