Сводный обзор: 
Mainstreaming climate change mitigation as an element of national development strategy is the issue given particular consideration by the present policy document. In response to existing environmental challenges, the Republic of Kazakhstan reiterates its commitments to pursuing environmentally responsible track. With ratification of the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC, Kazakhstan mandates itself to reduce carbon emissions through implementation of a comprehensive set of measures to fulfill obligations ensuing from the international treaty. National efforts target “stabilization of the greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”. Given the pervasive and irreversible impacts of the energy sector on ecosystems and human health, the policy stresses the need for accelerating environmental, particularly carbon capture technologies. The focus is made on the following areas of action: improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable agriculture, accelerating clean technologies, supporting a competitive environment on energy markets, and scaling up renewable energy projects. Commitments are made for the ongoing work under the Convention on related matters, tangible benefits of adherence to the treaty are demonstrated.
