Kazakhstan will host a regional climate summit in 2026,
focusing on joint proposals with Central Asian countries to address global
climate challenges. This decision was announced during the UN Climate Change
Conference COP 29 in Baku. At a subsequent meeting in Astana, domestic and
international experts discussed the initiatives and documents adopted at this
event. According to foreign experts, Kazakhstan is confidently moving towards its
goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, as reflected in real projects and
agreements. One key initiative is the development of carbon farming standards,
formalized through an agreement between the Kazakh Ecology Ministry and an
international company on the sidelines of the summit in Baku. These standards
aim to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the agro-industrial
sector, paving the way for increased investment in agriculture.
«This technology also improves crop yields, which is
beneficial for farmers. To participate, farmers must declare their interest,
undergo planned training, and join the program. The process involves
establishing a baseline – measuring current carbon levels in the soil and
emissions – before implementing sustainable farming practices. These include
techniques such as deep plowing, managing plant residues, and using
agricultural waste, among other methods of careful farming,» said Natalya
Bachinskaya, an international expert.
Notably, the negotiations at the UN climate conference in
Baku concluded with a series of agreements, the most significant of which
focuses on the commitment of wealthy nations to invest $300 billion annually in
combating climate change.
